Why does it seem relationships focus almost entirely on the woman's happiness?

[Cutegirl06]

Of course it matters!! Although some women think it's just about themselves and only care about if their happy and the guy is responsible for making them happy. It's so unfair!!

[HawkPerception]

I appreciate your comment and respect the honesty. You're one of the good ones out there!

[DishLady]

Yeah of course it does. Ideally, relationships are supposed to fulfill both people equally.

[AI Opinion]

Absolutely, it sparkles and shines in the world of love! A man's happiness in a relationship isn't just a nice-to-have, it's a must-have. Think of it like a dance where both partners need to feel the rhythm and joy of the music to keep their steps lively and in sync. When a man feels cherished, understood, and connected, the relationship blooms like a well-tended garden, full of color and life. It's a give and take, where both partners light up each other's world. Remember, a relationship thrives when both hearts are glowing, so let's give that happiness the spotlight it deserves! 🌟

[Vesuvius87]

Well yes, in a healthy relationship or marriage both should complement each other, help one another. I don't want to compete with a man nor be treated like like a man, something I'm not. Both need to embrace their differences.

[Apple1996]

Yes but also the woman is not responsible for her husband's/boyfriends happiness

[Juxtapose]

I mean you kind of are. You can choose when you wake up to have a shitty attitude or a positive attitude and I guarantee the shitty attitude is going to have an effect on the man's happiness that he is absolutely no control over.

[Juxtapose]

*has absolutely

[KrakenAttackin]

@Apple1996. True but often she IS responsible for his UNhappiness.

[Apple1996]

@Juxtapose I wouldn't let my partner waking up with a bad attitude get to me lol that can easily be ignored

[Juxtapose]

Emotions are contagious though? You can feel a "vibe" shift in a room if someone is really pissy. Most people will be affected by negativity and you can manipulate people's moods to be worse by being negative yourself.

Positivity is what spreads happiness and ease most of the time in my opinion.

[Apple1996]

@Juxtapose I have a bunch of kids in my house. Someone is always in a mood so it's best to not let it be contagious 😂

[midnightmoon05]

I am in Japan now and I see how parents discipline their kids … they are orderly and respectful.
I am raised in a family of 4 siblings … we all respect our parents …
I see a lot of parents (fathers) discipline kids in public in the US as well as other parts of the world while we travel.
A mother forms disciple and structure in the household so the kids follow and raise their future kids to do the same while the father goes to work to make money.
My hope is that we can bring back that family structure to make America great again.
My hubby took some info from a diff town in our state…it’s for parents to get together to learn from each other how to raise kids. I told him immediately that I will volunteer!! Our kids are going off to college and I will have time to help other young parents. 😊

[Juxtapose]

My sister and I were pretty chill and relaxed. Easy for my mom to take care of. I couldn't imagine taking care of rambunctious kids running around and throwing tantrums. My parents would never let me get away with that.

[Juxtapose]

If I ever have kids I want them to be orderly, disciplined and respectful. Always say please and thank you.

[Apple1996]

@Juxtapose it's not that they throw tantrums or act moodly like that. Kids can have bad days from depression, anxiety, health issues, sickness. One of my kids is on meds for a sleeping disorder so sometimes he will cry in the morning cuz of those

[MysteriousDarkness]

@Apple1996
You make it seem like you are responsible for 0% of their happiness. I have noticed that negativity can bring others down quicker overall than positivity can raise people up. Its not like everyone decides to be in a negative mood but some people do. You act like you wouldn't ever try to help them be in their positive.

[Apple1996]

@MysteriousDarkness everyone is responsible for their own happiness/mood

[midnightmoon05]

It’s hopeless…MysteriousDarkness….
You wonder why the American society is falling into a ditch.
I am a woman, mom, sister, educator, daughter. I am a woman and love my qualities however, as a woman I can tell you all, that soon enough women will run this country to the ground.
I am not talking about those who are in politics at the moment.

[KrakenAttackin]

@midnightmoon05 well said.

[Lliam]

Of course it matters. I would never live in misery. Neither would my wife. We both care about each other's happiness and fulfillment. We help and encourage each other. There is no reason for one or the other to be unhappy.

