A question about marriage

I see so many married jokes and married comments from you guys complaining about life after marriage, no sex, no money, etc.

If life is so bad with us women then why do you all get married?? If it's that bad surely you'd be better off staying single.

I want to be single but my girlfriend won't let me act single. :D

You'll probably find that most of the people making the jokes aren't married. The jokes are funny either way. Its like the blond jokes - their funny but that doesnt make them true.

But it’s not just jokes, it’s also comments (and most of them from married men). It seems everyone has the same opinion and that it’s universal that being married sux. I just want to know why so many people do it if this is the case.

I bet they wouldn't give up being married to be single. Being single sucks.

i have noticed this too....why do you guys get married if its so horrible or not something that you guys want or like?

just wondering...please don't take offense in any way...

me is single 2.......so am just in it for the laughs......:hehe: :hehe:

I don't think guys really hate marriage....it just an easy target for cheap laughs ......:lol2:

It's a male thing.
Men like to act like they are cool in front of other men because they are worried about showing any signs of weakness in front of mates etc.
Can you imagine a group of blokes standing around having a few beers and saying " oh i love my wife so much, and i know she loves me and we have such a wonderful life together"....yeah right...lol

For all the little faults my wife might have(and me too), i wouldn't change anything. We got married for the same reason as every other person...Love

(see what happens, when a man admits that he actualy loves his wife, and is glad he's married to her. Generaly the more a guy complians the less he means it. (about marriage anyway))

You forgot that i have been married for 14 years....that was 14 years ago, not now !!!
:p :p

Guess I am the worst offender in this forum:( It's a safety valve,I guess....if you are lucky enough to find the perfect partner,I am happy for you.......but if you are lucky enough to have an imperfect marriage that you can improve by simply talking to your partner,I'd love to know the secret! like P-man said,it's a guy thing.....odd that we would rather tell our woes to strangers,but that's the way of least resistance....when did you lever hear the second guy say"Mate,you really need to try a bit harder around the house and stop dissing your wife"?;) Most married men would rather walk barefoot over broken bottles than try to talk to their wives about relationship problems:eek:

I love being married.

I also love complaining about things.

Ergo, I love complaining about being married.

If I were single, no doubt I'd complain about that instead. ;)

Hehehe! :D

I'm single too (at least, from a marital point of view!! :hehe: )... I'm too bloody young to even think about marriage at this stage! I don't think I'd complain about it too much though. If you marry the right person, there's no reason why you should complain (unless it's just a good natured joke - like most in here seem to be).

Don't worry FTO Girl... I'm betting that the guy you marry will be lucky enough to be praising the Lord every day for blessing his life so! :rolleyes: :devil:

errm I think U'll find that she is already married......:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Well FTO not everyone has that story book marriage. I have been married twice. Once very young then again 6 years later. Both times as you know were far from a story book. They were more like a horror novel.

The one's lucky enough to find a soul mate are the ones such as Primera man are able to work though many of lifes trials and tribulations.

Being single has its advantages but also has many draw backs. Personally I miss the companionship more than anything. Don't get me wrong the sex part is nothing to laugh off. Having a partner should mean at least you will not come in contact with any of todays sexual transmitted viri. When your single that part is always in the back of your head. When I was married both times that was also not a problem or lack of. Actually sex was GREAT :)

Moppie... Whats a poofter? :confused: :huh: I can only guess :hehehe:

Any how, on marrage and it being the butt of jokes and complaints, men have complained about marrage for eons not because it's really that bad, just because (IMHO) if we don't complain about the unimportant things, then the really important things will be blown out of proportion. I donno, kinda like a guy in prison complaining about the food. He complains about the food when the real issue is that he is in the slammer for the next 10 to 20 and will have his anal virginity in question every day for the next 10 to 20.

Well thank you for clarifying this for me guys. :)

I feel really sad reading some of the posts. I’d hate to think that my husband wouldn’t tell me if he thought something was wrong with our marriage. No marriage is ever going to be 100% smooth all the time, but that’s what marriage is all about, you’re in it for the good times as well as the bad and hopefully the good times will outweigh the bad. :)

This not meant to offend any married people here...but from what I have observed personally by watching people I know, I think part of the "problems" come from when one person marries another thinking they can change their mate. Instead of the mate making the changes, it builds up tensions and leads to a domino effect right into other problems, and like a cancer, it works its way into all other aspects of the relationship. Ultimately the relationship becomes a like a lifelong struggle for dominance or ends catastrophically leaving both parties bitter toward the other, and/or toward relationships thereafter.

Don't worry FTO, you have one of the best marriages I've seen. You two fit together perfectly.

yeah you both have the same taste in cars now:smoker2:

I envy you FTO Girl - sounds like your relationship is fantastic. :) I lost a de facto relationship that shouldn't have happened in the first place but I have no regrets. Your attitude gives me some hope :)

Most (most) of my comments about marriage are for a laugh.. Most other married men can relate. The comments are not intended to degrade my wife. I'll admit sometimes I'm a little frustrated with her, so I vent here, instead of to her face, which will cause a bigger blow out.

I love my wife, and cherish her, but as a wife she makes good target for my jokes, and being the good wife she is, understands, and laughs with them.

Sex is not an issue with this marriage, I get as much as I want, where I want, how I want.. no complaints in that department. The complaints you will hear me aire are residual flashbacks from my first marriage... yes she was a frigid B**** .......... and blue balls suck!


All in all my comments are for fun. Don't take me too seriously.

If it were that bad, I would go to the courthouse and file for the big "D"

Your attitude gives me some hope :) I like to think our relationship is good (and certainly for me it seems that way). I love my hubbie to pieces and wouldn't change anything about him at all. I love him unconditionally :)

and I'm also glad that I've given you hope :)

Simply stated(in my view) the grass is always greener on the other side. Married men look at their single friends and envy them because they are going out with many women. Single men look at their married friends and envy them for their seemingly picturesque lifestyle.

Little does either party know that on either side of the river, there are storms brewing. Life knows not the perfect path. Men just tend to bitch about it because it's an easy thing to bitch about. 99.9% of what is said is just a joke. I myself have recently gotten engaged, and if all goes well, nearly a year to the day I will start the better part of my life. Sure, I complain about my relationship with my buddies. But that is just the way it goes. The second I see her coming, there is not another thing in this world which I love more.

just my .02
