    Agree 100% I almost got married at 24 to someone who was the absolute nightmare and i was at my lowest at that time, unemployed, toxic parents, daddy issues, internal pressure to find a man, low self esteem you name it. It was God’s miracle that he opened my eyes to see life as it is and embrace the unknown with all its trials. Now at 26 I laugh at how dumb i was. Life is still in the process but more wisdom, peace and joy.

    I am in my 20s and got divorced. I had a prenup, so the divorce went smoothly. The marriage was nice. Sometimes things out of your control happen that cause you to take different life paths. A prenup is a good idea to make sure both people know what is supposed to happen ahead of time if things don't go to plan. It's really easy to come up with a fair plan when you still want to get married, though some creativity to consider all possible futures.

    Something to consider for the 50% divorce rate (which is actually falling and probably a bit below 40% since people are more contientious about marriage), the stat doesn't tell the story of serial divorcers. Most divorcees realize they made a mistake young, mature through divorce, and get it right happily ever after. But there's people who never learn and keep getting divorced. This adds to the total number of marriages (the denominator), but the numerator doesn't differentiate. Marriage tend be a much more stable institution than doomers would have you believe. Especially now that people are more cognizant about what they expect before entering one.

We did it (abroad ofc) to show our families and friends that we actually mean it. Saying "I do", was something I never would have to be able to do. It's silly, we invited only our parents and the closest friends to be our witness, and it changed so much in our lives. My father started to accept me and my husband.

    I think you are healing but you are still cautious. That is why you came from "I will never marry again" to "I want to marry but don't think it need to be for life". Still I think that marrying till the end of life makes me try more even if I don"t want or I have no strenght. I just need to try so I do it. Why would I try if I knew that in lets say 5 years everything would finish? I would just wait till the end and tell "hey, that is how we said it will be, so goodbye".

    it is interesting to see your point on marriage / relationship, I see Asian culture influence (marriage is not just between two people) all this is good but still I think life in many cases is fate. Most people pretend on the beginning off relationship and I think this is biggest problem. Unfortunately that is the world we live in and there is no golden rule. As well as you value your family opinion your partner will also have influence of opinion people around her. I wish you all the best. I heard once that we change (and I think our perception of the life) every decade. there is some truth behind that 🙂, I ma 47 now and see my life in some kind of perspective.

