I’m getting married in 40 days and I don’t know if I can go through with it.

RPNorvell · 2019-12-30T08:15:41+00:00

Don't be an idiot. Do not marry. Do not live together. You're 23 and already posting in dead bedrooms. You guys shouldn't be able to keep your hands off of each other. Eject.

RedLegendx · 2019-12-30T06:06:40+00:00

You’re fucked if you don’t leave now, you think it’s bad now lol wait till you’re actually married, you’re gonna want to blow your brains out (don’t).

Start planning something now, you need an exit route ASAP, DO NOT GET MARRIED.

Dilduo · 2019-12-30T05:49:10+00:00

Your not happy

Your sex life wont ever get better

Getting married wont magically change anything.

You daughter wont remember shit about her

Just leave if your not happy

Ya fucked up by living with her. Never live above your means. If you cant afford where you live, move.

ziphias · 2019-12-30T06:44:42+00:00

As a man who also knocked up a woman and married her while I was in the military, please just don't. You will look back and regret this decision and waste your twenties. Mine lied about birth control and I got her pregnant more than once. Please don't do it man. PM me if you need someone to talk to.

“A life that is lived with fullness of peace of mind, contentment, and happiness always divests itself of everything it does not want. Anyone who submits to annoyance by things he does not want is not definite. He is a drifter.” - Napoleon Hill’s Devil

Things aren't going to get better. Only much worse. Don't get married. That's the biggest mistake you can make.

kdsflyfree · 2019-12-30T06:07:48+00:00

Whatever you do, don't get married.

I assume your daughter's mother is worthless or she'd have custody. Any other trusted relatives in the picture who could take care of your daughter temporarily while you sort things out with your living situation?

If "affection from her is slim," then she is probably as tentative about the marriage as you are.

You should be direct with her--"We lost the passion since we got engaged--this is a super red flag--it's dumb to get married when we feel this lukewarm about each other--you deserve better." The objective would be to buy some time by breaking the engagement but continuing to live with her until you can relocate to cheaper digs or out of state and/or find a better job.

Good luck.

At the VERY LEAST just hit pause for 6-12 months. It doesn’t matter what anyone’s expectations are. This is your life and yours alone. You are not obligated to marry anyone under any circumstances.

I dunno man. At least reply to some comments so we know we're not wasting our time.

Fuck that bitch. Seriously. I read your post on dead bedrooms, and she says 'she can live without it'?

Marriage is RedPill on hard mode, and you'd be starting it with life drained to .001%.

Either get out...or be prepared to study everything about RedPill and dreadgame.

You are getting NOTHING in return.

toughenup2016 · 2019-12-30T08:54:21+00:00

DO. NOT. GET. MARRIED.

You know what you need to do, it's obvious in what you wrote.

Thank god she showed you her true colors now and not when it's too late. Call it off, back away, tell her you need more time, and start to demote her to just another girl you're seeing.

Making a permanent commitment because of your temporary circumstances is something you will regret for a long time. Move back with your parents if you have to, anything but this.

Imagine you're 63 and have been in a sexless/loveless marriage for 40 years hoping one day that it might improve.

Check out the deadbedrooms subreddit for a preview of your life if you get married to this woman.

You're lucky she flipped to wife mode and showed her true colors before you tied the knot. She made a strategic mistake...in your favor. Thank your lucky stars and run while you are legally free.

bakachelera · 2019-12-30T07:42:00+00:00

Do not get married bro.

You already know the answer. It's not gonna get any better after the marriage.

Don’t marry a woman that’s not putting out man. Stay with her and stash some money on the side until you have enough to move out. Then dump her and move, your child will be fine without ever seeing her again.

Jaganshi93 · 2019-12-30T10:19:18+00:00

Don't do it my friend. Leave her. And in the future don't mix your relationship with your daughter. She doesn't need a bitch. She needs a strong father figure.

CainPrice · 2019-12-30T15:36:42+00:00

Why would you tie your finances to a woman who doesn't fuck you, show affection, or treat you well?

