Why would I have wanted to get a vasectomy? I wouldn't trade in my 15-month-old daughter for all the money or anything else in the world. You don't understand this because you're not a father. I never fully understood (if at all) the true magnitude of love (that dreaded L-word here on SS) a...

I've been training Commando Krav Maga for 8 years. I know the "commando" part might sound funny to some people, but it is the real deal. It works based on raw instinct and natural movements, so it flows easily and naturally. It is the most practical system out there. No pesky belts or styles...

Serves her right. But let's not make this a gender issue. One could easily see a guy that girl's age doing the same exact thing and getting dealt with just the same. Most kids that age just haven't been kicked upside the head by the realities of adulthood yet.

LOL...it's hilarious to see young guys who have never been married try to sound as if they have first-hand experience with being married. Even funnier is that they hang out at the "Married Man" forum in the first place.

So you have no desire to ever marry because you can never trust any woman enough. Then why are you in the Married Man forum? Are you on some crusade to get married men here to divorce their wives? Of course there are no guarantees in life. Yet for someone who knows that, you almost sound as if...

All of us here are well aware of how messed up the court system is regarding divorce, the disadvantage men are at, and how so many Western women don't have the fortitude and attention span for the long haul; but I am WAY beyond that with my post. That is why you screen, then screen some more...

^^^ THAT. I always find it funny how the anti-marriage folk complain about how the good 'ol days are gone....in terms of gender relations, that is; but when it comes to having children, they seem just fine with tearing a page out of the Radical Feminist's Guide to the Galaxy and supporting the...

It's normal and healthy for a married man to seek out a special time and place for himself that he can retreat to and develop/entertain another part of himself that contributes to who/what he is; same goes for a married woman. For me it's my standalone recording and rehearsal studio out in the...

The more I think about it, I ultimately have to agree with the above, disappointing as it is. As much as I've given my former friend the benefit of the doubt and tried to deny the possibility of him being jealous, it's hard for me to ignore the many occasions in which he attempted to ridicule me...

I guess you didn't quite read the original post all that well, for you'd see I had no problem mentioning how there were times he was doing well in various aspects of his life, whereas I wasn't. I have nothing against him. I have something against his actions. And there's no way I can "embarrass...

I've never demanded or expected that. Granted, he was quite down in his life the last few times we spoke, with unemployment, dismal job prospects, bills falling way behind, etc, and I can't expect anyone to be happy in such a situation. But it's not as if I ever assumed that he'd be unhappy in...

Drifting apart as life changes but still remaining friends is one thing, and I can appreciate that. My circle of friends began drifting apart to an extent years ago as we got older and took on different paths in life. That's to be expected, though what I never expected was complete avoidance...

My family came to NY from Cuba in 1959. Male or female, there was no choice but to work hard with no excuses. At the same time, though, they still held on to traditional gender roles, to which they still adhere. A working wife opens up a can of worms today only if the wife's values are not...

This is a mature point of view. I know that "love" is usually considered a curse word around here, and equated with supposedly being "AFC;" but we are not robots, nor are we made of stone. If love doesn't factor into a person's marriage, that person got into it for the wrong reason.

He's definitely not a bad guy at all, but I don't see how deleting a lifelong friend from his life will help him cope with where he is in his life. There were times when he was doing better than me job-wise, financially, and girl-wise, yet I never felt spiteful or jealous; in fact, I was...

I agree with Slickster and FairShake. I would not want my wife just staying home and devoting her life to "homemaking," no matter how much money I made. Wanting to pursue higher education and a career is not a "feminist" thing; it's a personal, human thing. I come from an immigrant family in...

I figured being jealous of friends was a female trait, but I'm not sure what to make of this. My oldest friend, whom I've known since we were 4 or 5 (I'm 39 now) seems to not want to have anything to do with me these days, though I have no idea why. I haven't done anything to him, nor have we...

My stance/justification: http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showpost.php?p=1918199&postcount=9

This thread brought me out of lurk mode. You may have "found" yourself extremely irresponsible towards your family only recently; but you've been extremely irresponsible towards your family since the moment you first touched your mistress. Not only have you cheated on your wife; you've also...

Marriage implies intent and family-oriented leanings, especially when children are in the picture. I always believed in this to some extent, but it became even more apparent to me as I got older. My wife and I are quite conservative, and we both feel that it would have been a disservice to our...
