Got married at 27 and divorced at 31. I had all of the major assets before we got married so she didn't walk away with much. She actually ended up owing me a little cash after from the property settlement (paid of her previous student debt / credit card debt). Since we weren't married very long she got interim spousal support and final was minimal. She does get a nice little child support check but that's it. I just sold the house that was paid off as well. 100% proceeds to me.
Let's say the last 18 months have been awesome. Just taking spontaneous trips to Vegas, or Austin, or PHX on the weekends when i dont have my daughter.

ow that i am free from any desire of a relationship, i can sort of allow myself to be who i was before, but now with more wisdom and opportunity.
i encourage all men to find this feeling, its special
But the couple years I spent completely uninvolved was really as relaxed and comfortable as I have ever been. It helped me realize how much laundry sucks, and that I really do not give a shite about many of the things that I thought were important. It made me a much better person.
I am glad to be remarried and wouldnt change a thing. One of the things that I promised myself was that I would have no secrets from my wife. To this day, if I have said it on here or to a friend in person....she can read or hear it all she wants. That has helped to maintain that feeling of complete independence that I had singe.

ya, its weird.
i think many people are just beginning to wake up to the social conditioning of "marriage". its still the social norm and not doing it is still criticized, but this is mostly because it makes people uncomfortable with their own chosen life path
being a bachelor doesnt even carry the same stigma as it did 5 years ago. people feel now sorrier for guys who ARE married.
what this means for society, is obviously not a good thing but it will be interesting to live through watching all of this play out
but ya, i dont think a thread like this exists 5 years ago.

i have recently extended this further to just avoid relationships altogether
before any relationship i have ever been involved with, i had so much more creativity and drive.
when in relationships, focus shifts to doing things to appease the girl, her family, her social circles, etc.
this was never my comfort zone, but i existed in it.

Is she really mature or are you very immature?

no it does, but it's got more diversity
as the generation who was raised by the "90s sitcom mom" grows up and realizes they aren't the raging selfish idiot that the dads on those shows were, they're going to settle less and create new (or old, i guess) paradigms
Bunk's point last page was spot on, from the educated/working female POV
i'm in a committed relationship but marriage is still scary to me. i just don't get it, especially without kids

Not me though, I love Saturdays and Sundays with wall to wall commitments for the kids. Love em, to hell with Tiger games and naps.

I’m early 30s never married with a solid job but not OT Money... decent looking but nothing to write home about... it is easier than ever to pull women... no props to myself but rather a culture where dating is just optional ... these 20-33 year olds will come over to “watch a movie” and have sex 15 minutes in .... its almost sad

That's just what i've done recently on short weekend getaways. I would have never done that stuff on a random weekend when married. And the PHX trip was to go and meet a chick i met in Vegas. I will be heading to Europe in June and doing 2-3 ski trips over the winter.

Quality of life is subjective. Anyhoo, it is more about the freedom to go than the destination

Did anyone see how the House version of the GOP tax bill they are trying to pass eliminates the deduction for alimony?

They are if you're looking to randomly hook up with good looking women in their 20s

chicks in these locals are not into "baws" with "new iberia haircuts" fossil watches, those jeans with rhinestones, missmatched facial hair, doc martin boots, and dips in their mouths. they look at your type as the "bridge and tunnel" crowd and do not put out or talk
