Search Results: husband likes other women

I got a long time friend who does this all the time. He’s been married to his wife for 7 years. She’s older than him too but he’s definitely committed to her and in love. They are both very into fitness and she’s in excellent shape for her age. She’s around 40 and she’s as lean as a physically active woman in her early 20s

It does feel good when a significant other occasionally brags you up especially when it’s about your looks. But I am curious how women feel about their bfs/husbands doing this.

Male Led Relationship: Just the usual traditional marriage where the man is in charge. The guy gets the final say while he is the one who makes the money and make the decisions. His wife is essentially his responsibility and she usually stays home and do the cooking, cleaning and raising of the children. He is basically the boss!

Female Led Relationship: This is essentially the reverse of the traditional male leader and women follow relationship. In the female led relationship the woman is in charge and have the most say at the house, she will most likely be the main breadwinner and her husband is her responsibility. Her husband might take up the traditional feminine job of being home maker but still she is the boss and have the final word.

Partnership Relationship: In this relationship there isn't really a main leader because both the man and woman equally have a say in the couple. This relationship requires more compromise but still both the guy and girl have the same amount of power so no one is the final decider.

So men and women in terms of finding a potential partner which sort of lady or man is in your mind?

Personally myself I prefer if me and my future girl compromise and share equal say and responsibility I don't favor this one gender lead and the other gender follow concept. I rather choose a partnership but what about you men and women which relationship look more appealing in your eyes?

I ruined a good opportunity several years ago with a woman who could of been my wife. I didn’t cheat but I didn’t appreciate and reciprocate the love/respect she gave me. It was a complicated situation but I failed to communicate effectively. I owned up to being in the wrong when she broke up with me.

But it’s almost been 10 years now and I have had other gfs and flings. Nothing has come close to what I once had with this woman. No one understood me like she did.

However I’ve seen plenty of other shitty women I’ve past known manage to successfully get married and have kids. Who knows if their husbands are their dream men but something must of worked for them to settle down. But it doesn’t seem like men get as many second chances as women do when we screw up a good opportunity.

It was the only time in my entire life I made a mistake like that. She actually did something to deeply hurt me after ever split. That’s a whole another story but bad karma does exist I already got it back seven fold and got it back hard.

But why I do feel like I have had bad lingering karma ever since? Or is it that men in general have fewer options?
