If you divorce: 1. wife gets custody of the kid 90% of the time (unless she has a history of abuse and substance), 2. man loses 50% of his assets, loses the home, and have to move out 3. Man pays for child support while the wife finds a new bf and live together in the home that the man had worked hard to buy Sounds like there's cons to getting married than the pros. And pls don't tell me "ohh, you have to find the right person". Ugh no, that rarely happens. That's exactly why divorce rate is at 50% I really want someone to prove me wrong and change my views on marriage TC 160
I agree that it’s not worth it for you. Be happy with what you have.
This is a really sexist description. Women earn money too and sometimes more than the husband does. Many men have 1/2 custody and prioritize their kids
Seems like divorce is not worth it, not marriage.
You mean divorce not worth it or marriage is not worth it?
Ok red pill parrot
It is not worth it for women as well, I told my wife that I will make enough money so my daughter doesn’t have to worry about money, and I wish she never marry anyone. She can do ivf if she wants kids.
It is important to note not all women are bad but you are absolutely right odds in woman’s favor in case of divorce. It risk to benefit and it is not worth for men to get married in current scenario, unless you trust your partner 100%
This study is a year old. “In 29% of marriages today, both spouses earn about the same amount of money. Just over half (55%) of marriages today have a husband who is the primary or sole breadwinner and 16% have a breadwinner wife.” https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2023/04/13/in-a-growing-share-of-u-s-marriages-husbands-and-wives-earn-about-the-same/
Why not? Husbands also do chores and help with kids for the family. I’m pretty sure more than 45% of fathers spend time with their kids no less than mothers. The norm is, for things both men and women can do, women usually don’t want take more than half of the responsibility. For things that women can’t do, they rely on men 100%.
Women aren’t interested in marrying men who earn less than them or having children with men who can’t afford a family because they end up paying him child support and alimony. Most men get discouraged when he earns less and they don’t want to deal with doing more work or improving themselves. Men want to get married and not change which is counterintuitive to aging and being in a long-term relationship/marriage. When women earn more, they’re more likely to divorce, so it’s better to just be single and child free. From a biological standpoint, countries should want the smartest women having larger families because there’s an intelligence link that’s genetic from women. In general, women don’t want to marry men unless they’re equally as educated or better than them. We have an education gap between the genders and men are not as interested in attending college anymore. The US Government made community colleges more affordable or free. More women showed up 💀. Men didn’t care #savage. The snake is eating itself now. Yes, paid leave exists. It’s kinda pointless to have kids if you’re required to work because your spouse can’t afford all the bills solo or if it’s one of those women who fell for the baby daddy nonsense. Having a baby will not force that guy to grow up, marry you, get a job, or become more responsible. We no longer live in the age where some guy gets forced to marry you because you had sex once or because he got you pregnant. If you make similar incomes and get married, you get dinged on your taxes for being successful. France has a slightly better system that allows cohabitation for tax benefits (PACS). Keep in mind that OP is focusing on divorce and there’s millions of couples who are miserable together or they’re choosing to suffer in silence with infidelity, addiction, financial issues, job loss, big family crisis, kid/partner/parent is disabled, mental health problems, major health problems like cancer, etc. Marriage is a rough deal for so many people. Most people are not marrying their first or second choice let alone someone they would consider to be their best friend. They’re getting married to avoid being alone, out of obligation, they think they should be married by age x, other person is lying about everything to access your finances, religious/cultural background, and love is *temporary*. More people should be opting out (which prevents divorce). The cost of daycare, college, and single family homes for people who want or have kids are astronomical.
