Is it still worth the risk to get married today when half of marriages end in divorce and 90% of women are the ones who instigate them?

Can you imagine working really hard to buy a house for someone you love and she throws it all away on an affair? I think it’s best to just date and have a girlfriend but marriage is too risky. You risk breaking yourself.

Yes, it is still worth the risk to get married.

No, it isn’t worth the risk anymore.

Nope, unless you're religious.

From what I understand, divorce fucks a guy over if nothing else, so I agree with your POV on staying together without being married.

Queue some dating coach to come along and call men out for being smart or 'not mature enough' for marriage.

Have you ever been in love

I'm not sure, lol, as I think the feeling can be confused for something else, so I'm not sure what it actually feels like. I used to think that if you find someone physically attractive, it meant that you're in love with them and it's just not the case.

I'm not necessarily 100% against marriage, but it's definitely a huge risk for men now. I think the institution of marriage is in deep trouble unless women change significantly, which I don't see happening in time to avert the collapse of western society.

You seem focused on divorce instead of finding the right person. Which is the problem in half the marriages. Not sure why people are surprised by 50% failure in marriage when we don’t teach sex ed and religions think they have a monopoly on marriage.

The only people who don't want to get married are people that are not marriage material anyway, and that goes for both men and women.

I am marriage material

For me it's a financial decision.

[Asker]

You’re for not getting married?

[slatyb]

It's essentially a legal contract. It may or may not be tax-advantaged. I don't know why anyone would marry if it increased their tax liability.

Who's to say divorce is bad though?
