What are you thoughts on the below statement about marriage?

[KrakenAttackin]

"For women, marriage is about rights and privileges. For men, marriage is about duties and obligations. If the husband cheats, the wife divorces him and takes all of his stuff. If the wife cheats, the wife divorces him and takes all of his stuff. If no one cheats, the wife initiates divorce 70% - 90% of the time and takes all of his stuff. The most common reason for divorce : Princess is bored. There is simply nothing in marriage for men".

marriage laws are fucked for dudes but reminder its not cos of lesbo feminazis or the 'libtards', its cos of tradition and historical reasons

but anyways in the mean time if you want to get married there's a simple solution to all that, it's just to sign a ✨prenup✨. no more risk. or even better get married but not on paper, like just do an unofficial wedding, get rings, change the last name and stuff without any of the potential consequences :)

[KrakenAttackin]

Unfortunately, even a marriage in a church without a marriage license, still constitutes a "marriage" under law and she still have the full power of law to use against her husband and children.

[Apple1996]

Nah hard disagree with all of this. The most common reason for divorce has nothing to do with a woman being bored. It is that women no longer want to be caretakers for men anymore. If men don't like divorce then they need to step up and be a equal partner. If not then they are getting what they deserve when a woman "takes all his stuff". he's basically just having to pay her back for caring for him.

[KrakenAttackin]

Right, sure.. don't want to be "caretakers" for men
.. meaning he loses his job or is sick or disabled. Got it.

[Apple1996]

Lol nah not talking sick or disabled more like he's fully capable of doing shit for himself but expects his wife to do it. Like basic adult skills cooking, cleaning, making appointments.
Ain't no woman wants to have a man child as a husband

[KrakenAttackin]

So, was he a "man child" when you met him or did he suddenly become cognitively impaired? Also, most men are MUCH better at basic life skills (cooking, cleaning, household maint., than modern women).

[Apple1996]

I don't personally have this problem as much as other women.(my husband will admit that I take care of him and shows appreciation so it's not as bad)
I've heard from lots of single moms that this is the reason why they left their husband's and how is easier without them.
And it has nothing to do with who is better at the skill. It's that men expect women to be caretakers then give nothing back in return

[KrakenAttackin]

Women will always find a rationalization to breakup a marriage and make it the man's fault. You said your husband is "not as bad", I can only imagine the shit he has to put up with that you do, but he keeps it to himself.

[Apple1996]

It most likely is a man's fault in some of those cases. Can't say all since each relationship is so different.
And eh if anyone puts up with bad shit in my relationship it's me. I'd go into detail but it'd be a lot to share and I'm not looking for no pity either. My husband is just happy that I've stuck around and isn't to bothered by anything that I do.

[KrakenAttackin]

Sounds like a classic shitty marriage. Only 14% of women identify as "happily married".

[LiamJHayden]

The primary reason I will not consider marriage is current no-fault divorce laws. And I have worked enough divorces to see allegedly foolproof pre-marital agreements get set aside in part or in whole, often seemingly at the whim of the judge, so that idea won't sway me.

[msc545]

That is a sadly accurate summary, and a good reason to never get married. A prenup will not protect a man, since the Judge in the family law court can and often will invalidate it and give the woman everything anyway. Marriage is a losing proposition for men.

[msc545]

Thanks for MHO

[Likes2drive]

Well, there’s no real advantage for a man to get married and it’s true that women do mostly initiate divorce and usually get alimony so the only way to never get divorced is to never get married

[KrakenAttackin]

Unfortunately, simply dating a woman for two years or more can constitute a "marriage" in some places.

[Likes2drive]

Maybe if they are living with you but not dating but yeah states do that

[richardcory]

It seems some people are making very poor choices in who they marry.

[msc545]

Yes, it does seem that way, but it is very difficult to distinguish between good and bad choices for most men prior to marriage.

[richardcory]

@msc545 I dated my future wife for about 5 years before we got married, so I had plenty of time to learn about her, and for her to learn about me

[msc545]

Most men do not wait that long to get married, and the majority of women definitely do not. Five days is sufficient to evaluate someone if you know what you are doing, and if you, don't no amount of time is sufficient.

[Juxtapose]

It can get bad, that's why you gotta be in a state without common law marriage and not get married.

Being together for life is possible without marriage.

[Andres77]

I’d say that you are at least 50% correct.

Bravo!

[Pete671]

Perfectly said!, yes laws are totally biased in favour of women,

[worldscolide]

I'd say you're 100% correct
