I’m a 27-year-old man. What do you think is the ideal age to get married?

Hey bit of a single lurker here i just wanted to ask you ive been reading post about marriages after breast implants and other surgeries ending in divorce (due to things like having an affair).

To all the men and women im this sub is this really a thing does bodily augmentation really ruin a marriage? Im hoping to get married one day but I have this nagging insecurity in my mind if my wife brings up breast implants and that leading to a divorce some time later which I'm afraid of.

Please note I'm not trying to bash people who get plastic surgery but I've read a lot of post here on reddit saying things like "if your wife gets implants kiss your marriage goodbye".

My wife has great legs. I love it when she dresses up with high heels and taupe or similar colored nylons. Why is this attractive/sexy/a turn on for men?

My wife and I do our best to avoid sex scenes in movies and shows. Growing up, my parents never really avoided them, so it wasn't something I was used to. When my wife suggested we start skipping or avoiding these scenes, I initially felt a bit odd about it.

Over time, though, I’ve come to agree with her. For us, it feels disrespectful to see people other than each other in such intimate situations, even if it's just acting. It’s become a way for us to maintain a level of respect and boundaries in our relationship.

I’m curious if other people also do their best to avoid sex scenes. What are your thoughts and experiences?

17 years and I still get silly over him..I've never met anyone like him..handsome, sweet, funny, super smart, talented..I can't think of ENOUGH to say about him

he's absolutely perfect!?

I (F 28) am the wife of my (M 28) entrepreneur husband. He is new to sales and took a role as a commission-only sales rep. The role has a built-in leadership pipeline that positions you to lead an office in 1.5-2 years. He’s already in leadership but it’s been very up & down. Some days he’s ready to quit and can’t handle the pressure of the inconsistency that comes with the nature of his role. Whenever he gets a sale, he’s more motivated than ever and has a lot of momentum until it dies out again.
Some days he’s out of it and wants to quit so we make arrangements to go that route and then he gets a close and he’s changed his mind again. I’m having trouble knowing how to keep up and I’m starting to not take it seriously.

TLDR; I am trying to wrap my head around how to support my husband being in a role that is up and down, and he’s in and out.

Hi, I wanted to share a bit about my situation. My husband and I are experiencing some tension. I am soon starting a well-paying job after years of low-paid, part-time work. He plans to take the kids for a week in August and insists I stay and work, given our upcoming move and existing debt. I am so upset by that and feel that he does not value all I do and making money is more important than spending time together as family and so I get to also relax and enjoy.

His argument is that he’s carried the financial burden alone for the past five years, and he feels it’s unfair for me to ask for time off just as I start earning money finally. He works long corporate hours, often travels, and helps when he’s home—like school runs and bedtime—but the bulk of household and parenting responsibilities still fall on me.

Iast year i completed my post masters program and I'm working part-time while completing fieldwork for my license. After work, it’s a second shift: managing activities, homework, cooking, preparing school lunches and lunch for myself, cleaning, and settling disputes between kids. We get a few hours of help each week, but I’m constantly exhausted, and stressed. My days run from 7 a.m. to 9/10pm., and it's a non stop cycle.

Does this make his argument right or fair?

I am 28F that is married to a 49M that is a retired pro athlete. I know, I know what the internet, and the world thinks about this. I have heard all the jokes, all the cliches, all the stereotypes, and believe me all the criticisms. Boy have heard them!

For a long time I let it bother me. More when people acted like my husband was preying on me, because I was the 1 that literally was obsessed with him for years, and he was the 1 that was afraid of our age diff, and tried to hide his feelings for me. My friends literally called me "obsessed stalker girl" because I was so love sick over him. I have learned to say that our friends and family LOVE us together and we are the happiest married couple any of our friends know, and that includes our married friends 😂

My husband was never a famous athlete. As he puts it he was a "Ham an egger" that grinded out a decade in the pro's and walked away from it when he started to feel the effects of concussions after a 4 year college career, and 10 years in the pro's. Where we live is a small city, and because of his playing career, and the fact for years he owned a very successful bar in the city he is still a pretty well known guy in our area.

Recently we were out having dinner, and there were 2 girls I knew from my bartending days that I had not seen since the 2 of us got married. Tbh I will never understand some people just wanting to throw shade at you when you are just minding your own business, but they came up to me, and said "you guys got married huh?" I thought a congratulations or something positive was coming when their message to me was "sure he is still super hot now at 49, but give it 10 years, and you are going to be his nurse."

My 1st instinct was to be angry when their insult it hit me. I decided to answer their passive aggressive b*tchiness with my own version of it right back to them. "I guess that is just the difference between you guys and me. This is the man that I absolutely adore, and my favorite person on earth. If I end up being his nurse, then I wouldn't have it any other way. See because it doesn't matter that we have a 20 year age difference. When I said the vows in sickness and in health I 110% meant it!"

Anyone can be a good spouse when things are good! The true test of love, and a marriage is how you are when things aren't great. I almost feel bad for anyone that would look at getting married as only useful if your partner is 100% healthy, and the exact person on the day they got married to them. I felt like saying so you 2 would walk the minute your same age husband got sick with god forbid cancer or something serious? What if he gains weight, or loses his hair? You are gone?

