Why do we get so stupid?

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006 @ 9:10 am | Gender-bender

I've seen marriages breakdown far too many times because of the other woman. I don't know about you, but it sometimes beats me why a man is capable of inflicting so much hurt on another person, especially when that person is someone who has sacrificed at least 20 odd years to build a marriage. You know? Have kids and all, stayed with him through thick and thin, helped build a strong family while he built his careers.

I've known far too many women who started off having fantastic careers, and then somewhere along their marriages, decided it would be best to give it up for the family, and after that when the man's career goes steadily up the ladder, so does the marriage come spiralling down.

20 years, 3 children and a dog later, he walks into the house, out of the blue, and announces it, 'I've met someone else. I want to go with her. I'm divorcing you.'

***

Well, most women emerge strong enough to rebuild their lifes, and look back on what happened with a definite spat of bitterness. But I wonder, I wonder, why on earth do we get so stupid?

Why is it that a 25 year old girl, with plenty of things to run for in life, would settle down with a man who's old enough to be her father?

Is it the money? The promise of a shortcut to branded stuff? That Rolex on your hand? The range of LaMer facial products you get to sport on your table? The Chanel bag you probably would never get to own ever had you chosen to try to make it on your own?

And so you find it PERFECTLY all right to barge in, and take over the place of another woman? Just for the heck of materialistic needs like this?

Why did you get so stupid? Where's the dignity in being such a bitch?

  3. Galvin Says:

    So who do we blame? The man or the bitch?

    Without the bitch, there’s a higher chance being together with the beloved wife ….hmmm…. who who who?

    Men can be such a bastard. Women can be such a bitch.

    It’s the Ying and Yang of life :P

    u cant just point fingers on men, there’s a lot of wives that leaves her husbands for another man. its not fair to assult just men. yes men did that but women did too. as far as i’m concern, gender dosen’t counts. and i think for a marriage to be succesful there should be gives and takes by both sides and one wise man once said : marriage is all about infinite forgivingness…

    uncle cyborg, for your information, my posts are NOT social commentaries. they’re affected by real life occasions, so spare me the lecture on who to talk about, on political-correctness, and get on with life.

    besides, are you blind or what? did you not read my post properly? am I like blaming the man more or the woman more. BECAUSE you do not know who I am because you are a complete stranger I suggest you please think before you write, but because the comments spaces are free and empty, if you want to say what you want, please understand i also will have the freedom to say anythign I want to you.

    i think your comment was completely out of place because i am not blaming any genders here, stick to the context please tqvm.

  6. She Speaks Says:

    please tell me where this bitch stays… so I can go up to her and slap her face! A hard kick in the cunt will help as well.

    email me her address, minishorts.

  7. Robbie Says:

    Marriage doesn’t work, period. U wudn’t need to cover it wif a legal contract otherwise. Humans who stay single find less trouble. Try it if don’t believe.

  8. frostee Says:

    Sometimes I wonder what has gotten into them. Kinda hollow in the membrane I think. Guess it’s pure selfishness. If the tables are turn… they would probably scream bloody murder too and cry foul! Stoooopid selfish people.

  9. Tres Says:

    You sound so stressed in your post, then in your comments to cyborg23.

    Haha.

    Yes, while it’s not the ideal situation, it happens. Shit happens, so what are you going to do about it other than blog about it? Or are you trying to raise awareness that shit like that happens? More importantly than whether it’s a politically correct post or not, is what is your motive for having such a post?

  10. Fireangel Says:

    men suck. I wished I wasnt so damn straight.

  11. minishorts Says:

    Tres: heh? you actually wonder about my motive for posting such a post?

    wah you really nothing better to do. like does it matter?

    *hugs*

  12. Tres Says:

    No. I’m just suspicious and paranoid.

  13. Jeff from LA Says:

    You pose a very interesting question………

    One that I had to think about for a long time before I could even come up with a theory as to why guys who have been long married choose to cheat……..

    The easy and obvious answer is that guys lack self-control and don’t know how to properly deal with temptation when it comes their way in the form of a much younger, attractive female………..

    To be honest, I’m sure that is true for many of the older, married philanderers……..

    But I feel that that answer itself is incomplete………

    Another reason perhaps that men cheat on wives that have sacrificed everything to be with them may be that such guys fail to truly understand the commitment of marriage and the importance of a family…..

    Perhaps the cheating husbands fail to truly realize just how devastating an effect that cheating on their wives has on their children, or fail to realize that marriage is not a short-term commitment or one that only lasts while your spouse is still physically attractive.

    Moreover, I think society these days, tv, etc. does not do its part to demonstrate divorce or broken families as the utter disaster they are.

    Were these men to really realize the importance of their families, their wives, their children, and their legacy, I do not think they would cheat, no matter how attractive the woman.

    Well it could be black magic.

    Either that or the young lady gives a helluva blowjob.

