I don't know about dating advice, as in how to catch one. I got lucky there.
Keeping one is another matter, and I do have advice there.
1. Trust is key. Without trust, you can't have communication. Each party need to be able up voice themselves, and trust that the other cares about what they have to say.
2. Be excellent to each other. Always consider the other in everything you do.
3. Never go to bed angry.
4. Remeber that everything you do is foreplay, even how you pass by her in the kitchen.
5. Fuck, don't fight. If there's an issue.... fuck it out. 😏
Unironically that's the only hope for anybody who ends up becoming super rich. If you don't have a ride or die before you make it you will never actually know what love is, and you'll just become another Elon Musk who hops between different BPD women who he impregnates for the rest of his life, leaving behind 150 different fatherless spergs to fight to the death over his fortune.
Relationships are different when you've built life together. I have a lot of older clients to are on their second or third marriages or have a girlfriend or domestic partner. It's all so very economic. "This is mine, that's yours." It's so cold in a way.
I've also spent almost every minute of my of my life with my wife since we got together. We're not codependent. We do our own things. She paints, sews, and plays piano. I work, play with my computers, and drum.
Nonetheless, we're rarely more than a ten feet apart. I've had many people describe us as being like a finely tuned clock. There's a groove we each fill. She washes the dishes, I put them in the washer. I vacuum while she sweeps. Etc.
@beardalaxy@Humpleupagus@synapsid A bunch of fucking faggot boomers in my family and family adjacent repeated the line, "Don't get married and don't have kids." while I was growing up, often to resounding chuckles. Only later in life did it click just how fucked up and evil that line was.
@Eiswald@Humpleupagus@synapsid yeah i hear that all the time from so many people. "don't get married" and "don't have kids" are supposed to be jokes to them or something but i always have found it kind of disturbing, especially when people say that in front of their spouse and kids.
during the 2020 lockdowns when all the parents had their kids at home, i heard so many of them complaining about how they had to spend more time with their kids WHILE their kids were with them. it's like... you don't think that affects them at all?? fuckin crazy.
I hope that's my tomorrow. I was on the phone all afternoon dealing with a matter. Then had to draft an opinion letter respecting it, and then had to catch up on other work I intended to get done before the phone rang. I worked until 11pm. 😭
@Eiswald@Humpleupagus@synapsid i know man, i'd be hugging my kids and wife and telling them how much i love them every single day. people are pretty wack.
@beardalaxy@Humpleupagus@synapsid I can't imagine viewing my offspring as a burden or with regret or lamenting that I have to spend time with or around them at all. Before boomer politique infected the White zeitgeist every generation wanted to build a better future for their children. My intention is a return to tradition.
@beardalaxy@Humpleupagus@synapsid >especially when people say that in front of their spouse and kids This. This shit is what really pissed me off later on when I realized that they were effectively saying that my siblings and I were a fucking mistake. That they have buyers remorse and even regret for having created us in the first place. >complaining about how they had to spend more time with their kids WHILE their kids were with them These assholes have children but I can't even find a wife. jfc
@Eiswald@Humpleupagus@synapsid i try to rest easy knowing that i'd rather be alone than have a wife like that in a failing marriage like the majority of the adults in my family.
@Humpleupagus@beardalaxy@synapsid Your father's a wise man. One of the other lines we were sold on was 'not being able to afford children' and the magical number when you can afford children was never defined, likely because it was never meant to be defined.
Plus, it's a snare. They've set up the system to keep certain people from having kids, particularly the White Middle Class, while making them believe it's their choice based on economic considerations.
In all seriousness, I want everyone to get married to a good man or woman, have lots of children, and be happy. It's a wonderful thing. It takes two to make it happen though, and they both have to allow it to. Andove is an easy thing to mess up. It's very delicate. If you find it, tend to it. Don't let it die. Life isn't long, and you grow old quick. You'll want someone there by your side when you're older. Don't let the trappings of youth lead you astray.
Yeah. And unfortunately, the communication privilege only goes to communications. It doesn't cover thing they witnessed that weren't communications. So they could volunteer to testify that they saw you kill the hooker, but not what you said about killing her.
@Humpleupagus@synapsid@Hoss >It's all so very economic. "This is mine, that's yours." It's so cold in a way. It is what all American families are or it's just libtard/rich families ?
In California, we follow Spanish, not British law, so all assets acquired by reason of labor of either spouse belong to both spouses.
This doesn't include assets acquired by some other means, e.g. inheritance, or before marriage. So when people come together later in life and have preexisting assets, it's theirs.
Furthermore, there's a sense of distrust among these types because they've been through some traumatic shit usually, i.e. divorce, so they are paranoid about their stuff. They will never find love as a result.
I didn't when we met. We really created it together.
The idea of "community property" is that what each spouse does, their labors, allow the other spouse to do what they to. So if the wife tends to the house and children, that allows the husband to work and earn money. Ergo, the result of the union and the labor of it belongs to both spouses equally.
Plus, she does all of my admin work, including accounting, billing, mailing, document review (for grammar and spelling) etc. She also does all of my notary too. So even my practice is the result of our joint efforts.
Plus, we're generally on the same page and rarely disagree about anything. There's no fighting here.
So we've never really looked at it as a my stuff vs. her stuff issue, and there's never been a dispute that requires it.
My mom does all the financial stuff for my dad too. He has repeatedly declared that he won't even bother filing his returns if he outlives my mom. :marseygigachad:
