Stories of marital bliss.

A friend of mine met this girl in college and married her like an idiot.

Their relationship seemed to mostly be fighting and passive-aggressive shit against each other, and I'd been advising him for years to get out now, because it's never going to get better, clued him in how she was emotionally abusing him, etc.

We'd go out drinking, watch the game, that kind of thing and she'd call up the bar and nag his ass because she turned his phone off because she would call every 5 minutes to bitch at him for the crime of being out drinking with Satan (me).

So their marriage is on the rocks, and hopefully they would get a divorce and find better partners.

So of course what happens? She gets pregnant. Now he's got a boot on his proverbial car, and won't be able to go anywhere.

I went to a party they were having with this girl I was dating, and she was talking to her in the kitchen, and she (his wife) let it be known that she had quietly gone off birth control to "save the marriage".

Great logic eh? Sperm jacked by your own wife.

If you're even thinking of leaving a relationship/marriage, the absolutely first thing you do is cut off sex. It is a guarantee shit will go south, when she decides to "help" the relationship because rationality and common sense goes right out the window.

So they have this kid now and another on the way. Of course they sleep in separate bedrooms and the excuse is "daddy snores".

He turned to alcohol and got busted soliciting prostitutes. He's in AA now, so I hope that helps.

But at least a marriage was saved, so now everyone is equally miserable.

His brother got married as well, to this stoner chick he was dating. Seemed pretty useless to me, but then I'm just some incel or whatever I'm called this week. He also got divorced. His method was to drain all the accounts, spent $34k on prostitutes, strippers, blow, and other wastes of time over two months. He then files when there's no money to grab and had protected himself. An asshole move to be sure, but that's how divorce court works now.
