The Wife Contract. Absolute Perfection

Is it so fucking crazy to have some expectations of your spouse? Or is that the pedophilia of the twenty-first century?

Actually, I guess it is. That explains why so many women-teachers are getting away with molesting thirteen year olds. Women molest kids. Women have all kinds of crazy expectations from their spouses.

Apparently, they’re one in the same.

Here are some female type crazy expectations just off the top of my head.

1. Husbands are expected to buy a house for their princess before the age of 35. Before his age of 35. Hers is irrelevant.
2. Husbands are expected to maintain an erection over a manatee that was once a beautiful young woman and has since racked them up a five figure mortgage payment.
3. Husbands are expected to keep their mouths shut when women open theirs and add another shovelful of dung onto the “Top 10 Dumbest Things Said of All Time” list. Fuck you.

If you ask me, those are some crazy expectations. Here comes the zinger.

There’s a new trend that I am behind five hundred thousand percent. It’s called the “Wife Contract”. I like to imagine it like a pre-nuptial agreement on steroids, but it’s really much more. It’s much more like a marriage counselor on steroids.

Have any of you ever been to a marriage counselor? I’m guessing yes, because you’re here and that means you have a problem putting up with mouth-nonsense just because it’s coming out of a sex-toy. Seriously though, answering woman with anything other than, “you have no fucking idea what you’re talking about,” is demeaning. It’s disingenuous. As a man, you have to admit that.

Marriage counselors are completely full of shit.

I have a friend who’s a marriage counselor. He’s a good guy. He’s quite rich and let me tell you something; he deserves every fucking penny of it. You know that feeling you get right when a woman leans forward like she’s about to say something. That’s his entire fucking job. That’s his life.

According to him, marriage problems are the woman’s fault 98% of the time. The remaining 2%, he says, are because of religious conflicts.

To be fair, I blame men for that. After all, is it not the job of a man somewhere to tell a woman what her religious beliefs are and make sure she understands how to regurgitate them? Is there even a religion where the main God is a woman? If there is, it’s the religion of Happy Hour at the Bar with the Hot Waitress. I think we’re on the same page here. The “Wife Contract” is merely an extension of this principle.

Travis Frey of Iowa, is facing kidnapping charges merely for doing what every man in the world wants: putting some “crazy expectations” of his own into writing and making his wife sign it. Crazy expectations like what I ask?

Be naked for at least 3 hours a day? Yes.
Be cheerful and adoring toward her husband? Yes.
Don’t be a condescending bitch? Well look at that. Yes.

Travis’ even got a fucking incentive program all built in! Described as Good Behavior Days, said wife can cash in on actions above and beyond the call of wifery whenever she pleases. It’s like getting frequent flier miles just for doing your goddamn job.

All women should be so lucky.

    I completely agree here. I was engaged a while back to whom I thought was a nice woman. She ended up cheating on me.

    We went to counseling (of course, everyone’s doing it LOL, what a fucking waste of time). Anyways it turns out that she thought the counselor and I were ganging up on her? What’s this you say, her cheating on me was MY fault somehow? I won’t even go into how the fuck she rationalized her cheating, but the conservative counselor told her things she can do to make our relationship better.

    She was furious when she heard the counselor say that she needed to be more proactive in our lovemaking and give it to me more. She was also furious when he told her that there is no excuse for cheating.

    Long story short, she cheated on me because I was writing my PhD thesis and put planning the wedding on hold for 1 month. Of course it resumed as I said it would after I defended, but then I found out that she cheated on me. Then a few months later we went to counseling and I heard the counselo say all the things that previously came out of my smart man mouth to her.

    Marriage contracts are needed because women are impatient selfish little children that only think of their needs.

    Screw waiting 1 month so that I could get my PhD and make 3 times what I was making. No little princess had to have it all right away, you know during the time when I had one all nighter at least once a week.

    Women are so amazingly selfish it sickens me. They want their stupid little house with their stupid little fence and stupid little kids and stupid little shit to put in their aforementioned stupid little house, but God forbid you spend any time away from them to acquire the means to this stupid little end. I believe the most fundamental flaw in women is a mental disconnect between cause and effect. May God have mercy on their stupid little souls.

