A harsh quote on why so many women remained unmarried.
About why we have so many wise, beautiful, unmarried women.
And why do men suffer more from this? I look at the comments on articles about relationships and realize that there are fewer and fewer people for whom family values are a priority today. It seems like everyone is on their own. There's a trend towards separate finances. Rarely do you find families where each person brings money home and puts it in the drawer or cabinet. Wives often don’t know how much their husbands earn. And husbands aren’t interested in their wives' income. Only when it comes to mortgage issues does everything change. And again, it all boils down to money.
How was it before?
Women took care of the household, and more often than not, it was men who primarily provided for the family financially. Even if the wife worked too, the husband's career still took precedence. Meanwhile, women were just as exhausted at work but still managed to take care of the home and the children. Of course, it was hard. Some might say, 'Look at Soviet women!
They are bright and beautiful, and they..
They were always on time, and the homemakers were excellent. And they didn't whine, nor complain! But that's true, who said it was easy for them? Today, women strive to build a career, take care of themselves, and fortunately, there are many opportunities now. Everyone has their interests. And if a woman is intelligent, successful, and beautiful, she isn't interested in spending half a day at the stove; she would rather order ready-made food and engage in her more interesting affairs. Women grow and develop. I'm not saying that men don't do this. But often they lag behind their wives in this regard. And, of course, a woman wants her man to be at her level or even higher. Yet men, besides successful women, often feel defeated. How many cases are there when a husband leaves a beautiful and successful wife for a simple mistress who has no ambitions or a successful career? And he justifies himself by saying that his wife only thinks about her work, while he needs affection, home warmth, and comfort. And the wife doesn't even bake pies or cook dishes for her beloved husband. Well, listen, those days are gone when good food could be on the table for their husbands.
One woman said she got bored with her husband.
There was only food to eat at home, and everything else, especially ready-made food, was better not to buy. Now there is so much delicious food, and it's not just fast food; it's not a big deal to find tasty homemade food, whether it's traditional dishes or cutlets with mashed potatoes. So complaining that the wife doesn't cook is somehow even stranger. This means it's not the issue. Of course, there's nothing wrong with the husband earning less than the wife; the problem is that he stops striving for personal growth and development. One woman said she got bored with her husband. He got a new job as a driver for a foreigner. The husband thinks he's fortunate. There isn't much work. In the morning, he has to take the kids to school and kindergarten, and then drive the boss's wife to work. In the evening, he picks everyone up. During the day, he goes grocery shopping, but not every day. And the pay for this is excellent. So when a man doesn't have work during the day, he just sleeps in the car, and at night, when he doesn't want to sleep anymore, he watches videos. Those meaningless video clips on the phone. And she got bored with him. There’s nothing to talk about. He could at least read a book while he has no job. But he says that now he brings in a lot of money so that his wife can be happy and not complain. And she says that her husband has simply relaxed, spending evenings only with the TV and phone.

The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young" - Henry Ford.
Many women are not married.
Many women are not married, some are divorced, and no longer want to marry, others are in relationships with men but don't want to get married, or even live together with them. They say they are fine as they are. Some have children, and they are doing fine too, living without problems. I won't know that this is good, I still believe in family values. And of course, every person should never stop developing, if opportunities allow, and if they are healthy. But why do many men not want this, believing that if they have money, any woman will be happy with them? But women can be bored, and many modern women can provide for themselves, their children, and even their husbands. So something else is needed. “In the West, women are traditionally more interesting than men. Men in this country are lazy and incurious, while ladies are well-educated and interested in everything. And why do men suffer more from this? Because they often drown in loneliness with alcohol. A woman after a divorce, even when the children have grown up and have their own families, might feel lonely, but most likely she won't reach for a bottle like a man would; instead, she will get a cat or a dog, start growing flowers, then plant vegetables, in general, find herself something to do.
