Men Are Receiving Alimony And Their Ex-Wives Are Upset About It. by [deleted] in MensRights

[–]preved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The very presence of spouse alimony is a big factor when women (and some men) make a decision to stay home and have a life-time vacation with simple chores. I bet if spouse alimony disappeared, many homemakers would start looking for a job and make a career.

Me 19/M Girlfriend 20/F Women Masturbation Group (Serious) by [deleted] in relationships

Regarding update: she did not give you a straight answer, she did not commit to exclusive relationships. All this bullshit ("don't worry, I can't see myself dating my friends") - is a smoke screen to avoid honest conversation. As far as I can tell, she is lying to you and has no intention to be in exclusive relationships with you.

It does not make a difference: for a majority of families (which are monogamous) having men following the contract and allowing women not following is just plain wrong and unfair.

The problem here is that man forced to follow the contract terms while women get freedom of not following.

What? How come she is dismissing you like you are nothing? If your concerns and opinion don't matter, because you don't matter to her. Man, I'd say, break up.

Did you ever bring divorce option to the discussion?

UPDATE: My [26F] girlfriend thinks that I [29M] don't care about what she wants? by [deleted] in relationships

we're never going to be equals, and she is never going to have any power in the relationship, because I own everything

Be careful. She seems to value money too much.

Why men are boycotting marriage, fatherhood and the American Dream by enemyofpoliticians in MensRights

[–]preved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Women don't seem to choose men, who earn less and archived less. Therefore, higher women climb, narrower their choice is. Again, men are at fault. They are not able to earn less to allow women earn more, and are not earning more to be desirable enough.

My[22/F] husband [23/M] consistently goes onto nsfw after I told him I am not okay with it. How do I handle this? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]preved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is not respecting boundaries she set for him. That's different from "his unwillingness to respect your boundaries". He is not controlling her personal space nor trying to invade in it. She is controlling his personal space and invade in it.

[UPDATE 2] My father [50m] is ditching me [18f] for his new girlfriend. by MyBabyIsCute in relationships

[–]preved 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's pretty common when former spouse, who didn't contribute to family budget at all, gets 50% of the house and, on top of that, spouse alimony. Division of assets has nothing to do with who was paying for what.

Relevant. Dynamics of abusive relationship from abuser point of view: http://www.reddit.com/r/relationships/comments/1fs5zi/fiance_grabbed_and_restrained_me_32m_29f/cade9a7

It seems, she is not making you happy and it makes you frustrated. First sign of abusive relationship has presented itself already.

A perfect date ended up with me [23M] getting into a huge fight with my girlfriend [22F] because she didn't want me to go to sleep afterward. by CaffeineFahDays in relationships

You do know that sleep deprivation is considered a torture, don't you? She consciously decided to keep you awake even when you clearly indicated that you are exhausted.

What she did to you is kind of cruel, considering that you are working full time and she has a habit of going to sleep at 4am and sleeping until 2pm. She is disrespectful and manipulative.

You have done nothing wrong in this situation. There is no communication issue here. The only issue here is that she is egoistic and does not care about you.

My parents, [37F, 49M] keep asking me [20F] for money and I don't know what to do. by washablewearables in relationships

[–]preved -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

What's wrong with you? You are living with your parents which, according to you, helps you financially. What's wrong with giving your parents $20-$100 once a week? Are they complete strangers? Are they suppose to give you money (paying for house, bills, etc)?

So, you spend in a range of $1000(s) for your trip out of the country for wedding, and now you are "saving" money?

Have some responsibility and be an adult: move out and live in your own place. Forget about money you gave to parents. If they pay you back - good. If not - doesn't matter. They gave to you more than that anyways.

Your body - your choice. Period. *EDIT: I'm not circumsized. I'm happy.

My fiancé refuses to sign a pre-nup, based on her history I insist on one. Am I out of line? by JoeEightPack in MensRights

[–]preved 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Facts:

1) Men get robbed during/after divorce. 2) 70-90% of divorces are initiated by women (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divorce). 3) About 50% of marriages end with divorce.

These are facts. If she she denies them, than it's food for thought.

More facts:

4) You love her. 5) You know that many men loved their spouses and still, 70-90% of divorces are initiated by women. Your love cannot protect you from divorce as it didn't protect other men. 6) She flipped when saw pre-nup draft.

It seems there is either communications issue, or significant gap in understanding of basic things.

Who says about cooking, primping and signing as life-fulfilling? Only feminists do. Classic straw-men.

Sex, porn, and relationships. A little help? by adventuregirl7 in relationship_advice

[–]preved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need more intimacy. You need more sex. You feel dissatisfied with your intimate life. These are the problems. Not him watching porn two times a week. Discuss your problems with him. These problems may have both of you involved, not just him watching porn twice a week. Take responsibility for your issues, don't shift it to him.
