Insane how normalized financially compensating women is. In Canada she is entitled to half your house and assets after only three years of dating.

xcheshirecatxx · 2022-06-11T13:02:49+00:00

Not "in Canada"

Quebec made a judgment saying if you want married privileges, you have to get married

NeoNotNeo · 2022-06-11T11:59:21+00:00

A freind moved out there ages ago and tells me it’s nuts. The Province is kinda like Texas so this is confusing. Guys are breaking up around year two especially if there’s any doubt about relationship. Which is a good thing overall. The delusion about how much we value sex is fuelled by this type of lunacy. I like it. But not enough to give someone a home, or a car. For most women barely a meal.

63daddy · 2022-06-11T14:27:59+00:00

This is why men need to be aware of “common law” and ensure they don’t fall under it. It’s one of the reasons why I never allowed a girlfriend to actually move in with me, and insisted she keep her own place.

fogoticus · 2022-06-11T18:48:09+00:00

3 years of dating? So you don't even have to be married for her to fuck your life up?

Jesus, Run.

JwPATX · 2022-06-11T12:48:28+00:00

What a weird law…it’s like extra compassionate for women, but with the assumption that it’s the 50s/they have no agency in their lives.

weirdornxtlvl · 2022-06-11T13:25:32+00:00

Oh, so less men are getting married, which means a huge source of money transfer is lost, so now even if you are in a relationship of 3 years you could lose half your assets/property.

This is what it takes to be in a "A relationship of interdependence":

share one another's lives
are emotionally committed to one another
function as an economic and domestic unit

basicslovakguy · 2022-06-11T15:55:26+00:00

I haven't read an actual law, but this caught my attention:

Adult interdependent partners are defined as people who live together for at least three years, or who live and have a child together, if they have cohabited for less than three years.
Two people can enter into an adult interdependent agreement. The relationship can be conjugal or platonic.

Can somebody explain to me, how exactly this can be proved, or rather, what will be the basis for decision ? Am I supposed to show all communication with a woman to show that we weren't really in relationship ?

Seems to me as if the law was deliberately written to not give any chance for a clear-cut decision making.

Edit: Now that I think, this is even worse than it looks like. Suppose that I cohabitate with a woman with which I never explicitly discussed any relationship - think college/dorm type of cohabitation - what happens then ? She can claim that we were in "platonic" relationship, which is basically impossible to disprove, and then I am hooked on splitting stuff because of this.

Let them keep engineering their own lonely despair.

WeEatBabies · 2022-06-11T14:39:32+00:00

2 years in Nova-Scotia!

Forced marriage is considered a form of slavery by the U.N., but is ok when feminist do it!

And god forbid she becomes pregnant during those 2-3 years, you are now married, and this is your kid, even if you got a vasectomy, you are legally the parent.

Forcing people into parenthood is ok when feminist do it.

In Canada feminist work 20% less than men!!! https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/71-222-x/2008001/c-g/desc/desc-h1-eng.htm

In other words, these laws allow for feminist to redirect a full 20% of the GDP from men's pockets to women's bank account!

20% of the GDP in stolen wages and houses!!!!

chakan2 · 2022-06-11T17:31:45+00:00

IMHO... The really fucked up thing in that bill is it applies to platonic relationships... So if you have a female roommate for 3 years, you're potentially fucked.

Oncefa2 · 2022-06-11T12:34:06+00:00

For anyone who wants to complain about "traditional gender norms", "patriarchal values", or "institutional discrimination", that's literally what this is.

If you are against "the patriarchy" or "gender norms", then you ought to be against things like this.

This is the root cause of many gender related issues in society, including but not limited to the wage gap, and taking women less seriously in professional environments.

Because men are institutionally and systematically forced to hand over their money to women, they work more, work harder, and therefore earn more money (as well as the respect of their professional colleagues).

Stuff like this also causes a housework gap and a childwork gap since the man is so busy earning money to have enough to give to his wife or girlfriend.

Gender equality won't just help men, but will also help women. Remember that next time you think something like this isn't important.

ChaosOpen · 2022-06-11T14:40:03+00:00

So essentially, if a woman rents a room in a man's house for three years, when she leaves she is entitled to half of the house?

Drougen · 2022-06-11T19:11:37+00:00

It's actually pretty crazy. Imagine being entitled to someone's stuff just for existing.