She's not a wife, she's a roommate.

Fuck. It's California. If you want to pay the exorbitant price of half of everything you own for a roommate, I'll marry you and not fuck you. Hell, I'll do it for a third of your shit.

vermisa · 2019-12-30T08:09:16+00:00

This sounds like those stories where beta bucks finds a single mom who fucks like a porn star, gets married in less than a year, then instant dead bedroom because now that she's secured him she can go find alpha fucks.

While you're situation is different you have to ask why the sudden dead bedroom

drunkPKMNtrainer · 2019-12-30T08:17:28+00:00

Well, most likely you won't be happy but maybe your daughter will. But this page is about you and you can also provide a good life for your daughter by yourself. You can find a way.

theUnBannableHulk · 2019-12-30T08:18:05+00:00

She’s shown her true colors note that she’s locked you down.

Losing custody of your daughter and half your shit and getting cheated on is not worth it and all the red flags are there.

Stop making excuses, and stop fucking up your life, California is fucked up take your daughter and move out. go to Vegas for a start it is cheap as hell.

You are lucky that she showed her character now. do not fuck up your life. Do not marry her.

TFWnoLTR · 2019-12-30T14:28:47+00:00

Just piling on here in the hopes I can help motivate you out of the marriage.

I was lied to about birth control use and ended up knocking this girl up a few years back. My social life and cultural upbringing pushed me to try and make the best of it and move in with her and build a life together. After a couple years I realized I didn't want to be tied down at all and I was getting more miserable and unhappy with the situation but just burying it deep inside because I believed I had to for my son. I cheated on her, several times. I guess I thought it would release some of the pressure but it didn't.

Then one day she started telling everyone we were getting married. I hadn't even bought her a ring. Within a few weeks I told her about the cheating and it was over. The breakup was a disaster and got really nasty and I damn near killed myself over it.

It's been almost three years since the breakup and in hindsight it was the best decision of my adult life. I'm so much better off not being stuck with that manipulative bitch, even if I only get my son half the time. There are so many other women out there. You're sure to find many who are better suited to make you happy, even if only in the short term.

Don't fucking do it. Just hit the red button and burn the bridge. The short term pain of the breakup is nothing compared to the long term pain of an inevitable divorce.

modern_soma · 2019-12-30T06:36:03+00:00

Hey buddy that post-proposal treatment from her is just a quick glimpse into what marriage will be like. Best of luck!

I wouldn't marry her, but if you enjoy her presence then keep her around. Beware of common law marriage.

Kniit · 2019-12-30T08:14:15+00:00

Talk to her about what wrong with the relationship. If she can't change/fix things then you have no other option. Simple.

IATAsshole · 2019-12-30T08:47:38+00:00

Your daughter has built a tight bond with her so you should live in an affectionless, sexless marriage until she’s had enough of your beta ass and divorce rapes you for the little you have.

Sounds like a plan!

SaharaFatCat · 2019-12-30T09:59:01+00:00

You're a young soldier. Do not get married. You have a kid and will get at least BAH differential. That will go towards your child support. Worst case you can get it the barracks.

Your plt Sgt/ 1sg or buddies will help you out while you get sorted.

You're only on the hook for child support... You get married and you will owe way more to include alimony and part of your pension if you make it to 20 years. It's on her to find her own place if she wants to take the kid.

