lalastimlala: The first two you mentioned are divorced... And their spouses have said publicly how they suffered in their marriage to those men. Elon's first wife said he told her his work would come first... He even made her sign a document regarding this. 1 Like |

SeaTrade: Gbam. If you want to live a normal 9-5 life, or your goals are not so big, then marriage is good. But when you're thinking of big goals that have never been achieved by any man before, just stay single for the sake of your goals and the woman too... Cos you will either abandon your goal, or the wife will suffer at the expense of achieving the goal. 2 Likes |

SmartyPants: You must have really dug into your trove of meaningless drivel to come up with this. And this is the typical empty male ego. Has it occurred to you that the wife made sacrifices on her part? Are you married? Do you have children? If your child is sick and one of you has to stay at home, do you understand a sacrifice is being made? People like you will cuss out the wife as irresponsible if she also decided to go all out for her career, everyone else be damned. Going by your inane logic, the father of the Williams sisters or the parents and spouses of any mega successful people did not contribute because none of them have their own success as you call it. Today, Dr dre has two children who appear to be responsible, who are not tearing up social media, and who are certainly not embarrassing him in public. While he was in the studio, or in the boardroom, or wherever, his wife was making sure the kids were alright. You think you can put in work if your home is in a shambles? Of course if the kids were stoners or porn stars or affluenza types and the wife was a business success in her own right, you would be dropping the logic of the irresponsible parent. 4 Likes |

GloriousGbola: You're being silly and irrational. I asked you what her contribution was. You said none of us know. Now you want to turn around and say that her contribution was raising the kids. If you had said that earlier, my response would have been different. You clearly are just making it up as you go. And doubly silly for you to hide your lack of points behind the allegation of misogyny. SMH. 1 Like |

Vinnie2000: Marriage should be a career enabler if you marry the right spouse who has your interest at heart. Someone with a peaceful home devoid of issue tends to have a flourishing career because this gives them the opportunity to have a clear and peaceful mind while they chase their goals knowing well they’re loved at home . 2 Likes |

SmartyPants: That's why I asked if you are a parent. Because only an empty headed boy of the redpiller genre would subscribe to the notion that successful married man with well brought up children has a wife that can be disregarded as a parasite. You completely fail to understand that on several marriages, at a point one person may put a lot on hold so the other can go for it. This may be why their divorce was so acrimonious in the first place. Anyways let is agree to disagree. 1 Like |

GloriousGbola: Ironically you have just proved the OP. If children are such a burden, then indeed, marriage with its bequeathment of children is a burden to a man. And if a man's wife's major contribution to his life is to take care of said burden, then a wise man simply preempts the burden by not getting married. 2 Likes |

If you marry the wrong person or in a relationship with the wrong person, it drains you physically, emotionally and psychologically. When you marry a person you're compatible with or in a relationship, you'll soar high. 3 Likes |

Marriages are not the same. Marrying the right wife is the key. That's when doors opportunities and breakthrough will begin to open for you. But marrying the wrong partner is a damaging invitation to the devil himself into your life. It's way worse than maintaining your singleness all your life. Unfortunately, more people fall in the latter situation than the former, reason most marriages today are more of disaster than blessing. So don't marry her if you are sure she's not right one for you; a marriage is as good as the wife. 1 Like |

Wettoid123:Lol Exactly the same thing my wife said when i wanted to go into transport business with my sienna as a side hustle. I had to give it out on hire purchase, the man I gave the vehicle has bought another car for his wife now barely 16months later, with my sienna... that's after deligently paying for the vehicle o. Women think we re still in the olden days when White collar jobs are more respected than dirty jobs, it's dirty jobs that money is now. But they believe as long as you have a BSc (A degree that's now like waec and neco of those days) the world is at your feet. Woman expect too much from thier man, worst if you are a 'graduate'. They want to make sure your hustle is something they can brag to their friends, when in reality the money making is all that truely matters! 12 Likes 4 Shares |