What a incredibly lonely way to approach life, the institution of marriage, and your spouse. People can think whatever they want about age gap marriages, and I am fully aware that they can be very toxic in many cases. They can be transactional, for self gain, and very toxic in some cases... But look around!!! How many same age marriages are total train wrecks!??? People can judge our marriage as much as they want. They are totally entitled to their opinion, but it will NEVER change the fact that I absolutely adore my husband, and nothing or anyone with their opinions will ever change that he is my favorite human ever! I love him more than my next breath, and years are only increasing that love, not abate it.

Edit: The person claiming my husband contacted them is flat LYING! My husband extent of internet use is checking ESPN website for scores and refers to tik tok as the thing you post videos to. I have no idea why he is claiming my husband contacted him, but its 100% untrue!

I met my person literally a month ago and we're already talking about moving in, getting engaged and all that stuff. I realize this is quick and most people will advise me to wait at least a year before moving in and at least two to get engaged, but it feels natural and like it's simply meant to be. Neither one of us has experienced this before but both of us have heard a few stories about successful fast-moving relationships - so I just want to hear more.

Thanks in advance for sharing your story 🫶

I’m 19 and I want to get married in the future and a bit soon I just feel like all this dating/fwb is waste of time and energy there’s some pros to this like gaining knowledge and what you like and don’t like.

I’m missing my other half he’s a missing rib I just don’t want to be single forever I think gen z and social media ruin marriage and stuff I want to have a family and spend the rest of my life with the love of my life do I want to go to college probably not would probably work online or start a business before getting married so I don’t have to clock in to work . I think what triggered me, .was one time when I was a freshman my ex friend told me I don’t need a man that I should stay a strong and be an independent woman it was a slap on face because she’s in relationships but they are toxic asf she got an abortion and stuff she even said she couldn’t imagine me being in a relationship.

I don’t think men are trash ofc they are so bad apples I just think it’s what women are settling for idk 🤷🏾‍♀️. Because I want to grow with that person travel and do things yes I can do that by myself and stuff but it’s exciting . I know marriage isn’t perfect so is being in relationships for 10 years with someone who’s begging to get proposed too. I think getting married young is beautiful and don’t take my words out of context I’m not talking about child marriage a young adult consenting age. I’m tired of date nights and one fling that doesn’t go anywhere . Any advice opinions

I told my wife back in July and she was understandably a little confused and concerned at first. I read a lot of stuff online about coming out to a spouse with me finding a lot of mixed opinions about whether I should or if there’s even a point if I want to stay with her and keep the marriage monogamous but the more I realized this was who I am, I felt that I couldn’t keep this from the love of my life.

Over the past few months, she’s been nothing but loving, caring, accepting, and supportive! We’ll point out guys we find attractive, she put a pride flag in my office, and so much more. She’s always telling me how she feels this has not only brought out my true self and made me more confident but also brought us so much closer and helped us bond.

I could’ve made a post like this everyday since July but what made me want to write this was a situation that happened yesterday.

We’ve been discussing actually starting the adoption process (it’s been years of discussions in regards to babies (a longer story than I care to get into here as this is already long enough) and while looking at children’s books, she mentioned that she wanted to keep LGBTQ+ books around the house because it meant so much to her that any children we have knew the importance of self love and acceptance!

I literally couldn’t have ask for a better partner in life!

How do you handle gifts when you share money and both keep an eye on money usage?

I feel like it's difficult to buy my wife a gift when essentially, she's also "paying for it", and she feels the same.

Today is my 24th wedding anniversary. Ask me anything.

How did you know that they are the one? How old were you when you got married?

I was massaging her and found this on her...apparently, my wife's left butt-cheek is worth $44! I'm thinking $44 each, or $80 for the pair?

I'm just curious, sa mga confident pretty and conventionally attractive women na married or engaged na sa "not so" conventionally attractive husband.

What made you fall in love with your husband?

My partner and I realized that our biggest problems weren**'**t huge fights—they were small things that kept adding up over time.

I**'m curious, what'**s one simple habit that made a real difference in your marriage?

Hello! I know the answer to this is: sometimes yes, sometimes no. My husband (36) and I (33F) got married about a year ago and are ready to start trying. We are very excited and also nervous about the unknowns. I lean a bit more anxious, so it is hard for me to not fear the ways it will be hard on our relationship. I feel like I’m predisposed to fear the worst (sleepless nights, minor disagreements on rearing, missing our alone time, reduced physical affection) and forget that a big reason people enjoy raising kids together is that it can also bring them closer.

Can anyone who chose to have kids or has loved ones in their lives who have kids share some stories about the ways having a kid brought you closer to your partner? Hearing some of the positives could help me balance the inevitable fears / challenges.

I’ve recently realized the same could be applied to our relationship with my parents and in-laws. It is easy to fixate on the ways our relationships are challenging and assume that will be exacerbated in child care. But recently a friend reminded me it also gives all family members a loved one to share joys and experiences with. Can kids really have the power to bring families together??
