While I do agree with most of the information that was presented, alot of it seemed purely circumstantial in the sense that it also depends on what "phase" the spouses are at. Everyone is different in this regard. Also, it's important to remember that most marriages end in divorce. When speaking about "phases", let's use my dumbass and nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn as examples: I didn't consider settling down until about two years ago and Michael here met his soul mate very early on. Therefore he was granted the maturity that comes with marriage at a much earlier point in time than me. 😒 Even though I have a fair amount of wealth and good looks, it's still very easy to attract the "crazies". Lol. Not sure what that says about me. Ok now I'm just rambling. 🤷♂️ nostr:npub1wqfzz2p880wq0tumuae9lfwyhs8uz35xd0kr34zrvrwyh3kvrzuskcqsyn you lucky son of a bitch!

The point behind my rant was that while my stupid ass was so damn cocky about so many things for such a long time, Michael instinctually realized early on that he found "the one". So, while my fixation was on sleeping around with the most slammin' women I encountered, I probably wouldn't consider them as attractive as I did during my first encounter. Why? Because none of them had high income and had very low self-confidence and self-esteem. The last two reasons led to them being very clingy and overly dependent in certain ways. But... lol. #LifeIsAJourney right? 😅🤷♂️
Yeah my wife and I both had the same goals: we wanted to marry for life and raise a family. That oriented our dating from the get-go.
