I’m extrapolating from a very small data sample.
But my gut tells me that that’s probably the odds when I look at all the people I know that are married.
Some of you will think I’m being a bit pessimistic, I see it as being generous.
Anyway, To the Data!
Or specifically the article.
Seven “secrets” of marriage.
Woman number one steals from her husband for . . . massages, facials and other pampering. It used to be a given that wives would sock away some money secretly for a time the family needed it, at least that was the popular meme 60 years ago. Ain’t so now. If it is so easy steal from your husband and spoil yourself, it isn’t more than half a step to having an “extra” massage from the masseuse because a woman has needs don’t you know. It isn’t really cheating if you don’t have an emotional connection . . .
Woman number two bribes husband with sex to get his labor. Tale as old as time. She already sees sex as a bargaining chip and not something fun to do with the husband, and she’s starting to Welch on the deal, indicating attraction is dropping. It won’t be long before she realizes she can just get his labor for free . . .after divorcing him.
Woman number three is a feminist. Look who has the power at the very get go in the relationship. Dude, what profit a man to gain the last name, if you lose your soul?
Woman number four pees on her husband. Nothing says I have contempt for you like peeing on them. She can’t tinkle before getting in the shower? Please. So much for the pretty lie men being the cave like filthy beasts. As an aside, you want to know which group is more disgusting, men or women? Go to a public restroom for each. The men’s public restroom is cleaner 9 times out of 10.
Woman number 5 enjoys when he’s gone. Doesn’t miss him an iota. Such a woman will soon decide that he’s a nuisance when he’s around. And then will do the math and realize she doesn’t need to have him around to get the benefits.
Woman number 6 got a prenup. I’m neutral on this. If she was a man, I’d tell her to get a prenup too. If society continues to go the way it does (which is not a given) then I would say there will be more of this.
Woman number 7, believes she is lucky, is totally in love with her man. There is your one, gentlemen,
Not good odds.
