Excellent thoughts and input by bros here!
Some wisdom I've learned in the past year or two. As husbands (and for a former husband myself), our duty is to grind and provide for the family. Unfortunately the female mind is fickle and many women live in the moment and make decisions based on how they feel, which is especially true with modern women. In order to keep things interesting in a long term relationship (married or not), one has to sometimes give your woman salt instead of sugar, so she knows the taste and appreciation of sugar (and by salt, I don't mean savory jizz). By doing this you create a bit of a roller coaster of emotions that keeps her hooked. If you're the type to spoil a woman, she won't appreciate it and look down upon you because you put her on a pedestal (cough cough, bros who bring K gals potted plant flowers or humongous stuffed dolls).
Some say happy wife happy life, is BS (but of course you say that in front of her to give her the illusion). At the same time you also have to keep exerting your masculinity. The moment you no longer hold the cards in the relationship, and the moment she starts losing respect for you, is when the dynamic shifts and she has more of the masculine energy (and you lose the ability to make her more feminine), it's pretty much over. And I don't just mean dominate her in the bedroom. As to how to do and maintain this, that's up to you to figure out since the dynamics in any relationship differ.
So many sad and sob stories of men who provide for their women, only to find out she really belongs to the streets. Gosh look at my previous story, fell for a married chick, made her cum so hard for the first time we both got addictive to the dopamine hit....the poor husband, I feel for breaking up that marriage, but it took me and my pipe for her to figure out she wasn't in the right place nor happy. He couldn't make her feminine, but I did to some extent (to be fair, damaged women can only go so far). Before and after hooking up with the married chick, I mongered. LOL. So many guys have given up on modern women and dating and decide to focus on themselves instead. Don't know how many of you have tried dating apps and got lucky, but it looks like a trash heap out there right now with so many seeking attention. So if you have something great at home, try not to wreck it. If you have something just mediocre, either work out an exit strategy, or just try to make it work (especially if you have kids). And determine whether the price of freedom by detaching from the process, is worth it (divorce is one of the worst things to go through in life).
As far as a therapist costing $250 to $300 / hr.... a K gal could technically be your therapist too in that regard. I mean a lawyer to consult in divorce mediation may run $500 an hour on average and that's on the low side.... Some of the K ladies know you dudes are married or they will flat out ask (I remember mongering during the divorce process and chatted with a few chicks briefly about my soon to be ex wife). And it is perfectly fine to spill your guts and bitch about the bitch at home, after you spill your load on her, perhaps before round 2 happens. For the price of a legit therapist you can unload your emotions (and your load) on her, and get a massage. Sure you won't get a solution, but you'll give giving her a "solution" from your pipe. Or figure out that opportunity cost towards something else, whether it's a Michelin star dinner, a nice bottle of wine, investing in high yield funds, maybe some fancy gadget (ie not a female sex robot or real doll).
It also could be that we've done all we can in a relationship / marriage, but the system is never in our favor. Mongering doesn't mean beta behavior although it may be seen by alpha's as such.
Stay woke my brothers.
