The strain on my mom's marriage intensifies as the clash in beliefs between her and my stepdad becomes more apparent. Their differences extend beyond mere disagreements, delving into fundamental values, such as attitudes towards minorities and religious perspectives. The household atmosphere is palpably affected, with authenticity in the relationship seeming to erode each day.

These disparities manifest in the upbringing of my younger brother, who, at the age of 12, is already adopting offensive language, mirroring the conflicting ideologies he is exposed to. His use of derogatory terms on platforms like Roblox is alarming, reflecting the influence of the divisive beliefs within our family.

Attempts to address these issues face significant roadblocks. Both my mom and stepdad resist acknowledging the problem, creating a challenging environment for open communication. The stepdad's controlling behavior adds another layer of complexity, as he imposes restrictions on his son's friendships based on prejudiced views, particularly towards black and gay individuals.

Cultural differences exacerbate the situation, with biases emerging within the family, especially on the Armenian-Lebanese side. This has led me to distance myself from my Armenian heritage, feeling ashamed due to the prevalence of racism, selfishness, and conspiracy theories within that part of my family.

As I navigate this complex family dynamic, the struggle to balance conflicting values and maintain a semblance of harmony becomes increasingly challenging. The reluctance to address these issues head-on adds a layer of tension to an already difficult situation.

A traditional woman used to pride herself on serving her husband. Something that most men place great interest and satisfaction in.

While many modern women claim to be completely independent and do not require a man; a man’s happiness is largely based in being a provider and being appreciated for his efforts. If a woman has no need for him and does not bestow gratification upon him for his labours, what benefit should a self sufficient man hope to gain through an unnecessary relationship?

Most Men are fully capable of providing themselves with every personal desire and need. Besides sex and children, the independent feminist woman offers no personal gain to us. While we are content with our own capabilities and provisions, we have little satisfaction to gain by risking our lives and estates for an ungrateful female companion.

While I applaud social changes that allow women to succeed on their own and be independent, I merely state the possible cause of many modern women’s loneliness and isolation from successful capable husbands.

Summarily, we are mostly unnecessary and unappreciated, hence have little to gain and much to risk. At the end of my third marriage, I look at the incredible cost of giving away the fruits of my many conquests and labours over the years and ask myself if it was worth it? Aside from the knowledge gained and experience, I conclude negatively.