    Heck, I would be sold when I am 50 and my 25 year old lover gives one heck of a mindblowing blowjob while my old haggy wife wouldn’t even let me have anything other than missionary or at all.

    check out this book. interesting read

    Actually… I know a couple… young girl and older man (20 years difference)… very happily married. Although this is probably an exception rather than the rule… they do love each other… very much.

    You can analyze the situation anyway you like… but he man has nothing to offer her. She’s probably better off with some young punk yuppie.

    From what I can see… she’s with him because he brings comfort, balance and joy to her life.

    … love works. Marriage works. Don’t give up on it.

    My mum, who’ve slogged over 25 years for that excuse for a man loved him to bits. Even when he was fucking not one, not two, but three fucking indonesian woman, she still forgave him.

    profanities screamed in my head. i wanted to go down to that hotel and slap dat slut/bitch/whore upside down. actually, i DID go down to that damn hotel. but we never saw her. she didnt dare leave her hotel room.

    i guess for my dad (being that horny idiot he is) never thought of the consequences of his actions. How his children lost respect for him.. and how much hurt he caused his wife who’s been there for him through thick and thin.

    Some men just don’t stop and think. it’s doubly sad that some women don’t think they can do anything to stop them.

  19. Googoo Says:

    I think it’s milk than a man wants to see. It’s so sexy. Imagine if it leaks at night. It may taste better than cow’s milk even. But some girls don’t know about it, not unless they’re lesbians.

  20. NoFat Says:

    Women are to be blamed as well.

    Many women think that after marriage, there’s no need to keep themselves beautiful and sexy and in shape anymore.

    They think that the piece of marriage contract is enough to bind a man’s loyalty.

    They let their body go out of shape, didn’t bother to dress up nicely or sexily or do the necessary to continue attracting the husband. You can grow old, you can grow wrinkles, but there’re ways to age properly and seductively (that’s why there’s this thing called MILFs).

    Growing fat on the other hand is a big no no.

    Any sane men will get sick of fucking a fat piece of porkchoptuboflard.

    Marriage and relationships are lifetime efforts.

    The moment you stop the game after marriage, is where your relationship goes down the drain, thinking that piece of paper is enough to secure you emotionally.

    Love alone is never enough to secure a man’s loyalty.

    Men are also superficial creatures so if you lack that 50 percent of other ingredients to satisfy their superficial cravings, you will lose them eventually.

    It is biologically imprinted into the DNA of men to spread their seed around, to as many good quality receipients as much as possible.

    A disgusting fat tub of overweight lardy pork chop is the last thing in the world you wanna hump or end up humping the rest of your life.

    Minishorts, you will not be spared the agony of dealing with this should you get married and reach 40 one day while Eric probably would start craving for younger pok pok chuis, especially if you don’t take care of your body shape.

    Men dread borking fat women, period. It is the fastest ticket to impotence, by borking an unattractive smelly/stinky tub of lard.

    The other worse type of women are those who’re frigid and refuse to learn other types of love-making skills. Way too many Chinese women will only let you bork them missionary and no oral sex or anything else. Sexual compatibility is another major reason as well for marriage failures.

    When you’re

    1. Fat.
    2. Lousy in bed and unwilling to learn.
    3. Bad attitude.

    You have already contributed at least 50 percent of reasons for men to consider straying.

  21. minishorts Says:

    NoFat: is your gf too fat for you or something? hahahah you’re so funny.

    I’ll also say this here, some of us girls also cannot take men who are tubs of lards. They ought to keep in shape too you know?

    HEHEHE.

  22. jijijaja Says:

    this is continued from jimmytang…if ur talking abt siti & dato’ K…i got some good explainations where comes from my cousin…

    she said siti wanted royalty status even tho she is rich, she dun have that status but she jus kampong girl, form 5 dropout who sing her life to fame…but there is no doubt her voice is excellent..so its no wonder she come to where she is now…

    She is rich now, yes, but everybody knows her fame & wealth comes from being entertainer…a young royalty will not choose her coz royalty usualy select wife from royalty as well……even Dato’ K ex-wife is from the royalty and get some huge compensation close to RM8 Milion from him…

    so the gist is, siti wanted STATUS…and since young royalty wudnt wanted her so the next best thing is Dato’ K lor….

  23. karaoke Says:

    i feel sorry for Dato’ K ex-wife, first she got to be divorced so tat siti can get Datin title…and most important is she borned 4 sons who are her betrayer…..Dato’ K son will grow up to be jus like his dad…i mean wat u expect from sons who cant even have pitty for his own mom?

  24. joe latte Says:

    nofat: hah u are sure funny. because as far as i can see, minishorts never had any womanly body shape NOW. what are you expecting down the line in 20 years? HAH!

    and btw, siti is not a dropout. she only got a grade 3.

  25. Elaine Says:

    This one time, Siti was on an interview in a radio station, this DJ asked her what her favorite magazine were…Siti replied “vogay”…. the DJ repeated after her, “vogay?”

