If I may pontificate: Marriage should always be a friendly compromise. If one side is always giving into the other, you can guess that the one who is giving up what they want will be unhappy. I pity those who didn't take the time to properly get to know their wives and married them simply because "oh, she's hot." When you see these "best wife ever" posts and pictures, its because she knows this as well as anyone else: Marriage is a partnership. You may not get what you want 100% of the time, but if you can keep it at a solid 50%, everyone will end up happy.
True when my grandparents were married, and true today. |
I agree with what you're saying. However, on the point of marrying "bitches," the sad truth is that many women slowly transmigrate into bitchiness. The flare and romance of marriage wears off and then you really see them begin to grow more resentment and even bitterness.
Alternatively though, sometimes the woman is just sick of the messes and money-stealing nature of the car hobby. As easy as it may be for us to come to terms with the fact of expenses involving our passion, women don't tend to see it the same way.
