Without the incessant social pressure no man would ever get married

Very true! They stay for the children, convenience, laziness, happy roommates, guilt, religion, social pressure, and no other options. FYI: 50% only accounts for 1 failure, not several.

People don't care if people are happy. They care that they do what people think makes them happy. People don't care if you are unhappy in a marriage. Just like they don't care about children or the parents in families. Anything you cannot speak honestly about has something horrible hidden.

Some women would gladly clean their husband out if they made enough money. Some men would take the divorce hit if they could. There are people on both sides that if given a second chance, would wipe their kids out of existence. How many women would leave if they could monkey branch to better options?

You go on ScaryMommy and you'll read several posts from women who were planning on leaving then got pregnant. Now they're staying with the man for financial assistance. Imagine sharing a bed with someone who never wants to see you again. Spending years earning money and she'd rather you die.

Marriage is the leading cause of divorce

GuitarGodV · 2019-01-04T19:12:32+00:00

The 50% divorce rate is nonsense anyway. The stats are multi generational. The baby boomers and late Gen Xers aren't divorcing, the women are too old to find another and they know it.

Would guess Millennials and early Gen X divorce rate (where she still has some of her looks) is more like 80%.

Marriage is dying off as the seniors die off

**I've seen the divorce/age stats but dont have them to cite here

Like they say, 95% of men masturbate, the other 5% just won't admit to it. The same goes for people that are unhappy with their marriage.

Fatality144 · 2019-01-04T18:49:30+00:00

Very true. I only know of 2 maybe 3 marriages that are actually successful out of everyone I know.

In fact some old family friends that I have known my whole life are getting divorced the minute their youngest daughter turns 18 (later this year) and they have been married around 30 years with 5 total children. They have always had major issues but only stayed together because of kids but a bluepill would label that as “successful”.

It's an outstanding Chris Rock bit:

Half of all marriages end in divorce, but think of how many cowards stay.

richbeezy · 2019-01-04T20:23:49+00:00

Lets make a basic (yet likely very accurate) assumption. Let’s apply the divorce rate (50%) to how many are happily married within their marriages.

So 50% are likely unhappily married. So as a whole, only 25% of all marriages end up being happy and loving.

So I now ask you this pretty straightforward question.

Would you be willing to give up all your freedom and half of resources for a 25% chance that it will be worth it?

I sure as hell wouldnt! Maybe its bc I am in Finance and trade stocks. I only make bets when the outcome is strongly in my favor. If you gave me a 25% chance of success then thats a trade I would NEVER make.

teslaistheshit · 2019-01-04T22:06:08+00:00

Yep. My parents are a fine example - staying together because... well, what else are we going to do? For the greater proportion of my life at home, they basically occupied opposite ends of the house and hardly spoke to each other.

Didn't divorce though, so successful marriage, right?

aidsgoblin · 2019-01-04T23:09:06+00:00

My parent's own marriage is precisely this situation and is an even bigger influence on me than divorced couples. My father is just trapped by his own ancient value system whereby it is the man's duty and responsibility to stick with his partner NO MATTER WHAT. He literally has ptsd from the constant abuse my mother has subjected him to over the years.

The divorce rate is 50% the misery rate is 95%

MesaBoogeyMan · 2019-01-05T12:30:04+00:00

So true, almost all my friends are married. Only a couple I would consider somewhat happy .

The man of the happiest household in my extended family told me

You have to be crazy to bring someone into your house, give them shelter, money, food, clean the house, wash the dishes and then they start bossing you around like a mule

It's like a job with no pay check... what's that called again...

gigasimpdeluxe · 2019-01-04T22:40:52+00:00

The divorce rate statistic is just those marriages that we know have failed for sure. There are so many miserable people still married.

cleats4u · 2019-01-05T04:43:08+00:00

That figure does not include the ones that end by death, suicide or incarceration. So make it 60% of marriages end.
