I wonder what the stats are for working wives vs stay at home. That's a pretty big distinction.

I’m actually surprised this number isn’t higher. It’s almost always the woman who wants a divorce.

Prenuptials are absolutely essential in 2nd+ marriages, and I agree, they'll hold up.

I had heard on a podcast a while back that the commonly posited stat of half of marriages end in divorce is really more like in the upper 30%.

I'm not surprised that people that divorce once end up divorcing again.

A stat that I'd be curious to see based on my observations is how many children of divorce end up divorced themselves.

And I've never known a woman that filed for divorce without having the next husband lined up.
And how do you think she line him up while still being married ?
It wasn't by keeping her legs closed.
And it's unlikely that he was the first guy she tried monkey branch to.

The people downvoting have not been through the family court system

That reminds me.
He also said all men should be required to spend a day sitting in Divorce Court/Family Court before getting married.

But success seems to depend on the maturity and respectfulness of the two people involved.
Many people seem very shallow today and that reduces the odds of having a happy marriage.


I would argue that selflessness is the biggest factor. Most of the marriages I've seen fall apart are those where one or both spouses can't seem to give up certain things in support of the marriage.

You sound like you are pissed off because you cannot get a decent woman marry you.

I mean, it takes two to get married. Why are some of y’all so bad at picking decent women?

No shite. I make over 3x as much as my spouse. If we get divorced I’m gonna owe hefty alimony and a huge chunk of my retirement.

But there’s no way I’d be where I am today without him.

And there’s your problem right there. A lot of these women are playing men like the stock market. They get in early, spit out a few kids and when their mid 30’s hit, they bounce. They’ve got half his shite, a couple kids for residual income and they’re free to enjoy the prime of their life on his dime.