Edit: just realized you had the kid before this woman. Advice is the same.... Do not get married.

oldslut · 2019-12-30T10:27:46+00:00

temerity18 · 2019-12-30T10:32:30+00:00

Get DNA test. Have the CA judicial system force the mother to pay child support if it is yours. Have her thrown in jail if she is a deadbeat mom. DO NOT GET MARRIED. Move back in with your parents if you have to. There are cheaper states than CA. Sort out your finances. Single moms can be stay at home moms financed by the state. No reason single dads cannot do likewise.

generic-affliction · 2019-12-30T10:35:30+00:00

Get married bro! So you can come back and post on reddit how you regret getting married and how bad the divorce rape was and how you got put in jail on false charges and how the state took your kid. Because that story of your wrecked life will help someone else out because we all know you ain’t going to listen to sound advice.

marcus8crassus · 2019-12-30T11:16:34+00:00

The worst decision is failing to honor what you know to be true. If you carry forward, you will not only become increasingly miserable, you will come to hate yourself for living in regret. You’re 23, call off the marriage. She isn’t the mother to your little girl, rip the bandaid off and begin the healing process.

Note: despite how close you are to totally fucking up your future, you had the foresight to ask for help before it’s too late. Grab the lifeline from us and save yourself and your daughter from drowning.

EvelynnSpoiler · 2019-12-30T14:13:19+00:00

PhaedrusHunt · 2019-12-30T16:03:42+00:00

Listen dude. I got married at 23 to a chick I had doubts with. Mistake. Luckily I ended things pretty quickly (it was never a dead bedroom, she was a nymphomaniac which is a different type of problem-- you think you want a nympho until you have one).

Knocked up a woman a couple years later. Did what I could, doing the right thing the best way I knew how. Never technically married but 11 years and 2 kids. Thing is, I didn't really like her. We wound up hating each other, both probably with good reason. Dead bedroom, but basically because she repulsed me and most of the time I'd rather jerk off than fuck her. I finally bailed.

Hit my stride, spun plates, had a couple relationships, and met the woman that eventually I wanted to drop my other plates for. Married her. Still married. Enjoying my present and looking forward to the future. No dead bedroom situation I promise.

Look, you have to WANT to marry the woman you marry (if you ever even do that). If you don't REALLY LIKE HER AND WANT TO SPEND A HELL OF A LOT OF TIME WITH HER, don't fucking marry her.

Re her relationship with your kid: that's your fault buddy. You didn't control frame.

Don't bitch about money. Do something about it. You're in the military. Have some self reliance. Learn something about leadership. You're not leading your chick, your daughter, yourself. You can, but you have to start.

Jocko in Extreme Ownership: PRIORITIZE AND EXECUTE

Relax, look around, make a call

You're WAAAYYYY in her frame. Probably too late to get her back in yours. I'm not going to give you specific advice just get your head on straight and lead your own life and make your own decisions the way that it actually makes sense.

Also don't fucking marry someone you don't want to fucking marry my dude

Zero-Milk · 2019-12-30T08:28:35+00:00

I would tell you not to marry, especially if the relationship isn't fulfilling to you, but I get the feeling you'd ignore the advice. This is a lesson I fear you're probably going to wind up learning on your own after years of stress and resentment, both of which will cause you to age more rapidly.

I pray that you'll consider your own needs one more time before you commit to this decision.

amphix339 · 2019-12-30T08:47:15+00:00

You marry this chick you WILL be divorced raped within 3 years or less. Hell she may even decide to take YOUR daughter from you just to stick the knife in a little deeper. You live in Cali which is the MOST liberal state in the country and the courts ALWAYS favor the women unless you have proof (video/audio evidence) of drug use, stealing, and more. If you have any family you can turn to NOW IS THE TIME. Once out of there form a plan to improve your situation which in turn WILL improve your daughters life. If you are not a hardcore stem guy then don't bother with a 4 year school but go to a community college that offers VALUABLE trade degrees. Pumping, HVAC, network security, and others MAKE BANK. Also YOUR daughter will NOT remember this chick at all. Trust me in the back of your girlfriends mind is well its not my kid and if you go through with this and then get her pregnant..... Oh you and your daughter are in for a world of pain and misery as she WILL focus on HER blood child and come to see YOUR daughter as a THREAT to HER offspring. Its literally programed into the primal part of her brain to act that way. Please for your daughter and yours safety, mental health, and future DO NOT MARRY this chick. Turn to YOUR family and call them TODAY!