DirtyPartyMan · 2022-06-11T14:54:21+00:00

Aaaaand what’s he entitled to?

When people are, by law, entitled to someone else’s earnings they abuse them. Disrespect the work and the person behind the money.

Look at our government. Money is, by law, entitled. Do they spend it for the people?

Not when every senator gets $40,000 -- and potentially more -- for furniture in their home-state offices.

For many that’s a year’s salary

GnomeChompy · 2022-06-11T13:05:37+00:00

Kinda bullshit but one positive that I gleaned from the story.

Bill 28 also repeals an antiquated law from 1922 called the Married Women's Act, which gave women the right the ability to own, acquire and sell property, enter into contracts, deal with their own debts, and enforce their civil or property rights without their husband's knowledge or consent.

Canada may be gynocentric in practice, but at least they replaced clearly sexist laws with ones that are more neutral.

thinkAboutItAgain9 · 2022-06-11T13:12:35+00:00

Splitting assets 50/50 is unfair to men because men make so much more money than women. Women having no money is an unfair burden on men.

Ownyourfreedom · 2022-06-12T02:32:06+00:00

Exactly, it's bullshit. Alimony should be abolished and you should only be entitled to what you paid into the relationship not automatically half of everything. They always say you can get a job to men when they complain, women can get a job too. There's no excuse. A partners income is a benefit of the relationship, not an entitlement after it's over.

FastidiousFalcon · 2022-06-11T17:59:57+00:00

…and people wonder why we have record low marriage and birth rates?! 🤔

Cartographer9 · 2022-06-11T18:59:30+00:00

Of DATING???? Not even marriage? Holy fucking shit.

Rules like this would make sense if women were not allowed to work. But they fucking are.

Primary-Permit257 · 2022-06-11T13:10:46+00:00

Ya Canada sucks. No freedom there.

pappo4ever · 2022-06-11T21:26:48+00:00

How do they define the start of dating?

Can you just stop dating for a week every two years and 'makeup' and then you don't have to pay? dating is not strictly defined like marriage, so this law is stupid.

ignatztempotypo · 2022-06-11T22:54:27+00:00

Holy Fucking fuck! "or platonic"

I can't wait for the first case of a roommate suing for half of everything comes 'round.

This is outrageous.

Women will just keep pushing the limits until they are prevented. Buckle up boys, it ain't getting any better for a good while.

rodrigogirao · 2022-06-11T19:18:31+00:00

I'd burn down the house before letting it be stolen.

mikekh9 · 2022-06-11T14:33:14+00:00

Iran has the law of Mehria that looting the present and future property of a man is done even after his death by a woman.

Crassard · 2022-06-11T22:17:40+00:00

In Canada a girl can take everything you own and then some soon as she walks through the door, apparently.

I remember just moving in with a girl and everywhere I went they're like "Yea, you're common law lol" like woah, okay.

ChadWolf98 · 2022-06-12T01:33:05+00:00

Damn dating apps should have warnign labels like cigarettes have. "Warning: after 3 years of dating your relationship counts as common law marriage"

AndyBrown65 · 2022-06-12T04:56:37+00:00

There's no issue if the assts accumulated through joint effort are divided 50/50. The issue is that the assets before the partnership are considered.

Imagine you're a man with a $10M business, two $600K homes, car etc. You hook up with some "Amber Heard" who you shag senselessly for 3 years, she isn't working, but you kindly decide to pay off her $100K of debts for her. She has no assets going in.

Suddenly, on the 3 year anniversary the card gets pulled. Your business is now worth $12M and she has an extensive Louis Voutton hand bag collection etc. Your home is now worth $800K and your investment property $750K. You've bought her a black Porsche Cayenne for her 40th birthday.

Despite contributing nothing, she can now claim (at least) half of those assets, so essentially walks away with about $6-7M. Not a bad return.... In the meantime, he takes out a $6M loan to cover her payout.

If you ask anyone with a sense of justice, having her debts paid off is probably good compensation and that's where it should end. Any compensation should be limited to the assets during the relationship.

