Would less Women divorce if they weren't no longer rewarded by society with half of everything, Child Support & Alimony?

[Drewtate]

Yes

No

[SumomoSummer1]

Well I chose no. I’ve been divorced before and based on the other divorces I’ve seen some of my friends and family go through the answer would also be no.


I got out of my marriage because my ex-husband became a control freak and kept me away from all friends, family, and some great job opportunities. My cousin got out of her marriage because her husband almost choked her to death one time cause she wanted some money for something and when he wouldn’t let her have it she went out and made the money her self. My best friend is currently getting a divorce because her husband ‘thought’ she was cheating on him and tried to stab her and run her over with a car. And my mom got a divorce simply b/c she was unhappy with my dad and he was reluctant to change.


In most of these cases I’d say the common denominator is the shitty guys. Not saying all guys are shitty, but in those situations the guys really showed how terrible they were. I believe from most women’s perspective, being divorced is not the goal. No women wants to be 45, divorced, with two kids, working a full time job and have no help or support. Most divorces happen b/c there is a change within the relationship and, if a problem results from it, the problem is never worked out.

[Throwawaynowknow]

One could argue that the woman is equally at fault for marrying said shitty guys

[SumomoSummer1]

I could agree with that. What I find a lot of the time is that a women will usually be open and honest by baring her wants and intentions during dating and the guy will conform and fit the bill during that time. But after he’s got her, he begins to show his true self or stops putting effort in to live up to her standards. Then the women is fooled and sticks with him because she knows that he can be the man that she desires since he’s done it before. And things generally go down hill from there. I’m not saying all guys/girls do that, but I believe it’s very common.

[Mamaliv]

I’m gonna say no, but I worked as equally and provided as much and sometimes more than my ex husband. When I left him I’d hope for a clean easy break as simple as possible, we even had 50/50 custody in the beginning and I had no intention of asking for child support. But he tried screwing me over in so many ways because he was bitter about me leaving him, he wouldn’t take the kids cause he was busy, he couldn’t help but school supplies because he had a new down payment on a vehicle, he refused to help pay Dr bills. My kids wouldn’t be showered and sometimes wore the same clothes multiple days in a row, so eventually I had to go back to court get full custody and child support which isn’t even enough to cover groceries.

[EricSummer]

The answer is yes, but of course they would then still be miserable in their marriage and would make their husbands feel that. As an alternative to divorce they would cheat more.

The cartoon strikes close to the mark on many things, for example the housing situation for the wife and kids plus the dog (ours is a cat) compared to the guy. Still, it is overall too cynical and single-sided.

Many guys genuinely want kids and do not just say "ok".

The most important inaccuracy is the one on dating opportunities. As a divorced dad it's actually quite easy to get women even in their 30s. Online dating is useless, but you can meet the women in real life. No need to drink or to fap excessively.

The most surprising fact is how attractive some women find it that you have kids and thereby helped a woman achieve what they also still want to achieve. When they see my pretty daughter they probably figure that they want one like that as well.

[Exterminatore]

I firmly believe this is the case. First of all, women supposedly make less than men. Let’s say a guy makes $50K a year. Then she also needs to make $50K a year to get half out because she didn’t put half in.


Women wanted their cake and to eat it too. Many wanted to settle down with mister “stable” to have children. Many become board and want to leave and be had by men they consider more exciting, yet many of these more exciting men are not stable, so they made sure they can leave with an unfair amount of money and resources all while telling us how oppressed they are.

[Anemone978]

What is with all you whinny guys who don't want to get married.. If you don't want marriage then don't marry but don't blame women for something some women do.. that is like blaming all your new girl friends for what your friends ex did to him.. lol

I got married in the courthouse in regular clothes and no ring..
We separated after 11 years, I took nothing but my clothes and Switch.. he wouldn't let me have the kids.. I had to leave because he fucked me up by mentally abusing me for years..
I struggled for a year on my own.. kids begged me to come back so I did..
Just because there are shitty wives there are plenty of shitty husbands too..

[LiamJHayden]

Fewer would get married in the first place for a couple of reasons:

1. Gold diggers looking for the payoff would have no reason.

2. Rational, caring, devoted women would have to be foolish to give up a career, raise children for two decades, and then when the children are adults get divorced by their husbands and walk away with nothing.

[LiamJHayden]

"Women aren't rational." Many are.

[provokeesmokee]

Lmao, you think cheaters THINK about the consequences of their actions? That's a mistake.

[Drewtate]

People don't think about consequences when there are none. Used to be guilt, shame and consequences kept People from doing shitty things

[Sharkstealth]

Maybe it has more to do with the fact that older women like younger guys because they get hard no matter what. Men like younger girls because they can get hard for them.

[Drewtate]

Older women can get younger guys no problem, the difference is keeping them

[Sharkstealth]

I had sex with a woman in her 60s when I was about 25. She was a petite redhead. She also had sex with 2 of my friends the same night in my apartment at the time.

[Drewtate]

We've all dusted off the cobwebs

[Unit1]

No. Women might be less likely to marry if that was the case. But they still want that government approval and show off ceremony.

[Drewtate]

Feminist groups are trying to make it so that if you live with a woman for 3 years she is automatically your common law wife entitled yo alimony and half.

[VforVindication]

And the Kardashians are not white ffs. That is what i get out of that picture. Why do they keep calling them white?

[Drewtate]

Armenians are white

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. That theory isn't true because lots of women divorce too in poor countries were such rights probably don't exist.

Extremely few people get married with divorce in mind in the future.

Things just turn sour in relationships sometimes and people just can't endure it.

[Drewtate]

Lots of women don't divorce in poorer countries

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

They do or are just a bunch of single moms.

[Drewtate]

In poorer countries women do everything they can to hold on to a man including staying in shape

[Lliam]

Do women a favor and don't get married, dude. You know nothing about women. Keep your money to yourself and buy a female robot.

Guys like you who do get married are the reason for divorces.

[Nikki1989]

Bingo!

[strateguy632]

or is the money a motivation, during an argument and even planned from the "i want kids" time, for which reason?

[Lliam]

@strateguy632. Or is it that some guys think they are superior because of their size and strength. They are under the illusion women are inferior to men and are supposed to be submissive. So they think their role is to be the boss rather than a partner. They make all the decisions.
Since they are the primary source of income, they control the money because they think it’s theirs. They exert control and treat their wife like an employee or servant or property because they think that is a woman’s place. They take her for granted. They act like martyrs because they have a fucking job and have to go to work, then expect their wife to cook for them, clean up after them, do their laundry, do chores and keep the house clean, take care of the kids, and satisfy their sexual fantasies.

The girls are fine with being perfect housewives. They had dreams of marriage and kids. But after years of being unable to achieve any appreciation, empathy, understanding or compromise through communication, they realize that the guy is an abusive, clueless dick head that they can't imagine spending the rest of their life with.

[Astarlessnightsky]

If your options are starving or staying with the men you think twice. Things are better now than in the 1950s, but single mother are still one of the groups affected the most by poverty.

[Nikki1989]

No, it wouldn't change a thing.