    Zacznę od złożenia życzeń: Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin! 🥳🎉🎂🥂
    Jesteś Koziorożcem. Bardzo porządny znak. Najbardziej pracowity ze wszystkich znaków zodiaku!
    Jeśli dobrze sprawdziłam to w chińskim horoskopie: Drewniany Pies.
    Trochę Cię prześwietliłam 😉😁, ale daty urodzenia niezmiennie kojarzą mi się z horoskopami - automatycznie mi się to włącza.
    Swoją drogą nie wiem czy zacząłeś też obchodzić imieniny (bo w USA chyba nie ma takiego zwyczaju). Datę imienin ustala się najczęściej jako najbliższą dacie urodzin, więc w Twoim przypadku to chyba byłby 28 styczeń.
    Ze wszystkich punktów, które poruszyłeś największe wrażenie zrobiło na mnie to, że w kwestii wyboru swojej partnerki liczysz się że zdaniem swojej rodziny (może tym bardziej przez to, że sama jestem w niepełnej rodzinie). To było ładne. Bardzo mądre i dojrzałe podejście!
    Uważam podobnie jak Ty, że dzisiaj mężczyźni myślą, że kobieta są tymi najgorszymi. A kobiety tak samo uważają o mężczyznach. 😅🤣😳🥴 A media najczęściej to podchwytują i jeszcze zaogniają konflikt.
    Nawet przedwczoraj natknęłam się na dyskusje Polaków na temat mieszanych związków polsko-niemieckich. Kobiety przyrównywane były właściwie do mentalnych prostytutek, zainteresowanych głównie wyższym statusem materialnym Niemców. Tylko, gdy kobieta wiązała się z biedniejszym od siebie uznawano to za... wyjątek od reguły, że kobiety to materialistki 😏 (a statystycznie w ogóle mężczyźni zwykle zarabiają więcej od kobiet, od zawsze😂). Jeszcze były uwagi, że mężczyźni (zarówno Niemcy jak i Polacy) wolą wybierać kobiety ładniejsze i łatwiejsze czyli Polki (bo Niemki są bardziej wymagające 😅).
    W dzisiejszych czasach mamy pewien kryzys relacji - wręcz na poziomie międzyludzkim. Więc bycie w parze bywa trudniejsze. Dlatego zawsze staram się kibicować relacjom. I podziwiam długoletnie związki.
    Sama mam za sobą trudne rozstanie. W krótkim odstępie czasu straciłam pracę i chłopaka, który był zarazem moim przyjacielem (jedynym mężczyzną, którego nazywałam przyjacielem). Do tego nie miałam wtedy stałego kontaktu z moją mamą, która była najbliższą mi osobą w rodzinie. Miałam wrażenie, że nie ma wokół mnie najbliższych mi osób. To mnie załamało (za duża kumulacja ciężkich rzeczy naraz). Miałam odczucie, że doświadczam jakiegoś rodzaju śmierci (bo tym właśnie bywają rozstania!). Mnie najbardziej akurat dobiła utrata przyjaciela (czułam się jak krucha trzcina, którą ktoś dla mnie ważny z łatwością przełamał na pół). Przyjaźń była wtedy dla mnie najważniejsza! Bo miłość przychodzi i odchodzi kiedy chce, a przyjaźń to coś co sami wybieramy. Nigdy przez lata naszej znajomości o nic go właściwie nie prosiłam i to był jedyny raz kiedy czegoś od niego chciałam - potrzebowałam jego zwyczajnej obecności (był wtedy dla mnie najważniejszą osobą na świecie). On natomiast potrzebował wtedy czasu i przestrzeni. Kiedy on zatęsknił za jakimkolwiek zwykłym kontaktem ze mną ja już byłam w zupełnie innym punkcie - doszłam do wniosku, że nasz kontakt jest niewskazany. Nasze potrzeby kontaktu totalnie się rozmijały. Rozstanie było o tyle bardziej skomplikowane, że między nami wciąż nadal była miłość. On zerwał ze mną pierwszy (był jedynym mężczyzną, który że mną zerwał i akurat tym, którego najbardziej kochałam). Bardzo szybko chciał do mnie wrócić (po jakichś dwóch dniach 😄). Ale dla mnie coś się już skończyło (ciągłość naszej relacji). To była niewłaściwa kolejność: on najpierw że mną zerwał a później chciał coś naprawiać zamiast najpierw coś próbować naprawiać w związku a dopiero potem że mną zrywać). Uznałam, że powinniśmy sobie faktycznie przynajmniej zrobić koniecznie jakąś przerwę w naszej relacji, bo on ma dużo racji w tym, że zrywa nasz związek. Doceniłam, że wykonał ten trudny i wymagający pewnej odwagi (choć radykalny) krok - zerwania. Więc w przeciągu może trzech dni od najpierw zerwał ze mną a ostatecznie ja z nim. I oboje czuliśmy się z tego powodu źle. 😔 To była bardzo trudna lekcja od życia, że nawet pomimo, że kogoś kochasz powinieneś zakończyć związek. Mój były partner ułożył sobie nawet szybko życie uczuciowe na nowo ostatecznie (to dobrze o nim świadczy - że miał zdrowsze podejście i zawsze cieszę się szczęściem ludzi, którzy byli dla mnie bliscy). Ja bardzo długo (latami!