For second marriages it’s 70%

Never again.

I want to keep my time, money and sanity.

I would think FAR LESS people are getting married now than over last 50 years and of those (at least till pandemic) the trend was probably less dire than before - but that’s if you count “how many made it to 15 years” …

I want till one is Dead please .

Oh also “Why do Husbands Die First?” “Because they want to”

…. So I’m still not sure either result is a vote winner over “get a Dog”

Dude. Before you play any game you just need to know the rules in their entirety. The reality is that marriage is “property law”. Plan and simple. So if you need to get married, in my view you only do this because;

1) you are punching above your weight class and you need to keep her 2) the tax benefit is significant (need to add in the cost of divorce which is an tangential curve over time) 3) you are trying to help your spouse become your counties citizen. (By the way for all you American men chasing American women stop now, and look to some impoverished nations like Venezuela- you can thank me later. )

Peace

No but seriously cheatarounds exist, so many women in this world, etc. I found a cheataround, and also reason one.

In the U.S. the number of divorces has actually been decreasing, with 0.25% of the population divorcing in 2020 vs 0.4% in 2000. But, the number of people marrying per year is also decreasing.

Either way, I don't think that 50% number is accurate.

In 2021 there were 1,985,072 marriages and 689,308 divorced and annulments. That's 34.7%.

Even in the year 2000, where there was the largest number of divorces in the last 21 years, the rate was 40.7% for the year.

All of these numbers are for the U.S., and I would assume divorce rates are actually lower in most other countries.

Women and government officials need you to play the game. You gotta step up and be a real man. A real man wouldn't be afraid of those odds as he would be secure enough in his masculinity, resulting in respect from his woman.

It's a long-standing, depressing myth that 50% of marriages in America end in divorce. At that point, why even try, right?

Wrong. In fact, the divorce rate in the United States is going down. It hit a peak of about 41% for people who married 35 years ago and it's been falling ever since. source

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. That was marriage number 1.

Fuck around and find out was marriage number 2.

I saved the best for last . I found someone who made my life so much better that I had no choice to say yes.....

I hope it's. Thrid time is the charm....

morrowrd · 2023-04-24T22:17:56+00:00

I'm never getting married again.

The article left out pathology

I like Bill Burr's stand-up routine about marriage (years ago, before he himself found a Unicorn and got married)....

He asked if people would still go skydiving if 50% of parachutes didn't open. His delivery is a lot better than mine, but that was the joke.

I still like the concept of marriage, however going through a divorce off and on from last summer continuing this January I don’t think I see myself getting married again.

The whole process, especially when involving property and children has made the most evil side of my estranged wife come out. Seeing a pic of her now vs pics of her in previous years when things were stable, she looks like a completely different person. Never a good feeling to see someone one held high in your life be so tainted

Oh yeah, keep in mind it’s never cheap. $500 for a 1hr phone call, gotta love attorneys lol
