I think I am prepared to be done with marriage. My wife does not worship me like I thought a man should be?

Question

I am ready to spend the rest of my life alone.

Do any of you ever reach this point in your lives?

I am 47 years old and been married 15 years and I have had enough. Can you relate?

Answer 1

yes
Find a nice secluded spot on the top of a mountain and live out your days in the wilderness alone, with the exception of the wildlife.
That's what you deserve expecting someone, anyone, to worship you.

Answer 2

No offense, but that attitude is so SELFISH! First , do you have kids in this marriage? If so, and they are still minors, you have a responsibility to them first. Because your wife doesn't "worship" you, is not a good enough reason not to try harder.Ask yourself what the real reason is for your feeling this way. Now, if you don't have kids. WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? And what exactly is your definition of worship? Most people don't understand the true meaning of relationship. I think that one should first be secure and whole within himself first. That would eliminate the need to be worshiped. Also, when the time comes to enter into relationship, and ultimately marriage, he or she should come prepared to GIVE. That is what love and marriage and togetherness is all about , giving. I hope you will take time to think about these comments. I know this concept may sound a little strange because this is a gimme, me , me world. Bottom line, you said in your question that you wanted to be done because your needs are being met. If that is the only reason, may I suggest that you try, for 30 days to give your wife exactly what you want from her. For example, you worship her. Try it and you just might find yourself feeling like a king! Really marriage is not to be taken lightly, if you love this lady, please try harder. I wish you all the very best.

This is the year 2007. If you want to go back to man-worshipping, then build a time-machine, get into it, and go back to the days of cave men. Then your woman will hunt your food, cook it, and serve it to you. And lay at your feet waiting for you to give her a good poking. Give me a break dude---I get that you're unhappy--and I'm sorry for that. But you just can't expect in this day and age to be 'worshipped.' If that is the idea that was in your head at the time of marriage, it's no wonder that you are miserable and that it did not meet your expectations.

Talk to all the married men around you, and ask how many of them feel 'worshipped.' They will laugh at you. I'm not being mean. I'm being serious. Your wife has probably had enough with you wanting to be treated like a god instead of a man, so do both of you a favor and head on up the road.

Answer 4

Worship you , no your not going to find anyone to worship you, we only worship one and that is God. Do you worship her , no you don't are you wouldn't be wanting out of your marriage. But if your getting a divorce and thinking you are going to find a woman that worships you , you better stay where you are, because I don't believe your going to ever get anyone to feel that way about you. Your 47 years old and not a young man anymore but like I always the woman gets older the man gets younger, but sometimes that mirror isn't adjusted just right . You better think before you go out and take the world with a storm, thinking your going to find a person like you want unless their 65 or 80 cause your looking in all the wrong places. Your getting up in the years unless your filthy rich forget it , stay with your wife , your day dreaming and day dreams don't come true.
Best Of Luck On Your Search.

Answer 5

Oh I know what is going on here you want to be worshiped right? But you think that your wife should be worshiping you I get it...
BUT YOU ARE WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You see your wife is your life partner and you have forgotten that. You sound like the type of man who thinks that your species rule!
WRONG AGAIN!!!!!
We are not like the ladies before our time we are strong independent women who know what we want when and who! We can do anything that a man could do and better!
If you want to be worshiped then go open a cult don't try getting that from your wife.
Baby two hands clap to make a sound not one...
So maybe since you are not a team player the you are better off alone so that your wife could find a real man.

Answer 6

Well, this is a very interesting question..as a matter of fact you are describing my husband exactly...and I am the one getting ready to leave after 24 years of this. I am the only fool here for putting up with it for this long. My husband doesn't have a clue that he will die a very lonely man one day, and most likely you will too....this is so sad. You guys better wake up !!! It's almost too late.

Answer 7

Last time I checked, people do not worship anyone but god. Since I am pretty sure he is not hanging out on Yahoo Answers, then you are not one who is to be worshiped.

Get over yourself, you are better off alone.

Answer 8

You worship God..not your husband. You love your husband and he should love you, you should do things for each other to show that you care but Worship? I think not. If you think you should be worshipped by your wife then she would be better off single anyway.

Answer 9

So your ready to spend the rest of your life alone. I say just do it. It'll be the best thing that could happen to your wife.

Answer 10

wow do you really have a screwed up vision of marriage...no one in a marriage should worship the other...marriage is a commitment to each other that you will love and honor them, not worship and do their every bidding...what are you? a sicko? or just lazy...maybe you should be alone with that attitude...if a man told me i should worship him id tell him he could shove it somewhere the sun dont shine!