🤦🙄) próbowałam się w nim bezskutecznie odkochać. Nie działały na mnie: upływ czasu, logiczne uzasadnienia, praca, nauka, filozofia, psychologia, żadne odciągacze czasu czy jakieś używki. Nowe relacje wydawały mi się jałowe i nie były nawet namiastką naszej relacji. Moje uczucie do niego po prostu się nie kończyło! Czy próbowałam o nim nie myśleć wogóle albo mieć jego przesyt. Myślałam o nim zaraz po przebudzeniu i jak kładłam się spać. W końcu uznałam, że nie ma dla mnie już ratunku. I że przepadłam wraz z tą miłością. I właśnie wtedy kiedy się ostatecznie poddałam zaczęłam się odkochiwać (ku mojemu totalnemu zaskoczeniu). Ta miłość po prostu nagle mi sama przeszła! Od tego czasu bardzo doceniam stan nie bycia zakochaną 😄😂. Miłość kojarzy mi się z tym, że się raczej głupieje 😂🤭. I przesuwają się jakieś twoje granice (czasem wytrzymałości hahaha). Nie znoszę być zakochana (pomimo tego, że jest to też równocześnie wspaniały stan bytu!🥰🤩). Uwielbiam za to przyjaźń - chociaż to przyjaciele ranili mnie w życiu najmocniej. Najwięcej moich potencjalnych przyjaźni zabierała mi miłość - nigdy w życiu nie udało mi się przez to zaprzyjaźnić z żadnym facetem. Ale dzięki temu moje związki miały szerszą podstawę, bo zaczynały się najczęściej od tego, że chciałam się z tymi facetami najpierw zaprzyjaźnić. I rozstania też bywały zawsze bez kłótni.
    To najcięższe rozstanie paradoksalnie zresztą jeszcze więcej mi dało. Bardzo szybko włączyło mi się myślenie, że ja się nie chcę nigdy więcej w życiu tak czuć. Pojawiło mi się takie klasyczne roztrząsanie, że muszę być niewystarczająca i bardzo wybrakowana. I że powinnam nad sobą popracować i się zmienić. Że tylko mi się zdawało, że tak dużo wiem o życiu. Ja się przede wszystkim skupiłam na sobie (zawsze to robię po rozstaniu), bo uznałam, że to jest coś na co mam największy wpływ. Mimo że to nie jest łatwe - chociażby przyglądać się sobie krytycznie. Zaczęłam się zastanawiać czego tak naprawdę chcę i co sama daję.
    Uświadomiłam sobie, że ja wręcz nie dostrzegałam wszystkich faktów na temat związku - bo byłam chociażby zbyt zakochana (a to nie była jednak łatwa relacja od samego początku). Ja tak naprawdę w tym związku byłam jeszcze mentalnie dzieckiem, więc włożyłam w niego dużo bezinteresowności. Moje emocje były czyste i bardzo prawdziwe - przed żadnym partnerem w życiu się tak nie otwarłam. Przez to było mi trudniej z tego wyjść.
    Wszystkie dotychczasowe związki właściwie zawsze ją kończyłam. Gdy moi partnerzy zaczynali wspominać o wspólnym domu, małżeństwie i dzieciach nigdy nie byłam na to gotowa. Z szacunku do nich, żeby nie zajmować im sobą czasu, zawsze się z nimi rozstawałam. To zawsze ją szybciej wychodziłam z relacji! (bez większych perturbacji). Do czasu aż rzuciła mnie największa miłość mojego życia - wtedy w jednej chwili zrozumiałam wszystkie smutne piosenki o nieszczęśliwej miłości 😂😏🤣.
    To dość uniwersalne doświadczenie: bolesne rozstanie. Najważniejsze to nie zafiksowywać się na tym martwym punkcie. Ty jesteś żywym przykładem, że można to zrobić - możesz być inspiracją dla innych.
    Masz ciekawe przemyślenia i podsumowania. Najważniejsze w budowaniu relacji to znaleźć odpowiednią partnerkę, która będzie rozumiała Twój odbiór świata i Twoje podejście. Jestem przekonana, że w Warszawie na pewno sobie kogoś znajdziesz. Życzę Ci jak najlepiej. Jesteś wspaniałą osobą! I zasługujesz na równie dobrą partnerkę.
    Właściwie wszystko co powiedziałeś w filmiku ma swoje logiczne wyjaśnienie; ma swój sens. Mnie jedynie zastanowiło to 5% - słyszałam, że po ślubie zainteresowanie seksem się zmienia, ale ta liczba i tak mnie zadziwiła :). Trochę mało... :) Ale pewnie się nie znam - mężatką nie byłam.
    Na pewno spojrzenie na związki po dekadzie jest inne, bo człowiek przez ten czas już właściwie staje się inną osobą. I właściwie to dobrze - bo to świadczy o tym, że człowiek się rozwinął.
    A życie zawsze znajdzie kiedyś jakiś sposób, żeby nas złamać. Najważniejsze to przetrwać ten nieuchronny kryzys. I trzeba się wykazać prawdziwą siłą, żeby się temu nie poddać bez walki - i jak człowiek próbuje to nie powinien robić sobie wyrzutów. Zwłaszcza gdy dotyczy to tak delikatnej materii jaką jest związek - bo to jest operowanie na najbardziej wrażliwych rejestrach (od podstawowej ludzkiej potrzeby akceptacji i przynależności po intymność; sferę seksualną).
    *Naprawdę długo się zastanawiałam czy powinnam wogóle omawiać swoje przeszłe związki, ale uznałam, że może jakkolwiek kiedykolwiek komukolwiek to pomoże (a dobrze wiem jak trudne potrafią być rozstania). Te doświadczenia są już za mną, bo ja nimi nie żyję. I moich ex nie postrzegam też jakoś negatywnie, bo to były bliskie i szczególne dla mnie osoby (i one zresztą to wiedzą).

