I am currently in an LTR after having most of my life spun some plates.

After hitting a rough patch with my LTR, I realized that it really does seem that outside of sex and potentially having kids my LTR really has noting to offer me, no loyalty in the down times, not help in stressful times, she does not cook, she does not clean etc etc.

I think however that in the modern times this is what most guys feel! So my question is outside of kids (because you can easily get sex from spinning plates) what would be the reason to stay in an LTR?

If kids is the only reason to get married then how can I possibly do it without getting married or child support raped and emotionally violated? Is it what this sub is really about deep down? No one can get around the fact than to have kids you kinda have to be in an LTR?
