Assuming it's not fiction, the guy only has himself to blame. Marriage is not prison; you can leave if you want.

 

[Mr.Positive]

It was his choice to get married, his choice to have children...

He can't blame his family for that.

Since he's married, by his choice, he needs to man-up and realize that there's people depending on him, for their welfare, growth..his job now...isn't Thailand..

It's raising his children properly. That should be his focus.

 

[Bible_Belt]

But he's not raising his children well. He's showing them a horrible example of a relationship. His kids will think that men are supposed to be whipped and they will grow up to have fvcked up relationships of their own. I think 'doing the right thing' is a form of child abuse. Ironically, staying in a hellhole marriage is supposed to be "for the kids?" If his kids are not just as miserable as him (and his wife), then they will be eventually.

I think divorce is better for kids than a bad marriage. The kids I knew whose parents stayed together for their sake are just as fvcked up as anyone else.

Well, he needs to raise his children well. He needs to be a role model for his children, he needs to guide them, teach them...hell, give his life for them if needed.

When you have children, it isn't about YOU anymore!!

F*ck the marriage. We all know how "fragile" marriages are now. That's no secret.

It's our children that really matter. It's the young ones that are grasping for guidance, but not finding any masculine role-models.

We need to recognize this. The lack of masculine leaders for our children.

There's comes a point where men need to step up to the plate and lead.

That point is our children.

Every goddamned word Brother Positive wrote is fvcking true to the bone.

He made his bed and his kids but doesn't have the sac to get his sh!t together and whip that ass? Fvck him.

He's responsible for his inhuman condition.

 

[Last Man Standing]

He needs to control his wife and children or else they will control him!! He likes the pimp lifestyle but that lifestyle gets old - if you love hors, then do not get married! And if you don't like large woman then don't get married to one!!