  4. Ben Says:

    I’ve heard about and read through that wife contract. The way i see it, it was a great idea but the guy became a little over zealous. Even in that aspect i understand what he was getting at. Men are able to convey their thoughts to others by using a reletively short term of expression. On the other hand women seem incapable of articulating their thoughts on any intelligent level, resulting in a long, drawn out mass of words and an inability to understand the concept of simple, meaningful sentences.

    So what this guy did, in an effort to pander to that, outlined very, very specifically what his wife was and was not aloud to do, and what was expected of her. However i still believe that what he was trying to accomplish could have been conveyed with a much shorter, more vague version, one that was easier to swallow. Simple things like “sex is expected when appropriate”, “meals are to be palatable and regular”, etc. etc. If she signs the thing he can make his intentions blatantly obvious when she does not follow them. I’d better stop before I become overzealous.

    In any case, a similar document should be the norm, rather than an anomaly, and it should be an option right there with the pre-nup, or even included within it.

  5. Fem Says:

    And you wonder why women do not want to get married these days? Wake up you pathetic excuses of men, what this guy wanted and what you all want is a fucking slave. You don’t give a fuck about what the women may want or desire, in fact, it doesn’t seem to factor into your antshit sized brains that women are in fact, human, and therefore, have the same rights as you do, to do what the fuck they want, when they fucking want to. So shut your pathetic, moaning mouths up before someone does you a huge fucking favour and smacks you in the mouth.

    Good grief. I remember finishing my thesis and dealing with the stress of anticipating the defense as being one of the most stressful times of my life. For your fiancee to do that, then you were willing to go to counseling… words fail me. I thought I was a patient man, but you, Lukasz, take the cake.

    Ben: yeah, he was a little too explicit, and IMO, wayyy too focussed on sex specifics. Apart from that, good concept. Sets out what’s expected of her. Should be a default part of every prenup. I’ve no objection if there’s a similar document provided for men — you’re expected to take care of her, to protect her, and earn a living to support a family provided you’ve finished your education. It’s what we all do anyway, being men.

  7. Fem Says:

    Hey Dick, I really don’t think your friend can be that good a marriage counsellor if he (1) associates with prejucided people such as yourself; (2) never blames men for problems in marriages. It seems obvious that he has not examined his own biases inherent in being a male. What a great big fucking suprise.

  8. Dan Says:

    And you wonder why women do not want to get married these days?

    The only goal a woman has in life is to get married. You think men are pushing for marriage? Get a grip.

    …to do what the fuck they want, when they fucking want to.

    Ummm…no. Marriage is exactly the opposite of that. Not doing whatever the fuck you want, and sometimes doing things you don’t want to do. A less selfish person would understand this.

    Verbal diarrhea is the most suitable term to explain this superfluous use of the english language. And this is from the “worlds greatest communicator” according to lying feminists.

  11. christianj Says:

    The New Marriage Con-tract.

    “A woman can, at any time,
    dismiss her male partner, without justification, and have that partner imprisoned if he objects too strongly to his dismissal.

    For example, if he raises his voice in anger he may be arrested for ‘domestic violence’.

    In any event, a woman can dismiss the man regardless of the circumstances, and at her sole discretion.

    She can fire him from his jobs as father and partner, whenever she wishes, no matter how long he has served the family, and even if he has done absolutely nothing wrong.

    Further, the woman can insist that the man is evicted from his own house, and never allowed to re-enter it.

    She can make him homeless knowing there are no services to help him.

    If she has children, a woman may further demand that her sacked partner must, under threat of imprisonment, forfeit part of any future income to the woman and her children for some considerable time into the future - and this is the case even if her children turn out not to be his.”

  12. Lukasz Says:

    I agree with the men here.

