Now if you think the above are just the foolish imaginations of a crazy man, I'd suggest that no relationship at all might be the happier choice for you.
You may be right! I sometimes wish I could simply upload my mind to a computer. I am trying to be happy without having great friends.

How would you define the word marriage? You could say I was once married not long ago. I had stepson, I loved it him very much at the time.
Just for the record.

I was going through a divorce and living in my mother's basement with my children when I met the woman I am married to now. She's ten years younger than I am and "way out of my league". I don't bring that up to brag, but to make a point. I didn't marry her for her age or looks. I
I wish more people would think the same way.

Is your wife a very educated career woman?

True, that.
Attractive and educated women are not very picky? Why do you think attractive and educated single women in their 30s are single?

I suspect it is a lot easier to attract women in the UK.

ajax, how do you suppose that your afterlife marriage will differ, such that you’ll be ‘redeemed and compensated for (your) suffering’? What does that look like for your partner and yourself, and your interaction?
It looks like imperfect people. What do car wrecks, lawsuits, crappy bossrs, and spoiled kids look like? I'm grateful for my faith. It gives me a why to overcome the how.
Right, imperfect people.

With that, what is it about passing through the veil that you envision causes this union between two imperfect and essentially same-as-mortal individuals to morph into a perfected marriage in the afterlife?

Women are not things to acquire but you continue to post as though they are.
True, that.

Women don't have to be picky to not want to be treated like possessions. Not wanting to be objectified is pretty much a baseline female desire for any woman with self-respect.

I don't know how old you are, what you do, what you look like, or how you converse, but I can certainly understand from just your posts why you have a hard time with women. It's damned obvious to anyone reading what you have to say.

I would pity you if I thought you actually tried to do something about your problems, but people here have offered you great advice, and you actively ignore it. You deserve the love life you've got.
Religion is for people whose existential fear is greater than their common sense.

The god idea is popular with desperate people.

Women have higher dating standards than men. When it comes to online dating, 80% of guys are unattractive to women. It's probably around 70% in the real world. https://www.yourtango.com/2016285828/wo ... razy-study

Women are too picky nowadays.

Lol. Yes. It’s a woman problem. :roll:
Hugh Nibley claimed he bumped into Adolf Hitler, Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Gertrude Stein, and the Grand Duke Vladimir Romanoff. Dishonesty is baked into Mormonism.

A link to more redpill crap. Our resident sexist has been hitting the Manosphere again…
The manosphere is a collection of websites, blogs, and online forums promoting masculinity, misogyny, and opposition to feminism….A central tenet is the concept of the red pill, a metaphor borrowed from the film The Matrix. It concerns awakening men to the supposed reality that society is dominated by feminism and biased against men.

Manospherians believe that feminists and political correctness obscure this reality, and that men are victims who must fight to protect themselves. Accepting the manosphere's ideology is equated with "taking the red pill"… Such terminology originated on the antifeminist subreddit /r/TheRedPill and was later taken up by men's rights and MGTOW sites.

… "The Red Pill represents a new phase in online misogyny. Its members not only mock and belittle women; they also believe that in our society, men are oppressed by women."
