If you're living together, no different than married

No, except of course, that by law, we're not.

Take emotions out of it and look at it objectively. You leave, she gets half, she leaves, she still gets half. At BEST you get to see your kids on the weekends unless she's a complete crackhead.
Women are smart enough to realize how the game works, men despite our reputation as the "more logical" ones make dumb emotional decisions and then get bit in the arse down the line.
Regardless, its your life, do as you wish. Just saying make the smart decision for YOU and your future

Well, everything you said is true. It just depends on the partner you pick. If you can see pass pussy, you should be able to see their character.Posted on 7/1/19 at 12:20 pm to DeafJam73
I disagree. The only person you TRULY know is yourself, people change, once she's got you by the "legal balls". She has no reason to be good to you anymore, its stupid to put yourself in a position to where she can frick you over.
At the end of the day, marriage is just a financial agreement, its not like the gov't can guarantee you genuine affection from your partner. If you are gonna get married, atleast marry well(on your level).

If that were true, why would couples cohabitate? Vacation together? Have kids?

Joke’s on her. I’ll be poor forever. Half of nothing is nothing.
But seriously, live how you want to. I think you’ll miss out on a lot of good things with that mindset, though. If having a family is not something you desire, then marriage isn’t for you.

Are you suggesting this works out better if you never married their mother?
FWIW, my husband has 50/50 custody of his child. So there is a better “at best.”

If you have reached 40 and never been married, i would just accept it’s that point.
No need to try and set yourself up for failure at that point.
You are pretty set in your ways by then and probably aren’t gonna do well with having to put someone else ahead of yourself by that age if you have never done it before

Did you decide that you’d never get married, or did the rest of the world decide that for you? /j

You can't go on vacation or have kids without being married? I must have missed that day of biology class where they mentioned that sperm cells only work post marriage.
I didn't say relationships are pointless, I said MARRIAGE is.
When a woman says she wants marriage for "security" that means financial security cause its not like the gov't is gonna come put a gun to your head forcing you to love her.
If you want to take an emotional view , thats fine, i just choose to look at it more realistically

In a way yes, lots of times the wife will become a stay at home mom after marriage and kids and the judge will look way more favorably on that in custody since she's there more often. If you don't get married, the woman isn't gonna give up her job/career so if anything you have a better shot at proving your kid needs you.

31 now; no real intention anytime soon. Maybe one day but it's not in my near future.

Depending on what state you live in, by law you might actually be married

You’re not a woman, so you don’t have a biological window. A biological clock ticking, never too late.

I'm not saying this doesn't happen, but in a lot of these cases, the dudes had a fricking horrible judgment of character to begin with and chose people that the outside world knew were pieces of shite/batshit crazy from the beginning.
Lots of people, both men and women, are completely blind to how terrible the person they fall in love with is. Then they act blindsided when everything blows up. Just because so many make this mistake does not mean that all men or women are blanketed psycho assholes.
One of my [male] friends is going through a pretty horrific divorce right now. Our mutual other [male] friend did it 2 years ago. In both cases, the wives were pretty much disliked by the rest of the group from day 1. It was so obvious they were going to end up in this situation, but they were both FLOORED when it happened.
