Growing up is realizing everything not meant for you.
WHO BENEFITS FROM MARRIAGE? He's 68 years old. Retired pensioner. Worked all his life to raise his kids. Deprived himself of life's pleasures to pay expensive school fees and living expenses for his kids abroad. They are now well-off in Europe and America. His wife, 60, has relocated to live with her kids. He's alone back in Kenya. His kids barely call him. He now has to start life all over as a bachelor. He struggles with high blood pressure and other old age ailments. How long more would he survive alone? This is the reality for most working class monogamous men. Their old age is usually lonely and in many cases, sad. Try as you may, women love their kids more than their husbands, no matter how good the man is. The older he gets, the less use they have for him. Tell me then, what do men benefit from marriage? They sacrifice so much but get little recognition for the hard work. The woman reaps all the benefits as the kids are often closer and more affectionate towards her when she becomes old. As a man, know this. Your kids are your wife's children. You are only helping her raise them. When last did you speak with your father? But a week wouldn't go by without hearing from your mom. What is a man's gain when he sacrifices so much but gets little or nothing in return? Well, that's patriarchy. It demands the man literally gives up his happiness, pleasures, resources and life for women and children. Just make enough for your old age, just in case. Men are you ready for this discussion? #shared