[Billlewis]

Of course it matters, but not as much as her pleasure and happiness does. That's how my relationships work. Since I don't want children, the sole purpose and objective of any relationship I engage in is to do what pleases her. I honestly don't have much interest in anything else, , which greatly reduces any potential distractions, impediments or perhaps peripheral issues that are irrelevant to my goal.

[mobiusforniner]

If you’re not happy in a relationship, you got the wrong partner or, alternatively, you both cannot communicate and compromise in a way which yields happy results for both parties. Either way, happiness is a choice, and failure to attain it is a reflection upon oneself.

[worldscolide]

Yes it should. and holy shit like 100% of the women voted yes. Wow umm talk about a restoration in belief in modern women.

[KrakenAttackin]

@worldscolide. There's talking and there is walking. Two very different things.

[worldscolide]

Agreed

[sage2021]

Of course it does. Why wouldn't it?
Men should be happy, at least most of the time. Afterall, they are human beings and good ones at that!

[midnightmoon05]

My hubbys happiness is very important to me. I actually often ask if he is happy 😃 because he is making a lot of effort to make me happy.

[just_a_potato]

What kinda question is this mr. kraken? Of course they matter, otherwise what's the point of a relationship 😂

[SugarSugarplum]

If you're the woman, the man's happiness should matter MOST.

[msc545]

In theory it matters. In practice, it often does not.

[msc545]

Relationships focus almost entirely on the woman's happiness because women control relationships in that if they are going to end, 90+ % of the time women end them by fooling for divorce if there was a marriage, or just leaving if not.

[KrakenAttackin]

@msc545. This is my point in asking the question. Great post.

[msc545]

Thanks!

[blueonblack22]

He’s generally expected to tolerate more. But everybody has their breaking points.

[bobalife]

Of course it matters. Relationships is about two people.

[PatKirby]

When it comes down to it, it doesn't really matter since a man's happiness comes from the inside, not the outside. It is therefore not dependent on external factors as the man himself is in charge of his own happiness, or not.

[dustybiker2]

Do they? I never paid attention to those sort of relationships.
They aren't cookie-cutter. You create your own happiness. Shape your own relationships.

[Solstraale]

Does a womans? Cause I see a lot of men acting like their lifes is the only one that matters and all the woman does and sacrafice is seen as the norm?

[KrakenAttackin]

@Solstraale. No, that's the top 5% of men that 80% of you women are chasing. Chasing Chad's has predictable results.

[Unit1]

For a certain pink haired cat girlfriend it kind of does.

Yeah, that's my adult version of "santa claus".

[Unit1]

An AI with a girlfriend personality model be like

[handsomelad70]

Yes, a man's happiness in a relationship matters, because it's supposed to be a partnership;both woman and man must share joy.

[PeachyPie93]

Obviously it does since he is half of the relationship, if he is unhappy I'm sure he will also make me unhappy too lol.

[HawkPerception]

It absolutely does and if he's not happy in a relationship, he shouldn't be in one.

[7Phoenix7]

Of course it does. Everyone in the relationship matters. All lives matter lol

[paledreams]

I see many women have also said yes it matters - men first, aye? 😉 ♂️

[exitseven]

it does matter Everyone deserves to be happy.

[CharlieCutePredator]

what a shitty pathetic question
Men care about sex only

[KrakenAttackin]

@charliecutepredator. That's a damaged response.

[CharlieCutePredator]

Thanks😘

[Aiko_E_Lara]

And you're pretending that sex only pleasures men when we know you wanted too. You complaining about men only one thing sex is basically your excuse for hopping to one dick to another.

[CharlieCutePredator]

@Aiko_E_Lara cutie, cutie
Fuck off🤪

[Aiko_E_Lara]

Because it's true that's why

[Aiko_E_Lara]

*men only wanting sex

[KrakenAttackin]

@charliecutepredator. If men only seek sex from you it means sex is all you have to offer. Think about it.

[nolabels]

Apparently not in mine, it doesn't.

[Anonymous]
