You don't make your own luck when it involves another person... You have zero control over anyone else on this planet and sometimes not over ourselves... The few months or years prior to marriage give you inklings of what the future may hold, but only time proves it out... And sometimes it goes badly... The stats pretty much prove that point...
No but you have 100% control over your own life if you are willing to take control.....perhaps now that I'm older I realize how short life really is....way too short to be miserable and to not do the things you enjoy. If you are willing to live with your current situation that absolutely is your choice but luck has nothing to do with it....you made the choice....live with it. I have lots of buddies that constantly whine about their wives and my answer is always the same....quit whining or do something about it....the choice is ultimately yours. You make your own luck.

Just got back from a week up North, and the wife, and mother in law were there the whole time, keeping the fire going and cooking for us.
It is a game of give and take. She supports me in the things I love, and I am glad to do the same for her.
Only way this whole marriage things works far as I can tell.

My wife says nothing about me hunting. In fact one day I am going to get lost or be half dead out in the bush and she won't even notice I am gone for at least 2 days.
Still the best advice it to never get married, ever.

Unless she's certified bat 5hit crazy.
Not all women are like that!! In fact, I hunt more than my hubby! Our house is in shambles every hunting season, but hey..... we have plenty of time to get it back into shape between the end of season & the beginning of ice fishing! My sympathies!

Lucky for Rick you are normal!
Sorry you feel that way...I must've hit a nerve. I maintain that there is only a tiny percentage of people who change that drastically. "Got lucky"? I sure did, and that "luck" has now lasted over thirty years...but I wouldn't have been that lucky with any of my previous girlfriends if I had ignored the signs. I think I was lucky to be careful. I'm not a huge fan of "the stats", because they can be made to say just about anything you like...but "the stats" can also teach a person to look before they leap. And my "courtship" lasted several years, which certainly minimizes surprises. How long do the stats say the typical one lasts?
I wasn't looking to start an argument, and I won't do so. If my post says I'm arrogant and judgmental...what does the first sentence of yours say about you?

Judging on how many woman that I know of that are on some kind of "happy pill" by the time they are in their 40's I would say that an extremely high majority change drastically and develop some kind of mental illness problem.
When dealing with mental problems it doesn't matter how great of a husband you are or how well you think you knew the person. Sad to see so many men having to deal with wives like this and then end up loosing it all in the end anyways.

It can ruin her life...he has the option not to have his ruined
Most guys would consider their life ruined for quite a while after walking away with less than half and living in a basement suit making child support payments.
It can ruin her life...he has the option not to have his ruined
Ah, that is a tricky one. It seems cut and dry to you, and I hope you never have to cross this road.. However, whether you leave or stay, there is always ruin. Especially when it involves religion, morals, finances and family+friends.
The hardest thing to do it that situation is to make it cut and dry.
For better or worse; is this the "worse" part? I married a woman I loved, and now she has an illness, so the going gets tough so this means the guy runs away?
I know if my wife had a mental illness, it wouldn't be easy.. doesn't mean its time to cut the losses.
Does the backhand still count as 'non abusive' if it is holding a tennis racket?That's what the backhand is for, disipline, as long you don't use your palm it's not abuse
If things were really bad most guys would consider that a better option. Lots of guys get divorced and go on to have much happier lives than if they'd have remained in a miserable relationship....it's all about choices. If you choose to make your life better you can...if you don't....you won't and will end up whining about it to your buddies and on a messageboard. Some guys choose to keep their material stuff and be miserable and other guys chose their mental health.....