This BS happened to a distant cousin of mine who was the custodian of my GG grandparents farm that had been in the family for 150 years. He meets Sonia*, a nurse with nothing. After a relationship, she wants half the farm, which was worth millions. He has to take out a loan which almost bankrupts him. He is now working as a farmhand for another farmer and the family farm is now sharefarmed by another distant cousin. The family farm that has been in the family since 1861 is still in the family, but the revenue from the farm essentially covers the interest on the loan he took out. How is that fair? (I would love to see how feminists justify that)

InteractionSlow4360 · 2022-06-11T21:37:18+00:00

I’m Canadian! I’ve lived here my whole life! Today this is one of the WORST countries of the civilized/democratic countries to live in. Our PM is out to take over full control of the population. Don’t come here as so many of us want to leave….the western provinces want to separate from the rest of the country, Quebec wants to leave, this country is falling apart….stay away!!!!!!

avgguy33 · 2022-06-11T18:28:13+00:00

Canada sucks

Skinwalker686 · 2022-06-11T15:30:26+00:00

I believe it varies by province; also, don't you have to legally declare yourselves common law? You're not just magically common-law once you've been together for a set amount of time right?

NeoNotNeo · 2022-06-11T22:28:51+00:00

Can someone explain why it appears like I am downvoting my own post. Is been happening for days. Am I hacked

Ferbuggity · 2022-06-11T14:08:01+00:00

Divide and conquer tactics again... I think the worst thing you can do to these bishes is choose a sane woman (or man, hey) and have a happy fulfilled life. And vote them into the ground at election time.

cjgager · 2022-06-11T20:11:46+00:00

just do what the state of new jersey has done since 1939 - - - common law "marriage" and/or hook up ain't recognized

thedeadllama · 2022-06-11T20:59:58+00:00

You have to live together for 3 years not just date, but yea

pumpkinpeopleunite · 2022-06-11T13:13:12+00:00

Look on the bright side. You are entitled to half HER house and assets after only three years of dating!

thnxMrHofmann · 2022-06-11T19:23:13+00:00

Is that assuming you don't have an LLC? Haha

jesusofseks · 2022-06-11T22:54:52+00:00

I think in Australia it is 6 months of an official relationship. Official means, do people view you as a couple, so even if she has been a hookup for 12 months and her friends see you as a couple there can be a claim.

IllustriousPiano7300 · 2022-06-11T23:22:07+00:00

Simple solution. Date a woman wealthier than you.

eyesayhello · 2022-06-12T02:28:35+00:00

Now it can even be "platonic." So, no longer term roommates. You gotta be joking.

ThorpeRave · 2022-06-12T03:28:31+00:00

Sounds like a Canada problem to me

drakenpage222 · 2022-06-12T04:42:30+00:00

And America right now.

MastermindX · 2022-06-12T04:58:27+00:00

Every man in Canada after 2 years and 355 days of dating: "Honey, we need to talk..."

swaiuk · 2022-06-12T05:00:05+00:00

I don't believe these laws are gendered, are they? It goes both ways equally.

mgtowolf · 2022-06-12T05:27:06+00:00

This is why I change buttlers and live in maids every other year. There are a few of us that switch off, it's great.

aigars2 · 2022-06-12T07:36:50+00:00

analytically · 2022-06-12T07:59:50+00:00

Similar in Scotland

ExpensiveBumblebee83 · 2022-06-12T09:10:32+00:00

Wtf only 3 years of dating fuck that hahahah may as well be single lol

69johnnysins · 2022-06-12T09:46:08+00:00

1) Marriage is IPO for women
2) Divorce is cashing out.
3) Children produces passive income for women enforced by the government

Sewblon · 2022-06-12T11:10:03+00:00

Adult interdependent partners are defined as people who live together
for at least three years, or who live and have a child together, if they
have cohabited for less than three years.

Its not enough to date for 3 years. You need to live together for 3 years or have a kid. Giving someone half your stuff for 3 years of dating would just be silly.

barrathefknworld · 2022-06-13T01:01:43+00:00

In Australia, it’s one year of cohabitation.

Sad_Flounder_5303 · 2022-06-11T19:40:06+00:00

No wonder you guys are alone. Money isn’t everything in life. A good partner is worth infinitely more.

I earn more than twice my husband’s salary but we equally share whatever we bring home. I acknowledge that his love and support played a large part in my successes, and I am happy to give him more than half of our assets if he should ever decide to leave me.
