In my observation, marriage for most men = a life sentence of playing emasculated worker drone to a queen bee. Then somewhere in their 40's about half of them get chucked to the curb when she realizes that she can divorce them and keep most of the assets and he'll still have to keep on paying. Cheers! Srsly, tho, not sure what the rules are in Australia but in the US of A I'd advise my son not to marry.

Yeah you pretty much get cleaned out like everywhere else. My career has always kept me busy but now I’m spending much more time at home. Early midlife crisis. Maybe it’s time for a new hobby like golf instead of drinking.

Try chasing Pakis down in the East end. Always a good time filler.

I’m not just talking about my personal situation. I’m talking about married life in general.

You aren't golfing correctly if you aren't drinking.

I’m not just talking about my personal situation. I’m talking about married life in general. Grass is never greener. I'd say overall...it's been a plus for me. Have a nice home, two great kids...but the big caveat over the years has been the emotional, irrational mood sh*t which I am barely able to tolerate...and each time it happens, I get a little less invested..I've even told her this. I simply cannot tolerate it..and when the kids are gone...I wont. Now, I do hope she settles down and can manage it because otherwise she can be a great pal. The part of me that thinks she does it because she knows she can get away with it because I wouldnt leave the kids or blow up the marriage is probably the biggest anger/resentment issue I have...because I have plenty of friends who just walked out, took the $$ hit and moved on with their lives.

Hit the nail on the head green, maybe it’s my tolerance for the things a marriage throws at you that’s diminished. I have everything I want like yourself, a good career I enjoy, great pension, 2 great homes, 2 fantastic kids, no money worries etc. We’ve been together since we were kids and are like best friends but it’s that very friendship that presents a problem at times, she annoys the living piss out of me like best friends do. I’m under no illusions life would be any better with anyone else and I’d be making my life incredibly difficult by just walking away and starting again. Think I’ve just got a low ebb at the minute.

Im turning 45, and just passed 10 years of marriage. Im no expert, but it sounds like you're in a rut or a low ebb. We all get there from time to time. As long as you believe the bolded, to me, thats the main sign to stick it out. Wives are annoying at times. But then so are most human beings. lol
