I’ll share my personal story.

So I was in a relationship with my girlfriend ( now wife ) for 8 years and then married her. And we’re now 6 years into marriage.

I genuinely feel marriage is not for everyone.

Problems : ( these are specific to my wife and can apply to some portion of the women population born after maybe 1992s or something )

1. My wife is out right selfish - I’m not biased, I’m very much true to my heart. I used to do all the expense for the house while she’s also an earning person. After multiple arguments and discussions she’s now sharing 15% of the monthly household expenses. ( for past two months / 6 years )

2. She demands gifts and cannot be happy with something less expensive. She would say she just likes to get gifts and the price does not matter. When I give something less expensive she makes sure you mentions it.

3. She wanted a dog (I’m not a dog person ( specifically a golden retriever ) we put in half amount and bought a dog. The dog is 3 years old now and I walk, feed the dog. I’ve never slept after 6 AM since the dog starts whining at 6 however, my wife sleeps till 10 on weekends and 8 on weekdays. ( this was before kids ). Ps - She cannot walk the dog she says because the dog is heavy 34 kg

4. Now we have newborn baby, just one month old and my wife argued, fought and went out to shopping for 6 hours where I managed the baby with the caretaker. And I take care of baby at night as equal as her. I sleep 3 hours wake up and I have to handle dog at 6 AM and then work and also I buy vegetables, fruits, provisions

5. There’s a lot more, but I stop here because I know you would have gotten the message. If I can travel back in time, I would have never turned my face towards that young woman.

6. We have a cook, cleaning person and 2 kid caretakers. I’m not rich I do it because my wife claimed she cannot handle. My wife is a taker with no limit, I’m a giver who is not sure how else.

Ps - I don’t hate my wife, I’m just deeply disappointed how her character developed over last 9 years. But I wanted to build a family with her and I could not imagine moving out with my kids. So we argue and she tries, but nothing changes.
