That's beautiful, but divorces after 30 yrs of marriage exist.


Gray Divorce has the 2nd highest divorce rate of any age demographic.

This is because your perspective on marriage is flawed. You're looking at it as a transaction. It's not a transaction. It's a vow to someone else that you will be by their side forever.

The dumb shite about one side providing X and one side providing Y is precisely why marriages fail so frequently. You don't ow your wife financial stability. You'd love to provide it, but if she runs for the hills as soon as that aspect is gone, I'm very sorry to say this, she didn't like you from the jump. And likewise, if a woman lets herself go, or goes through something in life where she is less affectionate, and that makes you frick something else, then maybe you didn't like her all that much.

If you go into a marriage with anything other than "I love this person and we want the same things", you're fricked. Fundamentally, this board doesn't understand this for some reason.

Thinking abt it though, if someone asked me if I would take a happy 30+ yr marriage, resulting in an extended family and an inevitable divorce, I'd probably still take it.

Statistics say I should go for it.

Half of marriages end in divorce and nearly 80% of divorces are initiated by the wife.
So 40% off all marriages are ended by the wife.
And you think the statistics say you should go for it ?
Those statistics tell me to avoid marriage like the plague, or at least get a prenup and pray that it holds up in court.

And you also think it would be worth it even if she divorced you after 30 years ?
Do you not understand how getting divorced at 60 would destroy you financially ?
Not only would you lose half of everything, but you would probably have to pay alimony for the rest of your life.
But hey, it was worth it because you got some extended family ?
wtf ?

It can be. But most of the time guys marry street walkers thinking they love them. Same for women that have kids by fricking idiots. Vet the person you are giving a ring to and understand the commitment you're making.

Marriage without God is not marriage. (Satan likes this)

Marriage with God is sacred and holy. (Satan despises this)

Can someone tell these BR ambulance chasers to stop having a dance contest on social media? Just when I thought an injury attorney couldn’t be more of a douche, they elevate their loser status. I swear these ambulance chasers would teabag elephant nuts to get business. It’s pathetic and we all hate them!

Are you the same micro-penis poster that keeps creating accounts and starting posts about marriage?

Idk, I think this is the most important part to me.

Also, I was comparing that scenario to never marrying and creating a lineage.

Yes. Its the same alter that starts these same threads almost weekly.

Nothing says "I'm secure with my life decisions" like constantly seeking affirmation from strangers on the internet.

I see a lot of silly Low IQ replies that don't address, let alone debunk, what the attorney said


His initial premise is false. Most of his claims are either false or lead to the failure of a marriage, rendering them false as well.

0/10 for your troll efforts. Try another one. Hopefully you'll get better at it.

It's not a binary choice of stay single OR marry some shitty freeloading woman.

I got served in year 32. I'm caregiver to my 90 y/o mother. I wouldn't wish this shite on ANYONE, even Mingo. We can talk, we now have a granddaughter. My kids are grown, and living their lives, I go through life feeling like a failure. Oh I have my routines and a certain contentment and accomplishment, but that's about it, and it certainly doesn't replace a loving spouse, kids, and grandkids on a regular basis.

My situation was perfect. Wife worked for the law firm. Attorney babysat my daughter while he was going to law school.

Divorce became the only solution.

Attorney and I sat down.
“Florida law says 50% agree?”

“Agree”

Done….


And we all are still friends to this day.

Nothing.

I am someone who is pro-marriage myself, I’ve listened to many of Sexton’s podcasts and I actually agree with much of what he says.

Which is why I know that this particular clip is taken out of context. In it, he was making an argument for prenuptial agreements. He was not making an anti-marriage argument. He’s actually pro-marriage.

Declaring that a dead thing is dead does not necessarily mean you are the one that killed it.
