"When do I get to be happy?"  This is a question a once close coworker/friend asked me when she decided to leave her very good, committed husband. Women who chase "happiness", manage to catch it, have twins, get a house, some promotions, then proceeds to fall back into not being happy. The sentence is very telling to me. Each word is loaded. "When"...as if she hadn't been happy and is entitled to happines. "Do I"....self-centered. "Get"...like happiness is commodity, something to be taken off a shelf. "To be"...a constant state of flux, language used when one feels something is missing. "Happy"...as if happiness is the goal. Men know happiness, like sorrow, is meant to be temporary, they are feelings that are fleeting and meant to teach. The goal is contentment, which men try to attain and live in, while women chase happiness all of their lives. She might as well said something equally ridiculous like, "When do I get to be sad?"

A big part of their problem is the fact that they feel the need to broadcast every feeling, and air every item of their dirty laundry on TikTok, rather than share real intimacy. No humility, only a constant need for validation from their audience of strangers, in order to have a 'fan base'. Relationships are not meant to be treated like a reality show, to provide content for your social media account. Zero shame, just 'lights, camera, action'.

The marriage to my wife was the best part of my life. She was the greatest adventure I have ever had. We lived by Proverbs 31, 11-12, and it was our cheat codes to the Matrix. We spent decades contemplating the universe together. She just passed away in August. It's impossible to ever replace what took those decades to build.  I just don't have enough time left. I told her I would build her the garden of Eden and now I am sitting on a 17acre self-sufficient island farm alone. She is buried on our island. I see her grave every day until the day comes that  I am in it with her.

Starting over is tough. What I've found is that it isn't tough if you don't start over. Don't do it again. It's quite easy if you're well-centered, comfortable in your own skin, overcome any barriers with comfort zones and explore the world on your own, and appreciate solitude and the contentment it brings.

Marriage is not hard or complicated. It's the easiest thing in the world. I'm a 60 year old man and have been married to my wife for 27 years. She is my best friend. Everyday we tell each other, I love you. I talk to her everyday. Yah some days are stressful but I don't put that on her. We have three children and four grandchildren. The key is let nothing deter your faithfulness.
Also my wife never says the words, I feel like. She knows.

Ex husband(s) cried, when their wives left, and thry were finally granted peace.

For the Brit lady @11:26 : There's no dilemma, your highness, he's not running back to you. IF he's got any "bloody" sense in his brain, so, Jolly good show!

What happened to love until death, in sickness and health?  These women are immature babies, guy’s don’t marry them, cut and run before it costs you everything!

Societal Media sold women lies since the 80's and the liberal media still does.  "You don't need a man"  "Screw Him!"  20 years of marriage and she leaves because she's bored?  If money was the answer, all of Hollywood would still be married.  Put God 1st and follow his path, find joy, not another new car.

I know a lot of these women have been lost to God most if not all of their lives, but man none of them bring up their vows even once. Was the marriage solely about the cost of the gown and size of the cake?

Women just suck so emotional

Dude!  At 52 you should NOT have kids at the age where you still split custody!  At 52, your kids should be 20 or 30 years younger than you, basically grown adults! 😂
