>was a virgin up until I was 30
>finally started the online dating thing
>ended up dating some woman the same age as me
>kinda good looking, 7/10
>knew she'd had sex with plenty of guys before, figured i should just accept it and settle because every woman my age had baggage and it might be my only chance to have a real relationship
>end up getting married, own home together
>both work full time, neither of us wants kids, sex twice a week
I thought this kind of life would bring me happiness. Why do I still feel so shit? Why do I still hate my life, why does it feel so unsatisfying?
Because you married a woman out of desperation, not love.
Because having other people in your life won't fix you. See a therapist and work your shit out before you ruin everything.

You're a man, and other people can't make you happy. Only you can do that for yourself, on your own terms.
If a man can't be happy alone on a deserted island with just a cave, bananas and coconuts, a few palm trees, and sand, then he can't be happy in any situation.

Wtf do you want? A relationship? Fucking tons of girls?

I'm guessing this.
Do you really like/love her, or did you just find the first woman who'd accept you and get married because of societal expectations?

tbqh I'd prefer that. I'd be missing the internet immensely for a few weeks/months but I'd eventually get over it.
There is no "end goal". No matter what you do you'll finish being unhappy. If there's a time when you're happy expect unhappiness right around the corner. But the same thing goes if your unhappy - it just might not be "right" around the corner.

This is what antidepressants are for :)

You fell for the meme. It's life's greatest meme. Love doesn't bring happiness like everyone says, it only makes some of the bad shit worse. Just give up all of your desires, and expectations of the world. Only by doing this, will you truly become happy.

Because you made the mistake along with everyone else here that the only way to achieve some bullshit state of nirvana is to get laid, you must be depressed.
The funny part is some people also have the audacity to start insisting that you aren't a man until you fuck 10 women a week, it's a slippery slope anon, you can choose whether to be concerned or not.

Well because happiness doesn't come from how much stuff you add to your life, whether it's a house and kids or a sports car.
I don't really know where it comes from, but it's not that.