I'd rather be homeless than in your situation.No hope for you op, its harsh but true

AncientDragons · 2019-12-30T13:35:48+00:00

Here’s some words of encouragement: take no further steps to burden yourself with ANY additional responsibilities until you can support yourself and your daughter on your own.

Do not marry this woman if the relationship isn’t feeling right. Do not marry this woman out of a sense of obligation or desperation. Get your feet under you. Your daughter needs you to be able to support your lives on your own right now.

Do you have family or friends you can lean on at this time? There is no shame in getting some backup from your family until you can figure your situation out. It’s not easy being a single father, but I guarantee you going through a divorce because you married needlessly is only going to make it worse for you.

Dumbusernamerules · 2019-12-30T13:45:57+00:00

It’s better for your child to have your fiancé leave now vs. later. A two year old will forget with a little time. A ten year old won’t.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that you will regret marrying her. You will.

you can find a roommate in a similar situation, or you can rent a smaller simple studio if you need to. I lived in a 400 square-foot studio apartment with my newborn son for four years, because it's all I could afford.

covertpenguin3390 · 2019-12-30T18:56:12+00:00

Had you said 9-12 months, i would say improve yourself and see if you can fix the dead bedroom by not being a cuck like you have been. My guess is that inadvertently you dried up her vag in some way. While this problem can be fixed, though only by some, you have no chance of fixing it in forty days. And once you get married it’ll get even worse and your lack of results will just leave you continuing down the path that dried out the pussy in the first place.

Im about to get married in the next four months and my girl still sexts me and literally fantasizes about sucking my dick. And even Im super unsure about being married. Now look at you, you’ve become a dependa (as a fellow military guy, you should know this term) and you don’t even get sex.

You probably are too big of a pussy to take our advice but at a minimum postpone the marriage for at least a year. Get your finances in order. Stop being poor, not for your sugar momma but for your fucking kid. If she turns it around then maybe try again but i know she won’t since you’re probably too exhausted raising a 2 year old to put in the work it’ll take to flip this bitch around but at least you can eject with just some hard feelings that’ll go away in a few months.

Or you can marry her and not have sex for the duration of your 20s after you’ve probably only banged 2-3 girls prior to her in the first place. Hopefully that’s not the life you want, but if you get married in forty days it’ll be the life you get to enjoy. And then she’ll steal your daughter from you during the divorce rape after she didn’t suck your dick for 8 years.

I would say good luck, but you don’t really need any, you just to grow a pair and own up to the two paths ahead of you. There’s the easy wrong and the hard right. It’s your call to make.

Gawernator · 2019-12-30T19:19:21+00:00

Are you in the military? I wouldn’t recommend being married. And with this girl, obviously don’t go through with it. She’s not the one

Intentional69 · 2019-12-30T19:44:37+00:00

Yea it stopped because in her head she "already won" now there is no competition for her anymore. You are 23 w/ kid. You literally just started life on Hard Mode. You shouldn't be thinking about getting married until you REALLY GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER. And even then don't marry, any hopes of finding a unicorn with a sense of traditional Marriage is dead. That does not exist anymore. Take care of you and your kid.

Getting married is a good way to lead to a life of depression and anxiety if its to the wrong person. Leave asap and you need to do it sooner rather than later because if you feel that the relationship is dwindling now its gonna be even worse when its official

linkofinsanity19 · 2019-12-30T20:41:25+00:00

You came for advice, here's what I'd do. This is assuming you stay with her. The alternative is to leave her and figure out the rest of your life. Every man should have the capability to live on his own. Kids make that harder, but not impossible. Also, the fact that things got worse after the proposal should be a major red flag to you. It's not you she wanted most likely. At least you're not the primary objective.

Don't go through with the marriage. If you think it's possible this woman has real potential, still don't get married. Especially not in fucking California of all places. Tell her you don't want to do the wedding but do still want to be with her. She will ask why. Your response to that question is up to you but here are some options.

