Are you from the US ? I hear so many (soooo many) US men saying the same exact thing. Half of Bill Burr fame comes from marriage stories. Is it the same in every country ? relationship often bring their own madness but the US seem to have their very own kind.

ps: i'm not criticizing anybody btw, and oh I forgot, I saw people giving a lot and receiving nothing back, so I kinda get a bit of your story. It's just the habit of "give me half your money. bye." that gets to me.
