Louis CK - My Marriage

[@fountane]

My parents have been happily married for 24 years, and it's a traditional marriage where my Dad is a business man and makes all the money, and my Mom just stays home and cleans and took care of my brother and I when we were younger. And everyone understood what goes on. Mom makes dinner every single night, she cleans the house, does some other random stuff that needs doing, then she does whatever she wants. We would all agree that Dad was the bankruptcy trustee that makes the dough, and Mom was the Domestic Engineer who used to be a teacher, but doesn't work anymore, and no one was offended because we're not insane.

[@StereoMonolith1]

Devin Taylor Thank the political left for undermining traditional marriage.

[@fountane]

Looks like someone's projecting. You jealous or something? Your parents marriage didn't work out?

[@Buckarew]

Geraldo Costa is everything you don't necessarily agree with pure evil?

[@fountane]

bj0rn Now imagine not being a shitty person that deserves what they get.

[@DEUCALION109]

bj0rn the proble There is that you're seeing it as a "transaction"; ideally, you'd do you work and provide for your family because you want to, not because that will grant you some sort of reward. I say ideally because in reality it isn't that simple, we are all expecting something f from someone else and all that... The solution would be to put all the cards above the table, talk shit out in the most detailed and civilized way, and bring the topic of "expectations", and try to build up from that point on But who knows, sometimes everything just blows up

[@youngThrashbarg]

If he's the breadwinner he catches hell for mentioning it. But if he had no job and she was the breadwinner.. she would dump him and leave with the kids in a heartbeat.

[@fernie51296]

youngThrashbarg yup

[@mmkarima112995]

And he did do that

[@jeffrichey3623]

1000% true.

[@2126Eliza]

Not if he's caring for kids.

[@nickdipaolofan5948]

yup, and you BETTER believe that she would be mentioning that she is the breadwinner all the time. Every time the man bought something she thinks is excessive, she will confront his ass and remind him he needs permission to spend HER money. When they go out to dinner, she will likely insist she gets the check just to emasculate him in front of others at the table. When a woman is the breadwinner, it is not "their" money but when the man is the breadwinner it is "their" money.

[@jomay78]

I fucking love this guy for his honesty.

[@gginpar]

my exact same though. All truth, no fluff...

[@cadmus777]

This was before he got divorced. While he was being completely honest, and many of us completely agree with him, her hearing it like this would probably be enough for her to make the call. Ballsy to be a comedian and still expect to maintan a 'normal' relationship...

[@travismcnasty51]

Yeah, but they didn't go through a lawyer and a judge. Those people just want to make things as expensive as possible so they get paid. Louis and his ex wife talked to a mediator, who basically keeps everything civil and no one murders the spouse or the kids.

The marriage is the basis of a healthy, happy family. The minute you subjugate it to your kids, you're done. Not surprised they're divorced. I don't know how people don't get this. Your kids will grow up and leave. Your kids come into your life, not the other way around.

[@eladbari]

[@emilio_agu_ra]

[@Zaemon037]

Exactly! Your kids are watching you, learning from you. You are role models, modeling what a healthy relationship should look like. That marriage should be the sun around which the kids revolve, not the other way around.

[@famousmortimer7933]

[@eladbari]

Why do I feel like CK is telling the universal truth here? Amazing..its like you really have no choice in life. Either youre married with kids & feel imprisoned with a fighting wife. OR you stay alone..youre free, yet lonely & youll never experience your 2nd childhood with ur offsprings..

[@hv3115]

Yes exactly. There are pros and cons to every choice in life. I think though for men these days, feminism has ruined women and incentives for men to get married. The cons to marriage greatly outnumber any pros. Men need to smarten up and understand just how much the odds are stacked against them and should avoid marriage with western feminist women at all costs.

[@w8m4n]

I have a girlfriend and kids but I live separately, a few streets over. It works out well for us all so far and we get on greatly. It's the second try with us and it's strong as it is. She's just made me a three course meal out of nowhere, what a star! The other day I took the kids for a long walk and brought back some wild flowers for her, she liked that.

or you figure out who you truly are before getting into a relationship and then find someone else who has done the introspection and self-analysis and is able to enter into a partnership that prioritizes growing together and active communication. Plenty of people have lifelong happy marriages and it's because they didn't avoid confronting themselves and figuring out who they are as people.

[@fernie51296]

I think the biggest problem is how much people feel they need to make it work. It's why marriage is falling out of favor. Relationships can be great, but they don't need to be forever.

[@eladbari]

very smart observation. Maybe if [at least] one partner went into the relationship- knowing it will end after having kids- then it wouldn't be so dramatic to end it. BUT, then comes divorce, and alimony and all that shit that will make you live in the street. That's the practical problem.

