I’ve never understood that saying and to be honest, I hope I never do

Hahaha

Keep laughing. Keep preaching. You just jinxed yourself.

Just hope if something happens to me my dad picks up my stuff from the morgue. Lol.

Hahaha

Love the second paragraph

Smart man... Because when they decide to leave they want to take everything...and I mean everything. Prenup is a wise move...

However, she never had a problem with receiving nice gifts. Ultimately, I got rid of that wench, and remarried an absolutely terrific woman who is completely supportive of my purchasing watches or anything else. In fact, she encourages me when I get the itch, but I'm the one who'll put the brakes on it, not her. Fortunately, there's a special place in hell reserved for my ex-wife ... thank the good Lord.

Exactly

Imagine we went around saying “happy husband happy life”

The world would hate us

Because that is unfair

Unfair just like “happy wife happy life” is unfair

Lol

I’m a pursuit of happiness kind of guy

Not a pursuit of money, or a pursuit of being seen as appropriate by society kind of guy

If I’m not happy, I move on

Life it too short to not divorce because it’s expensive

Think of how expensive your happiness is, and you’re letting it all go because you don’t want to lose money

My happiness is more valuable than money

Life is too short to stay married even though you hate each other, because society frowns upon marriage

Thanks for warning me though :wink:

We think a like. I'm 60 so I speaking from experience. Not sure of your age but you're on the right track. I rather be lonely and miserable(which I'm not) than with a miserable wife...

My great grandfather was a farmer and had no education and he told me father when he was a child…. I rather fight with an army than a woman.. Why? because against and army you got a chance to win...with a woman you'll never win... wise old man..

What is it with all these men being controlled by women and thinking that it is okay?

Imagine men did that to women?

Then we would have a march from NY to CA

I just don’t get it

Unfortunately, it’s a women’s world my friend. Double standard!

I try my best to be fair, and I expect to be treated fairly as well

Choose wisely

I had a dilemma and couldn't decide between two dial colors on a fairly pricey model. Her solution to the problem was "buy both". They are now two of my favorite watches in my collection and I still can't decide which one I love more but I do know that I love my wife the most.

Since she is 40, I asked her if she would mind if I traded her in for two 20s.

Her response...only if I get half of the watches.



Decisions decisions



Anyone else having a hard time justifying this expensive hobby?

It’s interesting to me ... several of the above statements read something like “I would never let something material get between me and my wife” or “Happy wife, happy life” etc.

In those situations it is the wife who is letting a material thing get between them. It is the wife (basically) insisting if she is not happy, you will not be happy — how selfish.

I would NEVER let a woman keep me from my passions, just as I would never want to keep her from her passions. Respect should be mutual ... or it’s a “no go” from me.

Yes, I am not married and 53 years old. Has many girlfriends over the years but not interested in the marriage life. I have seen the majority of my friends go through divorce only to become hardened after that experience. Whereas, I am still living life like the best is yet to come.

Good for you. Marriage should to 50/50 on all decisions. Not 90/10 like most of these... happy wife, happy life guys... Both should be happy together.. for some reason women think they run our lives... not mines. Those who do are never happy.. Wife happy...me miserable, no way Jose...life is way to short to be miserable. I wasn't happy with my ex-wife so I did what I had to to make myself happy. It's no fun but you gotta do what's best for you. As long as you make yourself happy nothing else really matters.The only woman that I don't argue with is my mother...she's the boss but also has a limit. Mom...I'm 60 not 16....

Married to my wife 37 years. Dated junior and senior year of college. Total of 39 together.

Can't say I'd give her up for anything.

However, she lets me have some fun with watches. I let her have fun with furniture. We each have our thing. Makes it work I guess.

That's just a matter of insecurity. Once your wife is reassured that there's plenty of money left, she won't mind. That's if there's any money left of course!

I hope you're being sarcastic, because that's not how wives work 😂

Just got divorced at 34. Married 10 years. Took me 7 months to get out of a funk but now I feel better than I have in a decade. Realize now your happiness shouldn’t be sacrificed for your partner to be happy. Has to be a partnership. Also, my watches love me unconditionally....

Off topic, but seeing this actually means a lot to me. I’m just starting divorce proceedings with my wife after being together for 11 years.

God speed buddy. It’s a terrible process and it takes time to get yourself right. Feel free to PM me anytime if you want to chat about it.

This made laugh.


It's just all about health, happiness & family. The rest are just necessary inconvenience we have to deal with.

Awesome. I agree with your mentality.
