Over 2000 comments on askreddit today on a thread about shit marriages. So much regret-hamstering. Lots of middle aged married guys believe they would never have "grown up" without their wives forcing them. Women are gatekeepers for sex and male maturity too, apparently.

Haha, I love her

Everything is going great.

Last week was our 10 years!

People just don't understand our love.

(Emphasis is mine. Best comment in that thread.)

Fuck, one of the commentors spelled out "HELP" and I fucking lost it and ended up having to explain what I was doing in my office instead of working ( because no matter how exciting the SQL, it's rarely worth laughing over ).

In that thread are men who fell for the emotional claptrap.

"Grown up" in this context means "gave up".

That thread depressed the hell out of me. It was either a sad tale of divorce or a betafied man clearly not in a 100% happy relationship hamstering. It really made me reflect on some of my previous relationships and what my life would look like now had it not failed.

shudder

[–]abqkat 21 points 6 hours ago Someone near and dear to me is going through with a "sunk cost engagement" wedding this year. He's said, multiple times in many ways, that he thinks he should call it off, that they don't have much in common, that he's not happy with her weight/ financial choices/ fundamental life-things... He just feels that it's too late now or something - they live together and got a dog and put money on their wedding and blablabla. It is beyond awkward to hang out with them - they don't even seem to like each other!! I don't get it, but it sounds like he's trying to make it work. We'll see.

WTF is this? If you think you've sunk costs into a "wedding" just wait until you're years in and she decides that it is time to "Eat, Pray, Love" and divorces you for whatever meager wealth you've amassed.

You say "sunk costs." I refer you to Kenny Rogers.

There's quite a few posts on guys taking back girls because the girl either gets suicidal or depressed, or they ride the carousel while the man is depressed then they jump his bones giving him porn star sex and he takes them back. Can someone please explain why women deal the suicide card when you leave? Is this legit or is it an act or is it a defense mechanism like crying and tantrums? If it's in act why do men fall for this?

That "i wouldn't have grown up without her" is complete bullshit.

Proof, I never married and grew up.
