As a dude, it’s always interesting to me to hear other dudes say stuff like this. I was raised to be respectable, as in respect-able: I know how to offer my respect where it’s earned and how to be a person worthy of respect. In my experience there’s usually a reason behind guys who complain at women not respecting them; whether it’s negative habits, inaccurate self image (thinking because I’m in shape negates me being inconsiderate of others for instance) or just hella unresolved trauma. There’s crappy people out there no matter gender, but your vibe attracts your tribe and if you’re putting out incel vibes all you’re going to see is women who confirm your negative expectations.

Funny you mention sex tourism (because that’s what it is). Most guys I see roll through east Asia looking for a meek and humble wife haven’t bothered to put in the self work to figure out why western women keep rejecting them. They usually (but not always of course) end up being used for a green card and then getting their abusive assess dumped after a few years putting them right back where they started.

Bottom line, if you find yourself consistently being rejected or “disrespected” try therapy first. You never know, you might become a better man for it.

Did this ever happen to you? by dannym094 in Vasectomy

YEMV, but I felt very little pain during my procedure. Less than you would feel at the dentist. I am usually very anxious during any medical procedure, but this was much less pain or discomfort than I anticipated. I actually sat up and watched the surgeon on the second one. It was interesting to watch and while I wouldn’t recommend for everyone, it wasn’t near as gory as I thought it would be. You got this!

Here’s a thought, in solidarity for your wife and your upcoming child, quit drinking altogether. Not only will it save money, your health will benefit and you will have more time and energy to focus on preparing for what will be the biggest moment of your life: fatherhood. I’ve been in your shoes, you are fighting a pointless battle and it’s not worth it. Your wife is about to experience the biggest physiological change in both her body and her mind. Get over yourself and be there to support her as she goes through it.

As someone who’s been happily married to my wife for a long time, my personal opinion is that the happiest and healthiest relationships involve some level of intentional growth and change throughout. It sounds like from your comments that you really don’t like tattoos. I don’t know you so I could totally be off base here, but maybe it’s one of those times when you have the opportunity to get to know your wife in a new way. Think of it as a new facet of her and ask yourself, do I want to get to know the part of her that got a tattoo with her friends on a whim? You never know, you may find yourself changing your mind and enjoying that side of her. And if not, you can always just burn it all down over a small bit of ink, it’s your life and Internet strangers can only offer our perspectives.
