You know that the CC is universal right? Its part of the circle of life, and really, I don't let it get me down at all. Any wife/LTR you enter into is going to have advantages and drawbacks, that's life, and progressive education is just making the situation worse. You want to know a funny thing that modern women don't seem to understand? Take these two facts:

-divorce is initiated by women 2/3rd of the time and is increasing. Amongst married couples where both spouses work, divorce is initiated by women 90% of the time.

-70% of men ages 20-34 are unmarried, and this number is increasing.

Gee, I wonder why that could be? There's surely no correlation between those two stats, is there? Men have to be childish, immature commitment-phobes and not emotionally mature individuals whose agency reflects the incentives that society provides them with. Here's the thing, those stats reflect the US, but the UK is even further off the deep end than the US is. I don't know what the corresponding numbers are in the UK, but I'll bet they're higher. At least in US, even in the liberal Bay Area, I don't see women openly talking about having more babies to increase their welfare payout. That's the kind of thing that would make me lose my shit, because not only is she bringing a baby into this world for the wrong reasons, but, because of the childhood and upbringing such a child will have, that child won't have a chance at a decent life. If the child is a girl, she'll wind up like her mom, if the child is a boy, he'll wind up fucking girls like his mom. Either way, its a waste to society.

I truly am sorry about you living and going to Uni in the UK and having to put with that crap, and, FYI, if your girlfriend says she's been with six other partners, chances are the truth is closer to twelve other partners, but I'm sure you knew that. Women tend to divide their real partner count by half when telling someone what their count is, just like men tend to double their partner count before telling someone else what thier's is.
