It's simple: because women believe in divorce. There is a whole toxic culture out there of women who truly believe that it's okay to get divorced if the relationship isn't going well and they don't feel happy.
Well, if the outcome of my relationship is based on feelings, then it has no meaning whatsoever. Why would I invest in such a questionable venture?

My own mother was like that, by the way. She would always hang out with women who got divorced or were getting divorced. (And she had no legitimate reason to do this because she had nothing in common with them. My dad was and is a great husband.) I was constantly in a state of instability growing up because I knew that my mom was hanging out with these toxic women who were being a bad influence on her. I was always afraid because she could get offended and have one of her tantrums at any moment and then she might divorce my dad and break up our family. It did not make me feel safe or secure at all.
(Thankfully she never went through with it. But it still did an incredible amount of damage to me psychologically.)

Women can be very fickle beings, especially for gen x y and z. One day you are their entire world, the next you are easily dispensed with.

Considering the power a woman can wield over a man through the tyranny of the state, it is sensible to be wary. It’s really scary. I think female mental health is at an all time low right now…be careful guys

Because where I live, if she divorces me, the laws dictate that I give her half of the marital assets and after ten years pay open-ended spousal support till she remarries or lives with a partner, even if she cheats on me and/or is physically abusive. As most divorce attorneys are adept at getting separate property declared "donated to the marital estate" I'd have to be almost brain-dead to risk everything left to me by my grandparents and parents (both parents were also only children so I was sole heir of two families) as well as my business, investments, and savings upon the hope that she won't blow it up. Even if the odds were 1-in-10 rather than 2-in-5 to 1-in-2, I'd still have to be black hole dense to take the risk.

And working in legal I see how often pre-marital agreements get set aside in part or in whole by judges, so even that won't sway me. Until divorce returns to "at-fault" as an option I will decline marriage.

because society allows women to get away with divorcing men with made up reasons like he was "abusive" or "manipulative" etc. so she can gain access to half his assets, half his finances plus alimony and possibly child support payments. it doesn't matter if she was the one responsible e. g. she cheated because the man is always in the wrong no matter what

if he cheats, he's a scumbag who can't control his emotions and deserves to be divorced but if she cheats, he wasn't attractive enough for her and she felt trapped and therefore she's allowed to cheat and file for divorce

Even at my age, I know that. Men know that women initiate 80 percent of divorces and in the event of divorce, they may lose half their assets, their children, half their retirement, and a good portion of their income. Fortunately for me, unlike older men who are far more aware of those facts, most young men are not worried about divorce. And, in a few years I intend to marry a young man while I am still young.

I know guys that have good jobs and make good money end up moving back in with their parents. I knew lots of divorced cops that would end up living in really imaginitiver places. One guy actually lived in the attic of the police station. I worked at K-12 school system and a teacher was living in an unused classroom in the basement. I never saw a woman ever have to do this. So much for equality.

Reason most men are worried about divorce. Cause it usually cost them a lot of money. Another might having 2 lose custody of thier children. Last but least having 2 start all over. I think divorce is 2 way street. Meaning the 2 should have an even split. Better yet come 2 terms with one another.

Marriage is like a hurricane there is a lot of blowing in the beginning & when it’s all said & done your house is gone.

HippieVeganJewslim · Answer

They just don’t realise that worry steals one joy, messes up one’s mind, and makes one very busy doing nothing. If men can do something about the divorce, they should do it. If they can do nothing about the divorce, then what’s the use of worry?

Because it's very difficult for hoes to be successful in a relationship. So in a world where most marriages consist of hoes marrying hoes, the outlook is understandably grim for a lot of people.

Because equality hasn't reached divorce and family courts yet so they know they will lose a lot whether deserved or not

I can't imagine why anyone would want to stay in a relationship if their partner wanted a divorce
