Reason I ask this question is. Females always want to find that special someone to spend the rest of their life with. I never really hear of males saying that they're looking for that female they want to spend their whole life with. I think it's pressure coming from the female onto the guy and media and society, politics, etc. saying you should get married to a female. World tradition. I've been married and still am married but I feel like I was pressured into it. Too soon at that. Then when you do get married the intimacy slows down because they feel like they(women) got you and they don't have to be as intimate anymore. Excuses: like I'm tired, I've been working all day, I can't because of the kids right now, I have to clean up the house, etc. Marriage is a bad thing for guys don't do it if you're thinking about it. Marriage is something for females benefit and not ours (males). It's the truth. Tell me honestly what does the male benefit from marriage?

If you don't want to get married don't. No-one can truly force you. Women don't put a gun to your head to sign the marriage certificate or said I DO or to sign the marriage license. If you don't want to get married don't.
Plus most the time the man is the one who proposes. So if a men don't want to get married why do they ask????

You definitly were not ready for marriage you sound like a teenage boy. What do you do for a living, I'm sure it's not running a household while taking care of the kids. That is equivalent to 2 full time jobs - statistically.
There are many men who are looking forward to a marriage and spending their time with the woman they love, they just don't go around expressing that to their male friends, because MEN put pressure on each other to NOT get married.
Rethink your situation, it is not that bad. You are lucky that you found someone who married you and is willing to spend the rest of their life with someone so ungrateful.

Sorry that you feel this way, but I think marriage gives children more stability and support. People that are married are less stressed, maybe having a stable home makes stress easier to deal with. You have a support system, at the end of the day your not alone, you know that there's someone to help you, care about you. Marriage is a commitment by both the man and woman which shows they can give a part of themselves. Marriage shows you how to share, not only materialistic, but emotionally, caring, love for more than yourself. And marriage is work, but open communication is so important and makes it worth it in the end.

Tell me honestly how does the female benefit?? She gets a husband? BIG DEAL.
Most women when they marry still have to work full time...then they have to care for Home, Husband AND ANY children that come around.
No, I myself am not married. Because marriage is HARDER FOR WOMEN.
Besides, I would be stuck with the SAME GUY FOREVER...........see? We women look at it the SAME WAY GUYS DO!

I chose marriage in order to accomplish specific goals, not because of pressure from society or anyone or anything. The goals in question have been realized, and I've got a good thing going.

Companionship, a partner in life, support, intimacy, someone who cares about them. All the usual stuff. If you're not getting this from your wife, you married the wrong woman. It's not marriage that's the problem here, it's YOUR marriage.

The big running joke in my hubby's family is that he married me because his mom and sister refused to cook for him anymore!
My husband wanted to marry me and here we are approaching our 10th anniv. We have two sons, I clean the house, care for the boys, do all grocery shopping and cooking, I handle all aspects of all holidays, I grow the garden, and whatever he wants at night he gets; not always that night, but by the next night at the latest. In return he does all the lawn, car and house-fixit upkeep, works his 50 hour week at a job he loves, and gives me what I want at night. I'm sorry you're in a bad situation; work at it to fix it and good luck.
