Luckily millennials are reversing the divorce trends set by shitty arse baby boomers.

I’ve found that a lot of the divorce statistics are set by a very few individuals who keep fricking up.

1-2 marriages is normal. If you are on a 3rd or more, the problem probably is either you or your choice in spouses.

If they have only fricked one dude since basically high school, and have multiple kids and are in the early to mid 30s, it’s probably because they feel like they haven’t lived and the situation they are in, they having zero fun.

Once a couple has very little sex anymore, it pretty much takes all the passion out of the relationship and once you take the passion out, that pretty much causes both people to get tired of each other and find other stuff to occupy their time.

Plus being around kids none stop will wear you out. I don’t mean not loving your kids or want to stay away from your kids for a couple weeks but if a married couple can’t get away from their kids really ever and have adult time, it gets pretty boring and old in life

Pension and 401K from Kraft Foods, where he worked for 20+ yrs prior to meeting his soon-to-be-ex. I'm guessing 401K is in the hundreds of thousands


If in a community property state, she gets zero of the pension (if all service credits earned prior to marriage) and will get a portion of the 401k's gains/reinvested dividends during the marriage (if any) and any contributions made during marriage (if any). Hes no where near as fricked as you think.

Most of these women have no hobbies besides having drinks with the girls. They are jealous of their married friends. Once they get married they believe having kids will fulfill them. It turns out to be more of a job than the fairytale they see on facebook. Now they want their previous life back of drinking with the girls. Rinse and repeat

Most women are very selfish when it comes to relationships with men.

Girls just want to have fun the song goes

Girls do everything in groups- like use the bathroom

Hard to find a level headed feminine keeper with deep values

When you marry Baw at 21 and you do the same thing, every year, for 20 years, it doesn't seem that crazy that the wife gets bored.
Why can't the wife find any hobbies or do something else that makes her happy instead of expecting the male to do everything for her? You think the guys aren't thinking the same thing after 20 years of the same ole same ole?

as an accused misogynist, i'll defend women here

many times she doesn't have time b/c she gets burdened with all of the housework and dealing with kids

the OP (and most comments) seem to discuss a situation where the man earns/works a lot more, which means the wife will have disproportionate house work. this will, in turn, decrease sex and that kills passion. once it's a boring routine without passion (and the sense of being desired), hens will cluck

most of the stories posted could have been avoided had the man been more aware of the situation. it may not have fixed it, but at the least, the exit strategy could have been much more rational and controlled.

In fairness, men haven’t been enforcing the societal penalties that would encourage them to have these values.

Marriage isn't about vacations and having fun all of the time and never having issues.

Hallmark movies disagrees with you.
I honestly think, along with the faux "wonderful" lives people post on Facebook, that these movies distort reality too much and women feel their lives could and should be like these movies.
It's comparable to men watching porn, IMO.

Can't wait till this is true. I'll love the day my SO makes 3x me, so I decide to just stay at home and do house work and ferry the kids everywhere.

It'll be awesome. Then when she has a mid life crisis, I'll take my half of the 401k, the house, car, and kids, all while demanding she cuts me a check every month to maintain a standard of living.

it is kind of crazy to think about the ramifications of flipping roles but assuming the same results would occur

men would likely gain even further advancement in the sexual marketplace, and the apex men would still be super powerful/rich

the assumption has to be if we feminize marriage then the results will be drastically different or else it would be one huge arse mega fail

Maybe. Just because you go to church doesn't mean you are a good person.

How does she treat others who have less standing than her? Does she act with integrity?

I do agree with this. There is usually blame on both sides that causes divorces to happen. Us men are sometimes out of touch with what is going on (I know I was) but I will say that women aren't happy just being happy. After they split, they almost always regret their decision and realize what they had. They also start the cycle of relationships that will end just like their first one did. Communication is definitely the key to help alleviate a multitude of problems but it won't fix them all.