A. Tell her you no longer want to get the state involved in your relationship and don't need the state's permission.

B. Tell her you need to figure out why or that the loss of passion in the relationship is a sign marriage is not in the cards, but you're certain marriage right now would be a mistake. Yeah, you want to stay with her but you think marriage is not what you guys need right now.

If you tell her and she leaves, she wanted the marriage, not you brother. Keep that in mind.

Get your financial life in order to be able to live on your own and you should honestly probably move the fuck out. Common law marriage is a thing you should be worried about. If you have to, see if you can't get child support payments from the biological mom. Probably won't happen, but worth a shot.
Read the 12 Steps of Dread over at MRP, and maybe a few other posts. That would give you some good insight into the possibilities of the future.

So....you've already asked a few othet subs about this and you got similar responses.

You keep asking the same thing, expecting different answers, maybe answers that tries to justify you going ahead and marrying her. "Words of encouragement".

Wake up n smell the grass, facing reality does not mean you getting some "wisdom" that will help you "cope" with what you are going to go ahead n do neways. It sounds to me like you are looking for a specific answer, an answer that will make you feel okay to go ahead n marry, then turn things around. "tis k bro, you are doing this for your daughter go ahead n take a bullet. You the man, you will come out okay from this marriage, you will turn things around".

Tough luck soldier, you asked the wrong sub to cushion your inevitable blow.

First I thought you literally had nowhere to go, to move away from this marriage. But looks like your dad n sis are in good terms. Looks like you are just way to dependent on this future wife of yours.

Dunno how to put this exactly, but you got the hard way, and the harder way. Your choice. Hindsight 2020

Brides smile so big when they eat wedding cake because it's the moment she can start to get fat and knows she won't be sucking dick again unless it's your birthday

Terrible call. It may be seem comfortable since your already living with each other but it sounds like a toxic relationship that could get worse as it goes along.

Take some time to reflect and see what you have all these doubts and reservations. I chose to silence them before getting married and a couple years later saw me finishing up a divorce.

Be honest with yourself and develop more before making a decision like that. Do it for your kid at least.

You gotta be prepared to take that L of calling shit off. If not you'll be miserable more than you are now and she'll leave you high and dry

Your turn has ran its course. Time to move on.

Use the side bar on married red pill to fix you.

Don't marry. This is a no-brainer.

The only reason you've given for getting married is you think she will help you afford living expenses. This is a pretty shitty reason, especially for a dude, b/c if she doesn't repsect you (which she obviously doesn't), SHE WILL BE A NET DRAIN ON YOUR MONEY. Even if she's rich.

And when (not if) you get divorced, she will make out better (even though you are the single dad) b/c the courts will likely favor her. I can tell you don't have the money for a good divorce lawyer.

If she doesn't respect you, she WILL NOT treat your kid well, she may even be abusive. "Bond has been formed"? She's only 2, she won't even have any memories of that age later on.

And even if she were a net financial contributor, you will be MUCH HAPPIER living in a smaller place as a single dad than in a slightly bigger place shared with someone you hate.

If you feel social pressure from parents, etc. to get married, then you need to have a serious talk with your parents and explain why you are calling off the wedding.

If you have to stay in CA b/c of work, figure out what the other military guys in your town do to make it work. But if you can move, probably do, CA is wildly overpriced.

If you're having serious doubts, extricate yourself before tying the knot.

Looking at your posts and since you’re posting pics of yourself...

Break up with her dude. You’re posting in dead bedrooms and she admits she doesn’t want to fuck you anymore. You clearly have not internalized the sidebar. Also you’re in the military so fucking look like it and lift some weights.

I get it’s scary to move. Do you have family that lives somewhere else you can ask to stay with? Get out now.

AztecNorthSider · 2019-12-31T02:19:30+00:00

You're way too young to be married. Don't. I'm 44 and never been married. Been in a lot of relationships and will tell you that being single is the best way to go. Too much bullshit that comes in with it. Nothing beats peace and quiet.
