  • What could this woman have possibly said that got her ratio'd to absolute oblivion with a 117 likes to 1418 comment comparison?
    This woman believes that men who expect 50/50 out of a relationship should be embarrassed. Not only that, but she says that it's because "men have the upper hand" in dating.
    Is there any truth to this?
    Do you agree with 50/50 - including financially?
    Do you believe men have the "upper hand" in relationships?

      For real. Even if we pretended that an upset woman will somehow turn into a ball of happiness just for being offered help, in what universe is it empowering to have to fix other people's problems?
      And secondly, she claims that _that_ is the power men have in a relationship over women, but proceeds to speculate that a woman would do the _very exact same thing_ to a man when *he's* having bad time. How is that not then empowering the woman in the relationship? There's not a single thread of consistency in her logic.
      I do not believe that she has done any introspection about herself and her being the "problem" that she "had to work on". She's only saying that to justify her high horse.

    Its funny when women hear "50/50" their first thought is money.
    What us men mean when we say 50/50 is we want to see our efforts reciprocated equally within the relationship. No man wants to be carrying the weight of the entire relationship and getting very little in return.

      I actually thought she was going to talk about money and bills, cuz that's what they are always complaining about.
      Turns out it took me 8 minutes to realize "wait, is she complaining about men and women being in mutually caring relationship?". It's so obvious to me that relationships must have reciprocation that I couldn't even consider that she'd make an issue out of that.

      Idk, I feel like this is more common among men than people seem to think it is. I think a lot of men, when presented with a woman taking on more "traditionally male" roles, tend to react more with feelings of appreciation than any sort of feelings of emasculation or resentment.
      I always try to relate this in reverse. As a woman, does seeing a man performing "traditionally female" roles make you feel like less of a woman? Does watching a man wash dishes or change a diaper make any woman feel like they arent a real woman?
      I would venture to guess that most women dont think that way, and would actually like for their male partners to take on those roles more often, as sharing those roles takes some of the burden off of their shoulders. I think the same is true of most men. Once you get past all of the societal bullshit of how men are "supposed" to feel compared to how men actually feel, we are mostly just appreciative of the effort to help make our lives easier, in the same way that you are. @thedadvocate

    The interesting thing is, when she talks about how she was a "people-pleaser" and it was screwing her over, she doesn't realize that this is what she's expecting men to do for her when she talks about men "having the advantage".
    So if she's having a bad day, the man should offer to help her out, give her what she needs, and basically cater to her. And that somehow is the man "having power" in the relationship.
    And of course, the woman will ALWAYS reciprocate, right? No woman would EVER just take advantage of a guy who's constantly doting on her, right? Right...?

      I'm actually Dutch. And "going dutch" is actually a rare sight in our dating scene. I found just 1 lady so far out of about 12 that was willing to split the difference. I don't understand why they call it that. I don't see it as based on facts. I had to learn to split the difference as well because my ex out of a 7 year lasting relationship pretty much had me pay for everything. For me, because every date I previously had pretty much expected that, made me feel like that was normal.

    31 years ago, when I first started dating my wife, she wanted to pay for the second date - which I refused. Then on the third date she INSISTED she pay, and I finally relented.
    Thing is, she _wanted_ to contribute to the relationship, and not just with her presence, but via something tangible.
    There are many, many examples throughout the years where she has demonstrated this again and again. It's why I would move mountains if necessary for her.
    Most women, especially these days, scoff at the idea of contributing anything besides their presence - and that's why the dating and marriage scene is decaying.

      problem is that a lot of people just happened to get lucky and find the one they want to settle with. If you actually listen to advice from a lot of those people: It tend to be a variation of platitudes that doesn't actually help anyone improve things (like happy wife, happy life tend to mean just be a doormat and do whatever she says from my discussion with people). There is also the fact that there are a lot of toxic marriages out there and I wouldn't consider those "successful".

Had our daughter take them to her as she was "hanging out" with her older daughter up stairs. I get a text 20 minutes late thanking me for the flowers.

    Going back to the money thing, to be fair, in my first marriage I (the husband) took what we each made, figured out each percentage of our income, and recommended that we each put that same percentage each month into a joint account for paying for housing and things. My wife's counter-point was that her haircuts are $100, mine are $20; her clothes are more expensive, she had more medical bills, etc. So eventually she whittled her side down pretty far. Not saying she was wrong, but when you're talking about money, there are somewhat objective differences between men and women, based on how our society works. On the other hand, there was a woman I dated and I did insist we go 50/50 on dates. Because I wanted to go out one night per weekend, whereas she wanted to go out like 3 times a week. And I literally couldn't keep up with all of the food and drink costs.

