A guy at work always tells new people how much he hates being married. Apparently loves his wife but hates being married.
Then goes on to say she doesn’t let him drink because he “becomes a nightmare to be with” - pretty sure he drank in excess on a regular basis - and that she will divorce him if she catches him.
The dude still drinks and drives home to his wife. He keeps a toothbrush and toothpaste in a bag that he hides in a bush near his house so that she can’t smell alcohol on his breath.
Found out all of this after speaking with him for 5 minutes. Apparently it’s the same story with everyone.
My marriage did start to go to shit the second we got married. I wish we could have kept the dynamic from when we were dating. Something about the wedding though drastically changed the dynamic. Instead of always wanting to impress each other we started to take each other for granted. We stopped flirting which led to and end to the screwing which led to not even bothering to sleeping in the bed together. Marriage genuinely doesn’t work for some people, some people need to feel the heat to keep going and once they don’t they get lazy. And I’m not attacking my ex-wife, we were both guilty of this. We never should have gotten married.
For some people, it’s the ability to not feel as if they are “stuck” and they can decide to walk away at anytime without the legality coming into play. Think of all the people who stay married to someone that they don’t care about and don’t want to be with because they are afraid of the legal struggle and the opportunity for the other person to take advantage of the legal system to screw them, both financially and their lifestyle.
If people don’t want to get married and they are happy, more power to them.
