i had a novel typed out but I’ll simplify it. It’s still going to be a novel FYI
- You are NEVER ready to be a father and husband. No books or podcasts will ever prepare you for pulling a baby out of a vagina. That first $1300 daycare bill (per kid / per month) will give you a heart attack. Youre never prepared to sleep 2 hours a night for 3 months straight while working 40 hours a week (if you’re lucky and your kid actually sleeps after 3 months)
- Being single is easy and safe, but it’s not rewarding. The only people who care about your money and accolades are other superficial adults. You can keep your wall up and be selfish 24/7 but one day you’re gonna be 55 years old in an empty house. You realize you will die alone and nobody will care. Your dogs might eat your corpse because nobody will even know you kicked the bucket and you just sit in the recliner for 2 weeks until the smell scares your neighbors.
- Having a wife and kids is awesome if you don’t pick the wrong ones. A lot of guys will choose the spoiled ass rich girl with fake tits, and then be surprised when she’s a bitch who only cares about money. You can NOT think with your dick. There are girls who swallow your kids, and there are girls who raise your kids. LEARN THE DIFFERENCE. If she didn’t grow up with a father, don’t even pay attention to her. There’s so much data out there to help you pick the right woman. She might not fuck like a pornstar, but that shouldn’t be your priority when you choose the mother of your seed.
- Your kids are the ONLY people on earth who will love you no matter what if you’re a good person. They’ll even love you if you’re a piece of shit until they get older. They don’t care about your height or bank account. Your kids don’t care if you’re ugly or skinny. You are a superhero in their eyes. After the worst days of my life, nothing is better than coming home to my son wanting to play fight. You see true joy and innocence. Your kids are YOU, but you have a chance to give them the parents that you feel like you deserved.
It’s not easy and it’s not always fun. TBH I think a lot of people should not have kids. Too many people have their own unaddressed problems that will make them terrible parents. I’ve been with 100+ women and only 5 of them were wife material. It’s 2024 and the numbers are not in our favor. Don’t rush into it.
But you and your wife need to talk about: finances, religion, parenting, family, long term goals, and intimacy. A lot of guys think that a chick is wife material because she sucks dick and cooks. Then they realize that’s only a fraction of a relationship. You don’t have to agree on everything but you need to discuss it. And remember. YOU MARRY THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU. Not the person you “think” you can convince them to be.