    Marriage and any LTR is all about the MAN making sacrifices. He has to not do many things anymore because the SO wants him to not do them anymore, alot of those things happen to make him who he is. It’s funny but women make NO or hardly any sacrifices except for not spreading her legs for random guys anymore (well a little less than half of the women according to most studies). He also now has to do alot of things that he doesn;t want to do but she wants. Why doesn’t she do this for him?

    With the woman I was engaged to she wanted me to give up video games, beer making, seeing my family because she didn’t like them (that’s right), leisurely reading, playing in roller hockey or ice hockey leagues and as my first post said basically jeapordizing my career because she wanted it all right away.

    Of course I didn’t do any of that because I still was always very productive both at home and at work, I said if my productivity suffers I will cut back on extracurricular activities, afterall I got this far without her nagging me.

    where were her sacrifices? Men don’t ask women to give shit up unless it’s detrimental to their health. And it is common courtesy to cut out flirting with the opposite sex, that’s no sacrifice, just manners.

    I see this all the time, women have everything to gain and men have everything to lose in a relationship.

    And it surprises women why men think twice now about getting hitched?

    Of course we want a marriage contract, otherwise we don’t get anything out of marriage. Funny thing is men are alot better at raising children alone than women, I’m not surprised that more men aren’t finding surrogate mothers to have a child for them so that the men can actually raise children properly and not fuck it up like most single mothers do.

    What DO women want, do they even know?

    Too many women seem to want whatever the next bitch has, whether its her nice big house, SUV, same haircut/dress/handbag. They see men as a means to obtain these things.

    As a consequence, men have lost interest. If women want to aimlesly walk around thinking “Yeah, my fake Prada bag is better than your fake Louis Vuitton bag hahaha” Fine, go ahead. Designer handbags are the very last thing men look for in a woman. (Oh and Fem, spare us the cleavage jokes here pls.)

    So don’t ask us to pay for that manner of selfish bullshit.

    Of course, not all women behave that way. Thank goodness for that. However, an increasing number are going down that road now. It’s disturbing, to say the least.

    Please tell me James what the advantages to marriage are then? I will list off a couple of things that seriously shit me when I was in a De facto “marriage” which actually put me off getting married.

    1. Clothes everywhere. Man doesn’t know what a warddrobe is for.

    2. Man drops clothes on the floor, right next to the laundry hamper. That is correct. Right next to it. The hamper had no lid. Could he not have moved his arm to the left or right 10cms before releasing his grip? Apparently not.

    3. Constant questioning, where have you been, who are you going out with etc etc.

    4. Talking at me. Not to me, but at me. This one was significantly irritating.

    5. Male resentment towards me because I earned more money than he did. And of course, I was expected to feel guilty and wrong for doing so and make it up to him by providing extra comfort (read that as sex)

    6. Constant sexual demands. Constant groping, couldn’t walk past him without getting grabbed or pawed. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am far from frigid, but it gets a bit much when it is every single time you are talking to someone.

    7. Had to counsel his mother. He refused to speak with her and everytime she rang, it fell on me to chat with her. For at least an hour at a time, while he watched sports.

    8. Whinging at me to get married, fall pregnant etc etc. He was like 24 at the time, renting and there is no way in hell he could have afforded to support a family. Deluded.

    These are just off the top of my head. If you’ve got a spare 5 hours, I’ll go through the rest.

    1. Clothes everywhere. Man doesn’t know what a warddrobe is for.

    We do however we simply don’t care,I know that when I get home after working for 8-14 hours a day (hauling concrete or moving furniture), the last thing I am thinking of is where the fuck my dirty clothes go. Why don’t you get your ass up and put them away for me? The “warddrobe” (sic) is the last thing on my mind. Shower, Food, Beer thats that.

    2. Man drops clothes on the floor, right next to the laundry hamper. That is correct. Right next to it. The hamper had no lid. Could he not have moved his arm to the left or right 10cms before releasing his grip? Apparently not.

    I guess not, why is that such a big deal to you? It can be picked up tomorrow as well.

    3. Constant questioning, where have you been, who are you going out with etc etc.

    Wow, imagine that, a man that cares about you asking what you are doing….

