That counts misfortune right? If it is business transaction, what does the man get in return? Just family and kids? but that will be broken if divorce right?
It is misfortune. Man gets the feeling that he's fulfilled his obligation of having his own family, wife and kids. That whole dream. Unfortunately, it is a hollow dream. It is about her and her only.
If divorce, its even more painful, because as a dad, you don't want your kids to go through a divorced/broken family sort of an environment, unless you are one of those a-holes type of men.

what does the man get? what does the woman get?
Man gets to tell the world he is married, she gets to milk money and blame him for anything that goes wrong.
He works hard for money, wife say neglected.
He spends time with wife and kids, wife say not working hard enough.
He goes out with friends, wife say he cares only about his friends.
He stays home, wife say no social life.
He does house work, everything is wrong and it is weaponized incompetence.
He doesn't do house work, lazy useless good for nothing bum.
He buys chicken soup when she sick, she say you stupid because soup doesn't cure her.
He becomes sick, he get scolded because he dramatizing his flu.
He wants sex, wife say too tired.
He don't want sex, wife say he neglected my needs, so need to find FWB.
You cheat, its your fault. She cheats, its also your fault.
No matter what, you don't get any appreciation. Just mental and psychological abuse. Everything is your fault.
But sorry Stacy, what housework were you referring to? You were binge watching Grey's Anatomy.