    Being aromantic, I've had no other choice but to ignore what is/was "expected" of me in society, and go my own way. As such I've often pitied those who wound up in unhappy marriages, and/or living unhappy lives, simply because they had the "go along to get along" mentality. I now work for a global network that provides a living wage for everyone in their network, and their standard, renewable, customizable, marriage "license" is a-typical, and pragmatic, and aligns with your own thoughts on providing a safe, clear way "out" of marriage - should it come to that. It's all part of "hoping for the best, but planning for the worst." I'm glad that your experience, while hard/painful, has given you wisdom beyond your years. Great video. Love & Light to you.

We broke up back in Feb 2018 after just using me for financial gains. I try again last year only to walk out after she asked me how much do you make. If your partner remains loyal and doesn’t care about wealth she a keeper otherwise she leave you if your financial situation changed.

    While most of your tips seems reasonable, tip 5 seems off base. Lets start with the definition of insanity "doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result." Culture and society shifts are needed. Just because we've hit some bumps while trying to figure it out doesn't mean we should give up. You're looking back at the past through rose colored glasses. Men & women relationships has always been complicated, but in the past men held all the marbles. The solution isn't to look to the past for answers but to keep moving forward in a equitable way. I find mostly men that are looking back to the past due to the power dynamic. Adapt and learn to navigate in the present.

    I'm in my mid 30s never married, no kids. Marriage never made sense to me , especially that I've seen most of the married people around me being miserable. I love women and love being with them, but I noticed that after 2 years max of any relationship I've been in , they start to change. They start giving less and want more. I think a big part of it is they take the relationship for granted. They think since they secured me , they don't have to work as hard. Just imagine what would happen if I gave them the leverage of marriage. Unfortunately, marriage gives the one with less finances leverage, since they have nothing to lose and everything to gain on a breakup. I will never ever do it. Instead , if they start not acting right , I cut bait and move on . No losses there.

    You sound more and more mature and... normal. I totally agree that people are not bad of themselves, they answer to what you called an "incentive structure", more commonly known as "culture" 😄. That applies just as much to cheating and hookup culture, as it does to corruption or being hard-working. Or having kids at a young age. Same thing with micro-cultures, such as a workplace.
    As to marriage "until death do us part" - perhaps you should treat it as more of an ambition? The promise is supposed to make it difficult and embarrassing to part ways, if you honestly promised something in front of dozens of your family members and friends. So that you don't give up at the first view of trouble! Serious illness, meeting a new, very attractive potential partner, change of priorities in life... that shouldn't be enough of itself to part ways. It's just an effective strategy to have known each other for a few years, lived together for a while... that severely limits the number of later surprises, even if it's just that.

    Good commentary on life. I agree on almost everything except the marriage itself. I don’t need paperwork to be with someone in a lasting relationship. I actually noticed that a lot of relationships that were near perfect for decades fell quickly apart as soon as they got married. Something in the back of the mind that brings the attitude of “now we’re married so I don’t have to try anymore because the other person is tied down”. I’m in my mid-40s now and what I’ve learned is:commitment yes-marriage no. Obviously I understand that with kids involved there are other legal issues but that can be solved as well nowadays.

    I agree with much of what you mentioned, it carries a lot of wisdom, however I don't aggree that you should leave room to divorce in case you want it. Instead I believe marriage should be a lifetime commitment. But because it should be a lifelong commitment, make sure you do well to identify someone who you can sacrifice yourself for and who can sacrifice themselves for you. It is about duty , We spend over a decade in school to eventually set up our careers yet many with marry without educating themselves sufficiently about marriage. So because it should be a lifelong thing, make sure to thoroughly prep for it.

    I think the definition of a PP Bro got lost somewhere
    It rationally makes no sense to go overseas to find a "wife." It's hard enough in your home country to do it, what sense does it make to go find someone from a different culture, who speaks a different language, and has lived a different quality of life?
    Being a real PP Bro was doing it like Patrice O'Neal. Going to Brazil to get some foreign box, getting prince treatment, then coming home once you've had some fun.
    This new definition causes more harm than good. Guys who've made good money going overseas to find the "love of their life" is simply irrational.

I prefer it to be discussed on.. what do U and your partner picture the daily and weekly routine to be like? Iron it all out ahead of time. If as a man, do U still expect to go riding or fishing or shooting pool or golf like you are doing before getting married.. if U had to curb even half the activities, would U do it? All I see are male friends basically having to be the ones giving up what they love to do. And in today's first world countries, it basically behooves men not to get married, or even have children out of wedlock. Whoa, did U notice the word construct.. wed-LOCK. Who holds the KEY? The women do, as Family Law favors one side of the equation, and we MEN , as George Carlin said, are NOT in the CLUB.
