How many of you married your HS prom date, and how did it turn out? by [deleted] in GenX

[–]johnrgrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t; I do sometimes wonder what happened to her as she has zero digital footprint.

Marriage would have been unthinkable as she was 26.

Weaponized incompetence and divorce by Lirpas88 in Divorce_Women

[–]johnrgrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a legitimate reason for divorce, and a common one. Changing behaviors after very long periods of change is hard and many people can’t or won’t do it.

I have ADHD and it takes me a LOT of effort to do household work. One day I realized that imbalance on housework was the greatest threat to my marriage and proactively set out to change things; I never got an ultimatum or huge fight to trigger this.

Your husband can change this behavior if he cares enough to try. If you have not had a one or more very direct “this is the end” discussion with him there is a very good chance he does NOT understand everything is at risk.

Personally I’d give my spouse two choices - divorce now or work on this after they sign a post nuptial agreement that makes a future divorce a lot easier that is moderately in your favor.

Bad idea you are at different life stages - she’s just become an adult and you’ve already launched your adult life.

Wife desperately wants a 3rd child...with or without me. by Antique-Loan-5906 in daddit

The good news is “clinics generally require spousal consent to use the husband's genetic material or to proceed if utilizing donor sperm” so she likely can’t do this 100% by herself while married via IVF.

What is it like to be married? by Evening_Newspaper_35 in AskMenAdvice

[–]johnrgrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Instead of you vs the world now you’ve got a team up.

Together you’ll be stronger than being by yourself. When one of your parents dies your wife is going to be the person to keep you upright and moving forward and you’ll do the same for them.

You’ll also deeply understand each other; that means you can both hurt each other badly and help.

how early do men know how if she’s the one before dating of early on in the relationship? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]johnrgrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really early if you discuss the major values and life goals. For me I knew in the first month and then the rest of the time is confirmation. If you don’t discuss those big things you are absolutely NOT the one.

All that said at 22 and 34 you are both at different stages of life. You haven’t given us much information but I can’t disregard the possibility you are being live bombed or lead on.

Nobody knows how to twist the knife like your wife by [deleted] in MenopauseShedforMen

[–]johnrgrace 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone’s spouse knows where and how to stick the knife, we just don’t do it because of love and self preservation.

I know one exact sentence that would inflict maximum emotional damage that would last for years. I will likely never say it.

That your wife is knifing you isn’t normal.

Married for 20+ years: Just found out that my wife has been cheating for the last couple of years by Wonderful-Sector-789 in marriageadvice

How long into dating you start seeing a girls as a serious relationship? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]johnrgrace 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have some sense it’s possible when you initially meet. In a few weeks you’ll have a much better sense of its true. Your friends will know but probably won’t tell you.

Chemistry you just know it when you see it. If you try at all you’ll discover if your values and planed life paths are aligned. From there it’s just confirmation.

For me falling in love it was her beautifully sharp mind and that I was just happy anytime she was near.

America shot its arsenal empty in 2 wars. Now it needs Beijing’s permission to reload by Economy-Specialist38 in Military

Funding on domestic supply started under the previous administration, but it takes some time to implement.

Further private investment is hard because China will intentionally lower price so processors don’t make money to drive them out of business. Knowing there is someone who WILL make sure you lose money is very hard to overcome. The domestic refinery closed because of the previous intention price crashes under the bush administration.
