I'm not married, but I know well enough about it to know what it's not!
First of all, it's not about sex, that's the most important thing to realize, it's important, but it's not all there is.
If you're married to someone who is not man enough to tell you when you're wrong, then you might as well turn lesbian and marry some other woman because that moron who has his name on your marriage certificate is no man, he has no balls, no spine and no brains to go with them
I have said this a million times before if not more, but people don't listen!
Marriage is based on sharing, caring, enjoying, sacrificing and a million other selfless acts.
If the man is doing all the sacrificing and is not getting anything back, (something in return like a WIFE), then he's not a man. He's a poodle!
If a woman is looking to marry a man, who's not man enough to stand up for his own rights, then how in the world is he going to support her and stand up for her rights!?
I don't want to hear anyone bullshitting about how he's an amazing man for accepting his wife's crazy ideas. He's a slave of her whims and is not man enough to tell her that what she is doing is wrong
I have no respect for such non-men. For not standing up for their own.
There's a huge difference between supporting the wife, and being her poodle. I for one refuse to be such a man! I have something you can't find in such men and it's simply called dignity.
There isn't a single marriage in the whole universe without sacrifice and compromise. No one asks the man, to do it all alone, or the woman to take it all alone. It's all about SHARING! I am just frustrated by GROWN ADULTS who don't understand the kindergarten concept of sharing!
And I don't want to hear from bitter self proclaimed feminists either. I'm not asking for less rights for women, or more rights for men, I'm asking for EQUAL rights. Justice for all, dignity for all, self and mutual respect for all. Not for one party at the expense of the others
I know there has been cases where the man will pick up and relocate to different country to bring home the bread. But it's not his decision alone and it's really a mutual sacrifice. It's not like if the man does it then it's OK and if the woman does it then it's not OK! It's hard on the two, because the two end up in a relationship that is neither marriage nor singlehood (if that is a word).
There's no difference if you're being a hypocrite pro men or pro women. It's the same thing and these very interesting bitter and angry feminists are like this for a reason. They have suffered in the past and they're bringing it all out on everyone. Everyone likes to generalize. Everyone likes to think that they know everything about the whole gender from their experience with two guys who screwed them and left them to high and dry. Well, all generalizations are false. (including this one)
I choose to be a MAN. Not only anatomically. This comes with a certain expectations, it comes with a certain amount of obligations and I'm vowing to fulfil all my commitments. On the other hand, it comes with a well known set of rights, and I will try to get as much of them as I can. I might be lenient when it comes on my rights, but I will not come short of my obligations. That's the kind of man I want to be, and I will be relentless in my efforts.
One thing people forget, MY Dignity, is an extension of my wife's dignity, and her dignity is my own. If I am being stomped all over for her sake, then it's her dignity that is being smothered! Not only mine! And if she doesn't feel that, then she's not worthy.
if being married means I'm going to be someone's bitch, then to hell with marriage! Yes, that's a Qwaiderization, and might be the best Feminist slogan you can ever find. We're not that different, we all want to live with dignity, and not at the expense of the other!
Memories....
Who wouldn't aslan? Isn't this the ABC of life?
Some people are adamant in thier quest to reduce men to nothing more than an ATM machine and rarely (extremely rarely) sperm bank. If he dares say a single word, he is deemed sexist bastard. Even it has to do with matters directly related to his own well being and family life
There's nothing wrong about demanding rights for both men and women, but we should all be reasonable in the asks
I guess that: "el-jenis el-lateef" is not that "lateef" after all :-)
It's tough dude, really, to find a woman who is willing to sacrifice as much as you do, doesn't control you, while at the same time fits your description of the perfect marriage.
But what I do believe is that there is a woman for every man and a man for every woman. Just need to look under more rocks while avoiding family pressure and other social issues.
The main reason I have not dated the "available" choices I have here is either because they make great friends more than people you would spend your life sharing your life with, or because they're great at everything except that they are too controlling or undercontrolling.
I am also a victim of my own will to please, your no-balls point. I gotta work on it a lot. You said on your previous on your friend that you usually keep things in. I am like that and over time it builds lots and lots of anger or resentment.
My tolerance has been reduced significantly and for some while now I have been standing up to my rights more than ever. Eza shi ma 3ajabni, eedak wel keyboard bel complaint emails.
Cuz in the end both the man and women are entitled to their own rights and why should either give up their share of life to please the other? Sacrifices, compromises, yes fine I know that. Bas to lose yourself for a partner, or any other matter in life, is just plain ridiculous and it's good I realized that before it is too late
gonna put it on ma msn nick some day

That's just a myth :)

You're absolutely right, it's hard to find such people. They're rare, but their out their. The sad part is that other women look at them and brand them as door mats or something. Kind of like internal sexism of some sort!
I love to please too. But I have learned -the hard way- that the more you give up, the more the expectations rise, and at the end, you'll be nothing more than a Yes-Man
It's good that your tolerance has been reduced. You've grown as a person, and that made you realize more and more what pleases you and what annoys you. It's very important to be clear on those especially with the other party. So they know how to deal with you
Thank you for taking the time to write this lengthy smart comment