[@Secular_Scot]

Louis CK is a god.

[@Wolfman7870]

If you are a housewife that doesn't work, your job is to maintain the household. Don't give the man who goes to a job 8 hours+ a day, little mundane chores that you can easily do in between Ellen and Oprah just so you can feel some sense of empowerment and control. Does the man ask you to take his shifts his job so he can feel like empowered? It's one thing if the woman is also working and contributing financially to the household then yes, share the housework but it's another if the only thing you do is maintain the home and take care of the kids. How often do you even need to vacuum or mop a floor, like once, twice a week but women don't want to do it because because feminism is teaching them that doing house work is demeaning and finding a woman that cooks these days is like trying to find water in a desert.

[@jeffgillson]

You definitely don’t have kids if you think you only need to vacuum or sweep 2x/week. Those little fuckers are messy.

BTW - men want to be happily married to and be good husbands and fathers.. it just doesn't always work out that way.

[@wfla2285]

love the honesty. you almost mentioned it but didnt quite get there. the thing that keeps us together after kids is that feeling that everything else in the world is meaningless compared to the kids. you feel like you would take the whole world on, you qould give up everything-- just to get them sonething like a ride on a pony, a good education, safety, security, its everything all tied up together. then, you look across a room at a pta meetibg and you see your spouse and you realize that in this whole world they are the one other person that feels the same way about your kids. and that more real than any other love stuff.

Cathy24601 If you maintain your house, it really doesn't take more than a couple of hours a day, and I'm being generous. It's cute how you overvalue your importance and the amount of work you do. But if maintaining the house takes you more than a couple of hours a day, you're shit at what you do.

[@jitao]

These guys don't realize how much work goes into keeping up a household. Also, how much humility and benevolence must go into a marriage to make it work, if possible. If you are fortunate to have money, just throw it at your shortcomings... that you get to project on the person not making any, because of our capitalist paternal system. It's hard, and it's also a shame. In the end, the children are affected: they see and understand everything, and get to grow up with a lot of unnecessary issues. A lot of pain for all because of selfishness, lack of perception and misunderstanding.

[@rochellegutman8730]

Getting married is not at all a terrible thing but it is hard. It's challenges you to become a better person and to not just think about what you want. And I think it's very nice to have someone to grow old with Life is about phases every decade is different When you have children the first 10 years of their life take up much of yours and that's ok they really need you Husbands and wives have an ebb and tide. Sometimes they are closer sometimes they hate each other. sometimes they this and sometimes they that. People need to learn how to take shit from their spouses and not get all heated up about it. Life is one moment after the other and each moment is its own.

[@Bradatimrkonja]

I never fully understood the american concept of one parent sacrificing his adult life basically just for kids. It's just bound to spawn hostility and resentment for the other partner. Both of my parents work, and most other people I know have parents who both work full time AND do the housework.

[@skellymom]

There are those of us in the US that don't buy into that. Love my daughter, but I still have needs and am my own person. I think people really set themselves up to be personal slaves to their kids and their children never realize that their parents are separate (and sometimes even wonderful) people. Recipe in disaster. Everyone really misses out and resents each other.

[@cefb8923]

I honestly am not sure its that in the way that you are thinking. I usually feel like in these situations the women does not have a real skill, trade, or education. So them working is not going to bring in much money anyways. So when you factor in the cost of daycare (primarily) and all the other costs and consequences (such as you feeling the responsibility to be there to raise your own child) of raising a kid.. the Mom tends to stay home in those situations. You see this a lot with military wives. The husband has a good, secure, fairly well paying job and the wife sits at home all day commenting on Facebook, getting fat, watching movies and raising the kid. Its like a right of passage.

If she goes out till 3am with her friends, I don't care. If we're out to eat and she runs into an ex and talks to him for 4 minutes, I don't care. etc. In fact, when we first met, the only thing I worried about was that she got along with my two girls and with that out of the way, it's smooth sailing.

People get so offended when it’s mentioned that the man supports the family financially, because it seems for a lot of them that it’s to imply that the woman doesn’t pull her weight. That simply isn’t true. If both parents work, it only hurts the kids, and the parents have to work twice as hard to minimize that. Stay at home moms DO work - very hard - and who makes the money isn’t something to be held over the other’s head. Much like in a situation where the breadwinner loses his or her job, if the one whose role is to look after the household decides to slack, or stop altogether, it’s devastating to the family.

I as a women as on the "bread winning" side. My partner at the time decided he didn't want to work anymore. He chose to be a stahd. Then he also decided I didn't get to say I was the bread winner. I wasn't allowed to say I was exhausted, and the house was a filthy as before I took of for work. After one year, I showed him the door.

