I swear to God that I am not saying this because I'm an angry incel, or because I am jealous of people with wives:
This is literally every single married man close to my age that I have seen. They have virtually nothing. Everything they own they have to put in their wife's name. They have no say in how to bring up the children and anything related to them such as school or what they do in their free time or anything else, the children are the property of the mother and that father's only function is that of an ATM machine.
They are cut off from their families and have to spend most (if not all) occasions with the wife's family.
They do not have free time, they do not have a time of their own to do their own things and hobbies, they cannot rest on weekends because they have to take the wife shopping or to her parents' place or something like that.
The wife doesn't spend any of her income on the family expenses. It has become an established custom in Iran that the woman's money is for herself to spend on cosmetics and clothing an whatever she wants, and it is the husband's duty to provide for the family, pay the bills, AND ALSO buy her clothes and jewelry and cosmetics and whatnot. It is his duty as a husband.
I actually think marriages are a lot worse in Iran regarding equality, specially the last part about the woman's income being completely hers and them refusing to spend it on bills and other expenses.
Even as far as last year, I knew it was bad, but I didn't know just how bad it was and I didn't know just how fucking AWALT all these things are. In my new work place I've been working at for about 9 months I have been acquaintances with a few foids for the first time in my life and the amount of blackpill and ragefuel I obtain daily has been insane and very eye-opening. There is basically no way that you can win in a marriage as a man in 2024 unless you get to have Taliban-like control over the foid.
