This is stupid, even for you. You think boomers invented marriage?

When in the story did I say I was married?

They’re declining because America has created millions of young omega males that are simply not marriageable

Not a gamble if you do your homework and choose the right person.
Almost 70% of recurring relationship disagreements never get resolved.
The key here for couples that are failing (or have failed) is they get "stuck in a rut" and are constantly focusing on the negative.
The ones that win have developed the ability to move forward together (let it go), respecting each other's opinion, communicate as opposed to just "talk" to each other, and accept your spouse for who they are. Easier said than done because we are all selfish individuals and many times our pride will get in the way --- and we have "to be right."

It’s hard to get a concrete number due to a number of factors but if college educated couples marry, the divorce rate is less than 25% in the first 25 years.

Yep. I can only think of 1 marriage that I was legitimately shocked that it ended in divorce.

If you never played any ball and never got in any fights and never got hit in the balls, then you haven't really lived. Occasionally marriage is like getting hit in the balls.

Didn’t read that wall of text but it depends on the person. I’ve said over and over I hope I go first because I’m not sure I could live without Mrs. Cotten.
If you look at marriage solely as a means for having children or finances, you’re going in for the wrong reasons. I know many couples with kids who aren’t married with no plans of getting married that are much better parents than most married couples. The wedding is just a ceremony and if you have problems going in, it doesn’t solve any issues. The day before the wedding and the day after are the same.
We lived together prior to marriage (so I guess “in sin”) for about a year prior to our wedding and neither of us had any reservations. Id recommend that to anyone considering marriage.

I'm not so sure this is true
divorce rate is dropping mostly because poor people that normally got married then divorced are now just not getting married as much
Posted on 6/17/20 at 10:30 am to lionking69
does that 50% take in account that people that get divorced usually get divorced multiple times?

Let's imagine that its a Thursday night in the middle of October and you get home from a long days work, sit down on your couch, crack open a beer, and flip on ESPN. Temple vs. USF kicks off in about 30 miunutes. You don't really give a frick about either team so you go online and place a bet to make things a little more interesting while you watch. You see the that the game is a pick em and decide to do a little research. Temple is at home and are top 10 in defensive efficiency. USF started out the year hot, but have lost their last 2, so you say frick it that's some good value and put some pizza money on the Owls.
This is one strange analogy, but it describes me to a T.
You sound young and just haven't met her yet. When you do you won't second guess yourself. You also probably won't make the mistake of asking a question like this on the OT again either.

one vagina is epitome of beta dude. think about it.

Sub-30% and falling.
2) i wonder how much of this has to do with trashy people (who would definitely get divorced) not bothering to get married anymore
