Do you enjoy your marriage?

[robocop666]

I hear marriage has terrible reviews and most end in dovorce

Yes

No

I got divorced

[katiesmuff]

Absolutely without any doubt I am very happy with my marriage

[Anonymous]

Mine ended last year and I now have very limited access to my daughter even though I pay the majority of the money that supports her (and her mother). That should answer your question.

are you in America? thats how it works there

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, in America. And you're right. Where are you?

[robocop666]

Ireland we have the lowest divorce here. America has horrible pro women laws. You are wealthy yes?

[Opinion Owner]

You're right, the laws here related to marriage and divorce are very pro women, or rather anti-men and anti-family. I have a pretty good job and career, but I'm not wealthy per se. After the divorce I know I'll be broke for a long time.

Ireland sound nice.

[robocop666]

Ireland you need to be separated for 3 years before you can divorce. Alimony needs to be abolished. However here women can take your kids and deny you access to them. Marriage is a terrible idea needs to be abolished.

[Opinion Owner]

I disagree with you on that. I don't believe marriage needs to be abolished because a healthy marriage is the best model for a happy life for both partners, and for their children, and thus for society as a whole. It's not perfect, but it's better than any other alternative, on average.

What DOES need to be abolished are the laws that incentivize wives to divorce their husbands, monetarily and otherwise.

Here in the US, the rate of children born outside of wedlock has skyrocketed from 8% to almost 50% in a matter of just a few decades. And that has had devastating consequences for society. I'm curious, do you know what the rate of non-marital births is in Ireland? I'll bet it's a lot lower than it is here.

dunno. You should have gotten a prenup. hindsight is always 20/20. sorry to hear of your problems.

[Opinion Owner]

Prenups are a bit of a myth. In principle they seem logical, but the reality is they can easily be invalidated in court if the wife makes certain claims about the husband's behavior. All she has to do is lie, and judges in divorce court almost always side with the wife in the US.

David X dating wrote a book and he claimed this was a true story. A woman was living in his friends house she rang the police and claimed he abused her and the police threw his out of his own house. He had to pay thousands to have her removed from his own house. I would never get married.

you cannot break contracts because of unproven claims. This happened with Trump and muslim countries removing his name off buildings. He sued and won.

[Opinion Owner]

You cannot break contracts because of unproven claims? And yet it happens here in the US all the time.