    4. Talking at me. Not to me, but at me. This one was significantly irritating.

    Something I imagine you have never done before Fem, honestly this is probably one of the more hypocritical statements on this post.

    5. Male resentment towards me because I earned more money than he did. And of course, I was expected to feel guilty and wrong for doing so and make it up to him by providing extra comfort (read that as sex)

    So what? You seem to have a bad choice in men, is that all mens fault or your own?

    6. Constant sexual demands. Constant groping, couldn’t walk past him without getting grabbed or pawed. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am far from frigid, but it gets a bit much when it is every single time you are talking to someone.

    God forbid that a man desires his woman, no, no, I imagine that its up to you to make all of the moves in the relationship, or did you make ANY? Maybe thats why that is?

    7. Had to counsel his mother. He refused to speak with her and everytime she rang, it fell on me to chat with her. For at least an hour at a time, while he watched sports.

    I have never had that problem myself once again this falls into your choices of men.

    Well said Abaddon. I’ll add my 2 cents, since this is actually one of Female’s most intelligent posts of late.

    1. Clothes everywhere. Man doesn’t know what a warddrobe [sic] is for.

    Don’t be silly. Men know that wardrobes are antiques used to reach the mystical land of Narnia.

    What Abaddon said. I make sure very expensive and dry-cleaned clothes are neatly hung/folded; the rest are placed appropriately. The floor is not a bad place, especially if it’s clean. This has the added bonus that if you spill some beer, there’s something nearby to soak it up. (OK, I’m kidding about the last).

    2. Man drops clothes on the floor, right next to the laundry hamper. That is correct. Right next to it. The hamper had no lid. Could he not have moved his arm to the left or right 10cms before releasing his grip? Apparently not.

    Be grateful he altered his life to attempt to accommodate your strange “laundry hamper” fetish. Maybe he was tossing the clothes at the hamper and missed. Maybe he didn’t notice. The fact that he was consistently getting clothes within 10-20cm of your mystic “laundry hamper” when he previously presumably (like any sane man) tossed them wherever indicates he was meeting you far more than halfway.

    3. Constant questioning, where have you been, who are you going out with etc etc.

    He’s concerned for your safety, and, yes, possibly concerned and insecure about faithfulness. Be proactive, tell him. It’s legitimate to ask him the same questions, though you should tread lightly here and get him used to it slowly.

    4. Talking at me. Not to me, but at me. This one was significantly irritating.

    I think this is some strange female problem that can’t rationally be understood. If you mean he was condescending, then I suspect you were arrogant. Either that, or you chose the wrong man, but I’d put good money on it being in large part perception problems on your part. Seriously.

    5. Male resentment towards me because I earned more money than he did. And of course, I was expected to feel guilty and wrong for doing so and make it up to him by providing extra comfort (read that as sex)

    Sucks. Yep, he should be more secure, but, there are good evolutionary reasons for him to feel that way, and it comes down to a bad choice for you — and him.

    6. Constant sexual demands. Constant groping, couldn’t walk past him without getting grabbed or pawed. Now, don’t get me wrong, I am far from frigid, but it gets a bit much when it is every single time you are talking to someone.

    Be grateful he was physically demonstrative. I’d again put good odds that you were sending him some very mixed signals.

    If a woman I love — my wife in your example — walked near me, yes, I’d be physical. It certainly wouldn’t always be a “grope” or “paw” — though it might be now and then. It might be a caress of the neck, a stroke of her hair, touching the small of her back, or even ostentatiously smelling her perfume.

    If that bothers you, then yes, I’d say most would describe you as frigid with issues. Whether or not they’d be right to do so is another matter.

    7. Had to counsel his mother. He refused to speak with her and everytime she rang, it fell on me to chat with her. For at least an hour at a time, while he watched sports.

    This isn’t the biggest single reason to get married? Like it or not, women tend to handle the “relationship stuff” and men simply aren’t interested in hour-long chats with their mothers or anyone else. You were willing to, so it fell to you indeed. Maybe a wrong choice of man if you couldn’t say no to his mother, or maybe a problem you have. For him to take the path of least resistance on a relationship issue is hardly surprising.

