Why I Don't Believe in Marriage or Long-Term Relationship

[Shiningtempest]

Here are 5 reasons why I don't believe in marriage or long-term relationship. If you are curious, open-minded, or interested, I invite you to read myTake.

1. I Could Lose Money if Long-Term Relationship or Marriage Fail

In the article "Amazon's Jeff Bezos pays out $38bn in divorce settlement", Jeff Bezos handed Amazon shares worth $38 billion to his ex-wife Mackenzie in 2019. Jeff Bezos handing Amazon shares worth $38 billion shows loss of valuable assets because of his failed marriage.

2. Chance of Long-Term Relationship or Marriage Failure is 50%

I don't see why I should dedicate my time to long-term relationship or a marriage when there are 50% chance that it could end in failure. Based on 50% failure rate of long-term relationship or marriage, I would rather use my time on hanging out with my bros or play video games.

Long-Term Relationship or Marriage = Russian Roulette

3. Possibility of Battle over Child Custody Battle

If a divorce involves nasty custody battle, then parents will fight to their bitter end to have custody over their child. For instance in the article "Brad and Angie are Dragging Doctors and Experts into Court to Testify Custody Battle", both Brad & Angie are enlisting help from specialists to obtain custody of their child. The nasty battle between Brad & Angie shows what can or will happen if a divorce involves vicious custody battle. If both Brad & Angie couldn't resolve child custody issue through mediation, I wouldn't stand a chance if a long-term relationship or marriage fails.

4. Long-Term Relationship or Marriage Have Landmine(s)

Long-term relationship or marriage have landmine(s) that can or will turn their life into utter nightmare. For example, in the article "Tiger Woods: A tumultuous 10 years from scandal to redemption", the article explained Tiger Woods lost sponsorship from companies such as Gillette in response to his affair. Tiger losing sponsorship is one example of a repercussion that could've been avoided had he not commit the blunder of having an affair.

5. I Could Have my Wage Garnished or Arrested if I'm Unable to Pay Alimony

If I was unable to pay alimony, my wage would be garnished or get arrested by cops. For instance, in the blog post "What Happens If You Don’t Pay Alimony?", a writer explained how wage garnishment & possible arrest works if a person fails to pay alimony.

The reasons listed above shows why I don't believe in long-term relationship or marriage. The struggle famous people go through during failed marriage convinced me tat long-term relationship or marriage isn't worth gambling my financial assets & my happiness.

So money, which is only a tool, is your Priority in life. Each to their own...

You are not too bright, then.

1. You could lose nothing, if you stay loyal and faithful.

2. The chance is 0% if you are both compatible partners.

3. Not every marriage has children, and not every divorce has a custody battle.

4. Landmines don't just "appear" - they are planted. If you don't fuck around, and be just with your partner, you have nothing to worry about.

5. You can have your wage garnished or be arrested if you fail to pay any debt. Why should alimony be different?

@jshm2 Unfortunately, I have a lot more to lose by entering into marriage or a long-term relationship
