Commitment, Communication, and Compromise

[Modern Day WarriorParticipant 499]

I met a guy today that boasted about being married for 48 years, and he’s a marriage counselor to boot. I have no idea why he felt compelled to explain to me that the key to marriage is commitment, communication, and compromise. I figure that’s what he tells his clients. Here’s how I interpreted his meaning:

Commitment: Stay with her no matter what. Even if she’s an insufferable bitch who’s heading you towards financial ruin while refusing to have sex with you.

Communication: Make sure you listen, and pay attention to what she’s explaining that she needs. Anticipate those needs (i.e., read her mind).

Compromise: Give up your friends, hobbies, and sports, then take up whatever her interests are. If in doubt, always defer to her point of view.

And maybe women could follow this advice:

Commitment: Respect your man, and recognize his efforts. And…I don’t know…maybe don’t monkey branch.

Communication: Say what you mean and don’t expect him to translate everything into what you really meant because “women are mysterious and complex”. Listen to him, and not just your own voice.

Compromise: Admit when you’re wrong. (Yes, I’m serious.) Keep your material “needs” in check so you can live within your means.

The funny thing was, when this gentleman stated he’d been married for 48 years I had to really bite my tongue to not say “I’m so sorry”. F~~~ing tongue is still bleeding.

After 48 years I’m pretty sure he KNOWS marriage is a huge lie. He’s so brainwashed he is still trying to convince himself it’s not. Poor bastard.

Bottom line, he was trolling for business. Either yours or a referral from you to your friends. After all, everyone is married … right? Bet that he can really use more money after 48 years.

I like and appreciate you advice much, much better than his. Thanks for the post.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

3 reasons I will NEVER get married. I think it could be taken down to one point though: Compromise. Commitment and communication are the compromise. Compromise Compromise Compromise for no benefits. No thanks!

What are some other “C” words that deal with marriage?

Chastening – from the wife

Don't care

Thanks GregBo, I didn’t think of that. But trying to sell me on marriage is like trying to sell the Amish on space travel.

a man and a woman in a boat approaching Niagara Falls will have Commitment, Communication, and Compromise. Without a motor they are committed to going over. The woman will communicate and bitch the man out for having a boat with a bad motor, and she will compromise the relations~~~ and get into Captain Save a Ho’s rescue helicopter, leaving the man to go over the falls by himself.

The guy meant Subservient, Silence and Sacrifice. Those three words are what he tells the men. If the men follow these three steps, indeed he should have a decent marriage provided that the wife doesn’t decide one day that she is unhappy with him.
Wonder what he tells the women?

Feminism isn't about equality with men, it's about leverage over men.

What a half wit. He has suppressed his manhood like no other if he’s following his own advice. I bet his wife has cheated on him at least 48 times.

Gambit, it was classic blue pill logic. Like the whole “happy wife happy life” excuse for being totally pussy-whipped. In fact, that’s how I explain MGTOW: It’s the opposite of being pussy-whipped. Guys then immediately get it.

…that the key to marriage is commitment, communication, and compromise.

Those are the keys to marriage for a man who is married not a female, she doesn’t have to do any of that business. THAT’S REALLY WHAT HE WAS SAYING.

He’s a marriage counselor. He has a financial interest in pushing this s~~~.

the key to marriage is commitment, communication, and compromise.

So what?

What matters is this: “What do you get in exchange for all that commitment, communication, and compromise?”

And the answer is this: F~~~ all.

Yes, marriage is a lot of work. He’s telling the truth about that. But it’s a lot of work for no benefit for men whatsoever. He’s lying when he neglects to mention that part.

So after 48 years of committing, communicating, and compromising, what does he have to show for it? Just another s~~~ty marriage.

No thanks. I’d rather Go My Own Way.

No the 3 C’s are
Command – Here are your orders..Execute them per my commands.
Control – As in controlling mission execution according to the commands committed and communicated.
Communications – As in constant confirmation of mission status.

Granted, that is the Military Operations interpretation.
However the same format and interpretation has been applied by both ex-wives and several ex-GF’s as the correct and only interpretation of relationships with them.

The BS of Commitment, Communication, and Compromise as opined by this supposed marriage counselor is what is expected solely of and by the man trapped in an unending mission of spousal gratification.
Needless to say there are several aborted missions in my past do to catastrophic failure to ensure the “commanders” unrealistic expectations and orders.

There was a time in my life when I gave a fuck. Now you have to pay ME for it

It sounds like the slave who’s the carriage driver. Since he doesn’t have to work the cotton fields and he gets to dress nice, slavery isn’t so bad for him. But if he tries to escape the plantation he gets the same whipping other slaves get when they’re caught. Yeah, 48 years worth of divorce rape hanging over your head can give you that perspective, I guess.

Ask him ‘Were these the same qualities that helped you forgive your wife when you caught her affairs?’

A guy that believes in bs like this is either getting cucked – knowingly or unknowingly – or simply promoting his business.

Marriage: Commitment, Communication, and Compromise

Remaining Single: Freedom, Fun, and Financial Security

Choose wisely gentlemen.

No wife = awesome life!

[Fr JackParticipant 926]

For some reason a successful marriage is measured in longevity, 48 years therefore it must be a successful marriage. BULLS~~~,all that means is that 2 people have been together that long, the actual relations~~~ probably ended years ago. But if he were to discover that sweety pie honey bunch has in fact been a tad frivolous with the marriage vows, and ended his marriage, then his marriage counselor creds are toast, and so is his livelihood.

Gold!
I am so keeping that Comment in my mind!

Just before my ex left to go live with her unemployed, high-school dropout Chad, she began the “I’m not happy. My life hasn’t turned out how I’d envisioned it would” whining. Well, since I had not yet found the Red Pill, I figured that the “right” thing to do would be to try counseling. I found a counselor whom I thought would be fair: a man who’d fought in combat in the Vietnam war, who had worked in a number of fields before becoming a counselor. He should be fair and unbiased, right? NOPE! He was a complete, absolute mangina/feminist.

48 years his sole must be crushed.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!
