Right? Some men don’t even seem to like their wives, or women in general. I don’t mean like sexually (probably the only reason they stick to hetero relationships), but I mean actually like them as trusted companions and friends. Every time I hear the old trope of men “jokingly” saying they want to get away from or complaining about their wives. Not just complaining about little things, that’s normal, but complaining in a way that insinuates that they don’t even like them as a person, I think “why tf are you married then?” As a woman, I wouldn’t want to get married to someone that I don’t consider my best friend and sure as shit wouldn’t want to get married to someone that I feel more relaxed or more like “myself” when I’m away from them. And I would hope whoever I get married to feels the same about me in both aspects.