    8. Whinging at me to get married, fall pregnant etc etc. He was like 24 at the time, renting and there is no way in hell he could have afforded to support a family. Deluded.

    Maybe he was insecure and wanted to tie you down. Maybe he wanted to draw you near the further you sought to push him away. Who cares. Again: BAD CHOICE OF MAN ON YOUR PART.

    These are just off the top of my head. If you’ve got a spare 5 hours, I’ll go through the rest.

    I can’t believe how arrogant you men are. I must be an idiot to still be surprised at this.

    1. When I get home from gym (after my FULL, yes you read that correctly, WORK, yes again, I did say work, DAY, yes 5 days a week) I too am exhausted and prefer to rip my clothes off and throw them on the floor. However, after that happens, amazingly, somehow I find the visual observation skills, intense concentration and physical strength to pick those clothes up and put them in my mystical hamper. Don’t ask me how, it’s a natural talent, I guess.

    In response to your chauvinistic responses, why should I also be required to take up the man’s slack here and also pick up his clothes? Try and give me at least one non-misogynist reason. Let’s see if you can do at least that for once.

    2. Yes, he did throw them at the hamper and he was a very bad shot. This is when he remembered a hamper existed. Mostly he just stepped out of them, wherever, kitchen, loungeroom, made no difference really. I guess he must have figured he was actually standing in the hamper when he was getting out of his clothes. I know you can’t read real good, but if you could, you would have realised I said, CLOTHES EVERYWHERE. My poor, neglected hamper.

    3. Constant questioning. He was a journalist, so I forgave his daily inquisitions, however, you infer that I did give him my daily itinerary and this is why he questioned me. Not true, I told him where/when/who etc, it seems however that either he wasn’t listening when I did so, or as I suspect he was doing, was double-checking to see if my story changed.

    This is definately an insecurity issue and it was unfounded. Warning for all you men out there incapable of trusting women - act like you can’t trust her and you may eventually find that you justifiably, cannot.

    4. Talking at me. Not to me, but at me. This one was significantly irritating.

    I think this is some strange female problem that can’t rationally be understood. If you mean he was condescending, then I suspect you were arrogant. Either that, or you chose the wrong man, but I’d put good money on it being in large part perception problems on your part. Seriously.

    No suprises that that is your perception wolfe. I would be suprised if it wasn’t, and, you are wrong. When somebody ignores what you say and constantly interrupts you, this means they are speaking at you.

    5. I agree, bad choice and so I did what all responsible women do, I ended it. And no, I did not cheat on him or use an excuse that I had. I told him honestly why this was never going to work and you know what, I severely regretted doing that afterwards. Men cannot handle the truth. The male ego at this stage of evolution just cannot take it.

    6.

    Be grateful he was physically demonstrative. I’d again put good odds that you were sending him some very mixed signals.

    Like what, walking past him means I want him to rip his damn clothes off, throw them in the hamper and get busy wit it?

    If a woman I love — my wife in your example — walked near me, yes, I’d be physical. It certainly wouldn’t always be a “grope� or “paw� — though it might be now and then. It might be a caress of the neck, a stroke of her hair, touching the small of her back, or even ostentatiously smelling her perfume.

    If that bothers you, then yes, I’d say most would describe you as frigid with issues. Whether or not they’d be right to do so is another matter.

    wolfe, you have described affectionate behaviours, I was talking about SEXUAL behaviours. There is a big difference. I am not so daft that I cannot tell the difference. I do not have a problem with what you have described, so sorry to disappoint but you would be wrong in thinking I am neurotic and frigid. What I have a problem with is no affectionate behaviours and all behaviours being sexual. I put this down to his age at the time, and his incredible libido. Which, one the one hand was fantastic and cannot be faulted, however, that also had a large downside.

    if you couldn’t say no to his mother, or maybe a problem you have.

    Please. What, should I have been rude to her instead then? Don’t answer, I don’t want to hear your response, and neither do any publishers, it will just be condescending and way off the mark.

