06.11.10 | You guys should waltz to The Weight at your wedding. That'd be badass. |
BigHans
06.11.10 | Want to know why the first year is hell? Because its a power struggle, a war. What usually happens is the dude eventually gives in and becomes a shell of himself, and totally whipped, making the woman happy. This is referred to as the modern marriage.
I refused to give in, thus had 5 years of hell, before I finally ended it. Bottom line, in most cases nowadays, unless you are ok with having your balls permeanently removed, marriage is hell.
End rant. |
buckfutter
06.11.10 | I've been married for six years and never really had a power struggle(not kidding at all). It hasn't been all peaches and cream(trying to fit into the midwest), but it's been an amazing 6 years |
SeaAnemone
06.11.10 | there's been a lot of talk about girls on Sputnik lately.
there's a lot of truth about to enter the thread, courtesy of SeaAnemone, you ready?
here:
Some girls are different than other girls. Stop generalizing. Just because some chick cut off your balls probably means you chose the wrong one. Yes, I'm sure you're still bitter and plan on taking your hatred out on half of the human race, but believe it or not there's a lot of quality homosapiens out there with vaginas. Just because Sputnik is 99% guys and it's easier to bitch about girls in here doesn't mean you're free to make bogus generalizations. truth. has. been. told. |

06.11.10 | I would totally agree with eric if i hadn't had my balls metaphorically torn off by a female |
Apollo
06.11.10 | harsh words SeaAnemone.
Some truth to both sides tbh. First year is somewhat of a power struggle like you said Hans, but for me, my 2nd year has been a lot better. More peaceful and balanced.
It totally does depend on the girl.
That being said, most my friends are whipped and cant go for a beer anymore on a weeknight. The only time they have a guys night is a bachelor party or the occasional night out (maybe once a month).
Like I said, some truth on both sides of this argument. |
SeaAnemone
06.11.10 | sorry Slightly : ( sometimes it's the guys' fault and sometimes it happens to the best of men, it seems : ( |
buckfutter
06.11.10 | I didn't have any friends before I got married.
At least that's what my wife told me |

06.11.10 | congrats bro and Lol @ ball's comment. |
BigHans
06.11.10 | Sea, Its not just me, I know many, many people that have suffered the same fate. Believe me, when I was your age I thought the same as you. I pray you don't have the same experience. I'm just here to warn Sputnikers that if their girlfriend starts to get more controlling, standoffish, and mouthy as the relationship progresses, run like hell, because it will keep getting worse. |
SlightlyEpic
06.11.10 | my girlfriend was awesome, if anything i was the one getting progressively more 'controlling, standoffish and mouthy'
does this make me female |
SeaAnemone
06.11.10 | haha Hans... fair, as I know you have much more experience than I do--- but my girl and I have had many conversations about that actually; if she ever gets all bitchy and controlling (ahem, her mother) then I have every right to leave her... but I'm there also to MAKE SURE she doesn't get that way. She WANTS me to call her out for being bitchy, so I do, and she's always been very understanding... neither of us want her to be like that, so she tries her best to stray away from it and I do my best to call her out when she is a bitch--- in the two years together she's been amazing at being able to accept my input and try to change accordingly. |
Apollo
06.11.10 | thats a hell of a girl right there ^
hold on to her |
BigHans
06.11.10 | Well, then youre the lucky one Sea, hope that never changes.
Heres some truth to all of you college dudes. Women are much cooler in college, because like us, they still care about gettign laid and partying. Once the "real world" happens, they change dramatically and quickly. All of a sudden the party is over, their biological clocks start kicking in, and they will often become their mothers/aunts, other women of influnece in their lives, who by the way are often women who have their husbands so fucking whipped he couldnt find his dick with the Hubble telescope. Just be warned, they change once they have you locked in. Its the fucking truth. |
SeaAnemone
06.11.10 | like yeah, just a few days ago she was PMS-ing and kinda being a bitch to me while I was at poker night with the guys--- and all I had to do was give her a few texts to remind her that, as much as I love her, I didn't deserve to be the victim of her bitching, and she totally agreed, let me go... I called her later and we were totally cool, better even. |
BigHans
06.11.10 | An example of what Im talking about. My ex wife was a control freak to the nth degree. Whenever other people were around, she would amp up her theatrics in terms of trying to boss me around, because she wanted everybody to think she ran the fucking roost. It was horrible.
One of the main reasons she was this way was her grandmother was the most domineering, controlling person I have ever seen. PROOF? HER GRANDFATHER HAS TO SIT DOWN TO TAKE A PISS INSTEAD OF STANDING BECAUSE SHE ORDERED IT. I am not kidding. Thus, my ex wife thought thats how things are supposed to be, women run their men.
Fellas, some men run their houses, some men run around the house. When your time comes, you best choose wisely. |
buckfutter
06.11.10 | Whipped isn't a fact, it's a state of mind. If someone is pussy whipped, that's their own fault for finding the one female that could get that control over them. On the other side, though, it's really your choice to let them control you. You can prevent that shit by finding the one that pisses you off the least and doesn't seem to mind you having fun as long as she is |
Apollo
06.11.10 | I sure as hell run my household. Well see how much that changes 5 years from now haha.
As one comedian put it: You can be right, or you can be happy. |

06.11.10 | when did the majority of the sputnik population become either married or engaged anyhow |
SeaAnemone
06.11.10 | Sputnik's growing up : ' )
Chan got engaged a little bit ago, too.
but yeah, it's time for me to go so I can keep working on my 100th review.

yeah, pretty much this. I was with a girl for three years that wanted to marry me but she was already turning into exactly what Hans described and I had to end it. Wasn't pretty, and was quite emotionally damaging for both of us bc I don't think either of us was ready to see other people, but it had to happen.
When I first moved in with my fiancee she began to develop similar tendencies. So, I went on a spree where I did whatever the fuck I wanted (and even went out with my homies sometimes when I didn't want to, just to prove a point) without consulting her whatsoever. Once she realized how much better our relationship was when we were both willing to compromise there were no more problems. Now we've been problem-free for over a year.
or maybe I just grew up and stopped spending all my money at bars. |

06.11.10 | yea i think pit won the thread with that gem.
and thanks BigHans, it definitely wasn't easy. she did a lot of crying, and some yelling too (though she's not much for anger usually, she uses sadness as her weapon of choice) but eventually our relationship was better off for it. |

wow BigHans sounds like you had a bad experience but really, marriage is what you make it Deathcar and if you've been with this girl for 4 yrs you're probably making the right decision |