    No seriously..she said “vogay”…it turns out to be Vogue Magazine.

    I just find that hilarious…wanted to share :P

    Anyway i think people cheat on their partners even tho they’ve been through all those years and sacrifices is because they lack appreciation. When ppl climb up higher in the ladder, they tend to forget their roots. And also the fact that when people make sacrifices, it’s a difficult thing because people also tend to forget - forget what the sacrifices were for, how or why it’s made. It’s a type of human error that frequently occurs when one does not use his/her head to think.

  26. minishorts Says:

    excuse me i am not talking about siti please don’t turn this into a gossip column.

  27. Laksa Says:

    There’s no need for a debate on who’s right or wrong or who’s stupid - life and everything along with it are all just a gamble.

    When you tie the knot with someone, you do not know if that person will remain faithful for the rest of his/her lives or when you step into a car, you do not know if you’ll die from an accident or when you take up a job offer, you do not know if the job is the right one for you etc etc.

    You can decide not to risk taking the gamble and live a life that’s safe or take the plunge and see where it takes you.

    IMHO, stupidity has nothing to do with it.

  28. Jade Says:

    I was a 25 year old bitch cuz I used to go out with a married man. But it wasn’t about the money, the Rolex or branded stuff.

    Married men are more experienced and they know what a girl wants. Bear in mind, there are differences between boy, guy and man.

    They make u feel like you are the princess and you are the most important person in his world.

    I pity those ‘bithces’ who has really given out their hearts to those bastards.

    Cuz it really hurt!

  29. planet69 Says:

    jeez….it’s easy to blame someone, esp. the 25-year old ‘other woman’. And some thought that the wife should shoulder some blame….’missionary position’, ‘getting fat’, etc. It it really the man’s fault for philandering? If he would just keep his dick to where it should be, none of this would ever happen…right!?…no!?

    there are always both sides of the story…in this case there are 3 sides, maybe 4 including the childeren’s. All i’m sayin’ is that we can’t be judgin’ any of them. Things happen b’cos of the the choices we make everyday so make it worthwhile

    Anyway…i’m sorry for the children….the hurt will come n go…learn to forgive n forget….life’s too precious to be carrying that burden of hurt.

  30. Hijackqueen Says:

    Different ppl had different perspective they see in life. And ppl change after years.

  31. Rae Says:

    Marriage is but a piece of paper.

    Older men withat FAT pockets and bellies are more attractive.

    Younger women nowadays are aggressive, attractive and manipulative.

    But I think it’s mostly because when it comes to sex, men think with their other head.

  32. jimmytang Says:

    lol….sorry minishort.. its not my intention to turn everything to siti and datuk k haha

  33. senbai Says:

    You can choose to be stupid and rich or you can choose to be honorable and be the bitter wife. However, if you choose to be liberated then you will embrace the “if you can’t fight them, join them” attitude. This means if your man fxck around, maybe you should too.

  34. Michelle Says:

    I would like some one to start a web sight called what does she have that I dont I did all and everything and he still cheated and continues

  35. Jo Says:

    You will be surprised how many families actually face that ugly problem.
    All my young mind can think of is just that the guilty party lacks commitment, integrity and responsibility.

    Bear with my rant:
    Yes, we grow up, we ‘change,’ but ffs, why don’t we make an effort to catch up, to teach one another… to rekindle the flames — or seek marriage counselors, read relevant books, keep ourselves in shape etc? Of course these would follow naturally if you truly love your wife? Are you so immature?

    If all your mind is set on saving your ego instead, or sex with that other woman — then I’m sorry to say that you’re a low, apathetic, selfish and undeserving narcissitic dickhead.

    These men and women are only making excuses for themselves. In fact — they allow themselves to fall in love with the other party. They know better.

    It is truly sad. Marriage is only for ‘real’ men and women.

  36. crapy Says:

    excuse me.. but i once read that love is only a chemistry or chemical whatever thing that can only last for 3 or 7 years ut whether it can last til the end of life or not, it depends on their attitude and whether they match each other or not.
    i once have a roomate because i study overseas and i’m quite surprise that i actually cant stand her because of her behaviour. but after i move out, i dont feel that emotion anymore. i think maybe it’s because some people tends to give in, but people have limitation and maybe they cant stand each other anymore or one of the parties cant stand it anymore, or maybe “the grass at neighbour field is always greener =P” well… that’s my opinion…i dont mean anything bad..just speak out my mind ^^ thank you =) have a nice day

  37. GGGrrrrrr....!!!! Says:

    women.nowadays.are.so.stupid PERIOD! and siti is no exception!
    how could a girl who is so succesful and embrace the whole Eastern Manners end up with some pervert? if u have so many good images on the press and media then why fuck up the whole thing NOW?!!
    and I do wonder why men think with their groins!

  38. Jade Says:

    To GGGrrrrrr….!!!!!:

    May be there’s true love. As an outsider, you will never know how they feel for each others.
