This is about it right?

Marriages only last long enough for the children to make it out of infancy more or less.

Marriages generally make it until a man is fully entrenched in his career. Then these AWFULS (Affluent White Female Urban Liberals) know that they can enslave these men with alimony and child support. Everybody knows that 80% of all divorce actions are filed by women. For many of them, it is the plan from the start.

It is better for a man to never permit his wife to know how much money he actually earns. And starting from day one. He needs to establish his emergency fund, so he can afford lawyers. And be able to continue with life After she tries to eviscerate him.

Every man should know when his wife is growing cold on him. Disrespect seeps into most conversations. There is no negotiating this coldness away. I. That is a time for him to develop a dialog with a law firm like Cordell and Cordell. They will assist in his navigating choppy waters.

In the modern age, It is better never to marry. Modern women offer nothing but a pussy and a paycheck. They don't want children and family. They want luxury. It is better to have a friend with benefits or a mistress. That way you have most of the benefits of marriage but very few of the risks. And if you can't sustain a mistress, then you can go for rentals once in a while.

I really am 78. I come from the Leave it to Beaver days. When families were stable. prosperous and happy. I'm sorry to say now. If I were 50 years younger, there is no likelihood that I would get married. Western women have become improvised explosive devices.

Probably because marriage means absolutely nothing to the kiddies, today!! They get married, they pound our a few units and then they get divorced! What's the fucking point?

[DonaldDarko]

Keeps the man around long enough to raise the child out of infancy. If the government could make sperm these women wouldn't go with men at all. They're breeding machines.

[FunkyMonkee]

Pretty much.

Not really, that’s more of a cynical view, not a rule.

Many marriages last long past raising children because they’re built on shared values, respect, and commitment not just convenience or survival. Children can strengthen a bond, but longevity depends on how partners grow together, communicate, and support each other over time.

The “only lasts for the kids” idea is more a pattern in struggling relationships, not a universal truth.

After hurricane Katrina, there was a bunch of rescue people. A boat pulled up to a house and there was a husband and wife and 18 children. None of them worked. I’m guessing their uncle‘s first name was Sam. 😁

Not at all. My parents have been married since 1984. My sister was born un 1992, she's the youngest. My fiancée's sister got remarried in 2018, her youngest turned 13 last year. So it has nothing to do with when children reach a certain age, or even if you have children. Two of my aunts are childless, and they've been married since the 80s.

Nowadays that seems like the case , my marriage turned to shit as soon as my kids’ got older and she decided she wanted to be selfish and ruin are marriage , so the chances of me ever getting married again , are slim

[AviatorTom]

No, you have to wait until the kids are old enough to live on their own. That's the timing of my amicable divorce after 20 years of marriage and 3 kids.

[slatyb]

Many people stay married for decades without ever having children.

[Snowman84]

Do you shit your pants just like President Donny John?

[exitseven]

[888theGreat]
