Damn! What's up with all these unhappily married men?! Not to diss you guys but if your relationship doesnt' work out, doesn't mean his won't. Also, I challenge some assumptions that are being made here:
1) Your sex life will go to hell. Who told you that? There are actually married couple's whose sex life get better through the years. Hell, maybe you guys need some tantric sex videos. Or, perhaps you need more open minded wives. Your wife should be as interested in pleasing you physically as you (I hope) are for her.
Get her some books to read, watch videos, role play, ask her to meet you at work for a mid day "snack" (wink.....)
Don't brain wash the guy into thinking his sex life is going to suck. If that doesnt work, do some kind of meditation or something...
2) You won't have fun anymore - huh?! Your wife should be your best friend. Did you have a LIST when you were looking for a partner? Yes I mean an actual physical list. I know I had mine!!
If video games, beer (light for the ladies, lol), gliders and rugby were your thing, perhaps you should have only "entertained" women who liked those things. Yes there are women who enjoy all those things - and look fucking hot in high heels doing it
4) Morals/Character. All this talk about "money". First of all, it's as easy to love a rich man as it is to love a poor one. What's wrong with a woman who wants a guy who is financial successful? Once again, if you did your "research" you'd look for a woman that had both character AND ambition.
A woman with good character isn't going to NOT spend whatever resources you have JUDICIOUSLY. I personally wouldn't blow $25k on some Manolos and Jimmy Choos or a Birkin bag even though I know my man wouldn't mind.
However, I recognize if I helped him meet some quarterly goals, not only would his income increase and he'd be happier, I could have those toys too!
LOL
In other words, the right ambitious woman combined with morals and good character to send your net worth from $XXX,XXX to $XX, XXX,X,XXX and beyond!
So please stop giving this guy a hard time.
Lastly, one thing you may want to invest in before the wedding is pre-marital counseling.
Alot of people don't ask themselves important questions until AFTER they get married. Such as:
Am I a largely traditional man or liberal - do I expect my lady to change once we get married?
How do I feel about child rearing, spanking for instance?
Do I want to live abroad or not and what about her?
Do I want a non-conventional marriage or not? (ex. some couples purposely take breaks from each other, let's say one goes off to take a class or something 3 months a year so both can enjoy their alone time...)
These are just my IMHO's. But I was hoping the guy heard the feminine perspective so he doesn't get cold feet!!!!
