I can tell you why I’m divorced, which may explain why so many men don’t get married. “Bait and switch” is why.
Soon after I got married, my ex-wife packed on 40 pounds, decided sex wasn’t that important anymore, and determined that I didn’t make enough money for the lifestyle she wanted. After she put the weight on and I realized that my dream of starting my own business (stated clearly pre-marriage) wouldn’t be supported but actually undermined, I came to realize that I was a general all-around inconvience. If it wasn’t what she wanted to do, when she wanted to do it, what she wanted to buy, or how the house was supposed to look, it was a problem.
What’s in for me? Why would any woman think I would put up with that, especially from a woman I’m not having sex with. I find it bizarre that my ex-wife didn’t realize I’d have a problem with it.
For men, if you’re not going to be sexually satisfied, there’s no reason to be in a relationship. If you don’t want kids, there’s no reason to get married.