[@nickdipaolofan5948]

If a man had the EXACT same story, you and every women would call him an asshole for dumping his wife. And you would be making all sorts of excused for the woman. "oh, maybe she was depressed and couldn't get motivated to clean that day" bla bla bla.........

[@nicolastambuyser3822]

whenever I hear people talking about having a kid I just wanna shake them and go "Are you outta your fucking mind!"

[@thecatbehemoth]

A full-time job outside the home is a full-time job. Raising the kids is another full-time job. Cleaning, cooking, doing chores is a third full-time job. So to divide things evenly, each partner in a marriage should take on 1.5 jobs of the household, it's that easy.

[@bendadestroyer]

For the first two years the kid can't do anything but shit and eat. In a couple more years they are in school all day. Kids are not a fulltime job.

[@Celtic-Texan]

I agree with +This Anonymous. You don't have to be rich to have a single income family with a decent lifestyle. I'm nowhere near rich and my wife hasn't worked since the late 90's and she loves it. I didn't ask her to be a stay at home mom but was able to afford to pay the bills with just my salary. She's been able to connect with the children so much better and give them a great start in life. Interestingly most of our friends have a similar single income arrangement and are doing fine.

Love the guy but this was sad. Someone pointed out the Hollywood married way, he works,she stays at home... Sure,in some cases they BOTH work but Matt Damon and Matthew MacConaughey don't seem to mind. And seriously,those people have nannies,maids,gardeners,nutritionists.

[@beatz04]

As noble as Louis might have thought it to be to fight for the marriage because of the kids, if he really feels that he would not even had called his spouse to break up with her if he didn't have kids, he should have broken up with her a long time ago. Kids are not stupid and they really hurt when parents constantly fight or are not in love with each other anymore. For kids it's often better their parents get a divorce and stay friends instead of endlessly trying to fix the marriage but fighting all the way.

[@lullanie]

I agree, it was a noble gesture but once all love is gone there is nothing to work with and as much as you may love your kids that isn't enough to save a marriage on it's own.

[@mic7able]

Wow! Back when Anthony Cumia was a reasonable, very funny, spontaneously brilliant person. Spanning Radio host and comedian perfectly. And I mean PERFECTLY!

[@HIareUmad]

how old is this?

[@tximinoman]

I was listening to this and thinking two things: 1-What did his wife think of what he said on the air? I understand their relationship was dead at this point but even so, if my partner said things half as bad about me as Louie said about her on the radio I'll be fucking pissed. 2-I wonder what their kids will think if they eventually run into this videos. Because I seriously wouldn't know how to feel if my parents divorced and years after that I run into my dad saying he kept being misserable because of me.

[@perkeles23dobre59]

My parents got divorced when i was twelve, and my dad never talked shit about my mother and vice versa, and i can tell you this ; Both were very flawed human beings who did good, but dad could not deal with the grief and pain, i Believe so eventualy our relationship dissaperd, no fight no big argument he just stopped calling, and that FUCKS you up, because no one teaches you about what you have to aim att Mothers give stabilty and roots while dads are suppose to give you aim. So no aim i have However i would still want that than listen to my dad as this ck guy, he shows so much bitternes and impotent rage... Louis should have listen to patrice o neil

[@bendadestroyer]

Louis might be spiteful but at least he's honest and not holding back.

some serious fucking mommy issues. the "I WORK OUTSIDE THE HOUSE I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO VACUUM". ummmm .... what the fuck? taking care of the house isn't a 9-5 job. it's a 24/7 job.

[@Celtic-Texan]

If both work yes, but if one is a stay at home then guess who gets the task, nuff said.

[@walterm.robertsiiiphd2157]

I honestly think the point was more the way she "rags on him" if it does not get done. When a wife degenerates to the "reproving mother" mode, that is a bad thing. I have never been married, but have this on witness from my recently divorced best friend.

[@errant3]

hayleypdown "taking care of the house isn't a 9-5 job. it's a 24/7 job" Bullshit. You do what you have to do, and then you sit down and relax. You mean if you clean the house as a "job" you don't sleep ever, like a normal person? you don't watch tv or read books or whatever the fuck?

[@SausosiosIsrugos]

oh boy, ladies didn't like this one very much.

[@pauls4742]

And it's men's fault. We're too passive and afraid of offending women and being cut off.. so most guys are suck-ups and liars when it comes to relationships with women and tell them what they want to hear. Too often guys will be honest among themselves and then say something different to their wives and gf's...just like women do. At this point in life (60) I don't care anymore and I'm brutally honest and it's much easier for me... and my gf - she's 35 and is shocked to find that men actually think that way and appreciates my honesty and tells me that it helps to explain a lot that she's experienced. We've been together for 5 years and it's better than ever now. But few women can handle the honesty.
