Marrying someone and losing half of your money and kids for a person you may potentially lose interest in is the dumbest thing you can do. The lifetime risk of a divorce is 50%. You literally have a 50% chance of screwing yourself over. In any other scenario, 50% is a bad chance, so why do people decide to play the bet in this case? Marriage is never rational. Dating is far superior. If the woman or man wants to settle down through marriage, you dump them and find someone else. Now you can get a prenup but there’s still tons of problems that come with a potential divorce you wouldn’t have to deal with if you didn’t marry in the first place.
Where is 50% derived from? That seems very high.
You either get divorsed or not... 50/50
The lifetime risk for divorce in the US is 50%.
I am guessing you’re referring to some random Facebook post
I am sorry for you. The same way I am sorry for a company who wants to hire top talent but only wants to hire them as contractors with no benefits or job stability, and minimal pay.
Seems like you’ve some bad experience :(
Nah, I am fine, just sorry for people who had horrible experience.
What if the woman makes the same amount of money?
Still, what is the purpose of marriage? Can’t two people have a loving relationship without being officially sanctioned (you may now kiss the bride) by the state?
A safe and fair legal framework for two people sharing a home, assets and having children together.
Doesn't matter. Don't use ad-hominem, idiot. Address the merit of the argument, not the author.
It does matter. His rant gives me an idea that he might be one. And that means his opinion is strongly biased.
🙄
Who uses "cucks" in a real discussion? Tip, don't do this in real life.
OP is right though
If he was, he would recognize things like pre-nups exist and it really isn't hard to protect your assets. But nah, he's a cuck.
Please don't discriminate against OP for being on the spectrum.
Diversity hire

The divorce rate is not 50%. Don’t be an idiot. Do a little research before sounding off.
The lifetime risk for divorce in the US is 50%.
Yea it's 54% in the US; how dare you round down.
