They told me “Happy wife, happy life”
Like that shit was wisdom, like that lie was right
No one warned me it’s a fuckin’ grave
A one-way path to becoming a slave
Smother your voice, kill your pride
Tuck your balls in and die inside
Give her the world, give her your spine
Then smile like everything’s fuckin’ fine
Work 80 hours, buy her that ring
Still ain’t enough—she wants the next thing
Vacations, diamonds, designer bags
Your soul’s in debt while she brags
She’s not grateful, she’s not blind
She’s playin' you, fucking with your mind
Dangle affection, but never give
Make you prove you deserve to live
You send flowers—she shrugs
Write poems—she rolls her eyes
Kiss her neck—she pulls away
Say “I love you”—she sighs
Every goddamn effort? Ignored.
Every win? Scored against you.
You’re not a husband, you’re a fuckin’ tool
And the moment you stop, you’re “cruel”
She don’t want peace, she wants control
And you? You’re the punchline to her role
You bled for her, cried in silence
And she weaponized your fuckin' kindness
Your boys don’t call, your hobbies rot
You ain't a man, you’re a fuckin’ prop
No backbone, no edge, no roar
Just a house-trained mutt on all fours
And the irony? The more you bend
The quicker she wants this shit to end
Because women don’t follow men who beg
They follow the ones who stand on their fuckin’ legs
She used to want your fire, your fight
Now she’s disgusted you won’t ignite
She tests you, pokes, talks shit
Waiting for the man who won’t submit
You’ll die first, that’s no lie
Crack under stress, no tears to cry
Buried in silence, no eulogy read
While she smiles in black and fucks your friend
No glory for the man who gave
Just flowers on a forgotten grave
She’ll say “He was good, but weak”
While Uncle Mike kisses her cheek
And your kids?
They watched it all.
Dad the wallet. Dad the joke.
Dad with his dreams up in smoke
Your son don’t respect you—he pities you
Your daughter wants a man to control too
You didn’t raise strength, you raised confusion
All because you fed them this delusion
Fuck that.
Fuck the fake fairy tale.
Fuck the “please her or fail.”
You were never built for this leash
You were forged in flame, not for peace
You ain’t her puppet, you ain’t her toy
You ain’t here to beg for joy
You are a fuckin' storm, untamed
You are not here to be shamed
So no, it’s not “Happy wife, happy life”
It’s “Strong man, real love, no strife”
A man on mission, unshaken
Not broken down, not goddamn taken
If she walks beside you—good
If not? She never fucking could
'Cause you don’t need a queen who reigns in fear
You need one who builds and steers
So to every man who's losing his flame
To every soul who's drowning in shame
Burn that script, kill that lie
Raise your head, let your fists fly
Because you ain’t meant to die inside
Just to keep some princess satisfied
You’re the fire, the frame, the guide
And any woman worth a damn stands by your side