    As for the comment about not being too tired to go to the gym, well, maybe I don’t get exhausted at work precisely because 1. I am fit and 2. I work smarter, not harder.

    hurm…

    Because she’s an idiot.

    Making a bad choice does not mean you’ve chosen something that is bad.

    If you want a high performance car and choose a 1.2litre granny carrier that barely makes it past 85MPH, that doesnt mean that there is anything wrong with the car, that just means you’ve made the wrong choice.

    The problem with women is that they want a high performance car that is economical, has excellent road handling with a soft wide, that is fully specced yet costs next to nothing, and that looks sporty yet can carry a weeks shopping.

    Thats called setting yourself up for a disappointment and thats another thing that women do very well.

    They also want it to fly and make them skinny without hurting their self-esteem.

    LOL. Speaking of female self-esteem, how about a contribution to the Dove self esteem fund?

    Phoeey abaddon. Obviously I don’t like arguing but you were clearly both trying to change my mind and start a battle with me. e.g.

    Hmm, no Fem I was trying to show you that MAYBE, just maybe you are taking things too seriously. I was explaining (i’ll use smaller words next time) that some men when they get home(like myself) are extremely TIRED because they have to work at physically exhausting jobs. I was also trying to tell you that “MAYBE” you made the wrong choice for a partner.

    Like abaddon, I was only trying to make you think and see other perspectives. Some of what you said was valid, some of it wasn’t, and some of it you’d have to work very hard and look carefully at men to ensure you make a good choice.

    Yeah, you’ve made me think. Seriously.

    Good. Glad to hear it.

    Enya, these men are a waste of time talking to. You will notice that they failed to answer my question. No suprise.

    I don’t remember posting any comments on this article, so I am not sure why Fem is addressing me.

    To be honest I think these guys have a point. You bring up some things that are a bit … well, unimportant. Whether or not a guy manages to get his clothes into a wash-basket (annoying as though that may be) does not really matter in the long run. That comment does not apply to all men either, for example I live with a guy who is very, very tidy, even to anal standards, I would bet that my flatmate would put his clothes in the wash-basket.

    Also, the issue with things like constant sexual commands does sound like you picked the wrong kind of partner for you… some people are more demanding in this area than others, this is not male-specific. Some women are demanding in this respect too, from what I understand.

    I don’t think it is a bad idea to draw up a more specific contract for marriage, but there should be one for women and men too. These should not be hard rules as to how many nights a week you should have sex or whatever, but a communication of what your basic needs are so that you both know where your expectations stand. Like it or not, everyone has expectations of a marriage. Makes sense to outline them from the outset. The example above is a bit over the top, really. The basic idea is not bad though. Would be interesting to pilot….

    I agree. I think I even said as much somewhere above.

    Agreed. It won’t solve all problems, or even a majority, but it will solve more than it creates.

    I don’t disagree with discussing what each expects and hopes from their partner and a marriage, or writing this down if it helps them to elaborate on it and remember it, but I think a signed contract is going a bit far.

    The man in Dick’s story is a bonafide nutjob.

  42. Dick Masterson Says:

    But a signed contract of marriage is not far enough, right?

    Jesus, you’re full of shit, Femme.

  43. abaddon_fff Says:

    No many women just prefer to have enough wiggle room, to take her husband to the cleaners. A marriage contract would be avoided like the plague to them because it forces them to actually do what they SAY and not recieve any “entitlements” .

    Laundry hampers? Clothing on the floor? “Why don’t you put them away for me”?

    Here’s the key, ladies. We don’t care about clothes sitting on the floor. Isn’t it obvious? We just don’t care. Do you understand? In the same way you don’t care about who won the game last night.

    I understand it’s one of your major priorities. Can you understand that for men it is not? Anything we do with the laundry is done to accomodate *you*. In fact, most of what gets done in the house is the same way. From our perspective, you’re constantly freaking out over trivial matters.

    Here’s another difference between men and women: we tend to put up with it and try to accomodate our partner. Many of you have to have everything your own way. Many of you don’t hestitate to make life