  • @EvanPrentice
    @EvanPrentice 7 месяцев назад +2

    I've been on both sides of this. My first marriage, I made half what my ex-wife did. I contributed 75% of my pay to the "household", while she contributed about 40% of hers. My 25% put gas in the car to commute, or pay for my motorcycle insurance, or date nights, or grabbing a lunch out once in a while. I had very little of my own money. So yeah, that was rough. Got divorced, kept the house, primary for the kids, and actually had more spending money, while paying for roughly the same stuff. She wasn't paying child support in that first year either.
    I've remarried now, and the dynamic in respect to earnings has reversed partly. I make about 1/3 more than she does; despite that, our finances are pretty balanced. She needs money, its there. I need money, it's there. We do it all together, and it doesn't matter who makes what, because we support each other, our kids, and our home, together.
    The difference is staggering. First marriage, very much what was addressed in this video, with a healthy smattering of NPD and cheating. Second marriage, equals, no secrets, no BS.
    Folks stuck in toxic marriages, men or women, it's not as bad getting out as you think. Don't stay for fear. Don't stay for the kids; I assure you, the kids will be happier if you're happier. Don't stay for money. Yes, it's scary, but I would rather be happy, and have to work an extra decade before retiring, then be miserable, emotionally abused, and lonely. Your toxic spouse has no right to make you unhappy, or to control you with money or fear. You are equal partners, and if you're not, that is a major red flag. If you earn less, that doesn't make you any less important. If you earn more, that doesn't make you any more important. Not to the relationship. Your kids are not weapons to be used against you, or to be used against your spouse. If you're worried about custody, don't. The judge will take into account what the kids want. Unless you're a bad parent, you will have joint, if not full, custody of your kids. The law does not want to take children away from parents without good cause. Just be honest, and tell your kids the same. Don't coach them. Just tell them to be honest. If your kids are 12 or older, at least in Canada, they get a say. You have to be a terrible parent to lose your kids.

She trashed her husband for putting her thrrough the "mental load" of having to tell him what to do around the house while admitting that he does the cooking and, when asked, does what she wants him to do. It's never enough with some of these self-centered harpies.
    Someone needs to find this woman's husband and save him from her. Seriously, she is going to make his life one of servitude and psychological abuse. Too many men stay in relationships where they are giving without keeping score while women are keeping score but cheating on the score. They're counting things they do that shouldn't count because they only benefit her and they're not counting things he does that benefit the family. On this woman's scorecard, the husband paying for everything or most things doesn't count at all because it's a man's role to pay. .

    The thing that blew my mind is the whole, they have all the power? You can ask and bow, and beg and that somehow makes you the one with the power? The Dadvocate is right, when have you ever seen a woman react positively in those situations. Women decide (and within the first few seconds of meeting you) if you have any chance. They decide when things (or if things) happen in a relationship. If they leave, legally they have the power. If they decide they don't want you interacting with children, or they want half your stuff they have the power. It's all literally built around women.
    I am not bitter. (Not at the moment) But I have seen this stuff, I've seen them just take others for a ride, and I've had women control every aspect of a relationship and yet somehow I was still the bad guy. I had to learn as well, just because a woman WOULD date me, doesn't mean I should be in a relationship with her. Even if that meant being alone and lonely. If both people aren't working on it, and working to try to understand and help the other one and putting all in, then .. you shouldn't be in it. You should do your best to work it out and find compromise (both).

    I'm trying to figure out how everything she said has anything to do with men having the upper hand in relationships. I need a map, and a compass.

      Even the LOZ(legend of zelda) timeline is not as much of a mess as trying to parse her bad opinions

    I always saw it as overall investment of fifty/fifty, well... or as close as works happily (genuinely not fear of loneliness induced claims of happy) with your given relationship. Recognizing your investment is not by default financial but meaningful from a far less artificial system of value like economics. Means a sense of emotional intention in your connection and not solidly locked in your wallet and working hours. This whole back and forth of women claiming some perfection in being demanding and men expecting but rarely demanding substance beyond the womans atypical standards of yesteryear... not seeking to be helped when some women are wanting more, fire nothing and no true merit to brave that supposed need, it's got me wondering. Whatever happened to our self education on topics we claimed drive or interest us, and not just RUclips videos? Like some of the demanding upset women looking into the average pay lines, not minimum wage but average pays vs the areas costs, yes in the whole of the country. Now when you write that down look into what percentage of jobs can actually achieve the type of life those women expect their men to hold for them to mostly enjoy, and within that how many (or more likely few) hours that leaves a man to give a damn about anything else. With that said, and assuming these women have actual self awareness, academic intelligence and emotional intelligence. Can a woman then still say that their other half, their person in their relationship. Should give her everything, absolutely possible... And then that womans partner is worthless for expecting some pickup on the the woman's side? Don't forget, we have long proven peple need time for themselves relatively or not so... That man needs reciprocated energy and effort showing their effort is valued by that little girl pretending at being a woman, not forgetting, as already mentioned; They need time to be themselves for themselves, rather than just live as constant disposable resource farm for unappreciating numpty tools claiming love.

    50/50 also means when her man is having a bad day SHE has the power to also ask him. What can I do about it how can I help. I bet she doesnt
