UK: Divorces outnumbered marriages for the first time in 2020 due to Covid OP : Financially reckless to get married these days.

Men have a 5% chance of leaving a marriage. Women 45%. It's literally a 900% greater incidence. And they walk away with half your stuff plus support. You have better odds putting half your assets down on a single hand of blackjack (50.1%).

My divorce cost me $500K. Never again, and you shouldn't either.

Glad to see men are waking up to the reality that marriage is nothing more than a wealth transfer scam from men to women and lawyers.

This can’t be good for a society to live this way. Families matter.

Benefits women only and the next thing you know, half is hers and you can never retire.

As a man, If you want to keep your sanity :

no marriage
no cohabitation (risk of being considered deemed marriage under the common law)
no children
protect your seed 💦
protect your signature ✍️
if you are a passportbro, stay in that country. Don’t move back here with her
record her consent and archive the documentation on drive/cloud. Keep all WhatsApp and other conversations too even if you have broken up with her. You will probably need it several years from now. Never underestimate her power to accuse you even after 20-25 years. You need the evidence to back you up. Otherwise it’s her words against yours
safe sex in 2023 means when she doesn’t know your real name, where you live/work and your phone no.
never lose your frame; learn to say no often.
do not invest in a so-called relationship/situationship what you are not willing to lose (including time, physical health, emotional health and money)
finally, and most important : no single mamas.

Marriage has become something that only benefits women (like most things in society). Literally explain to me what men are supposed to get out of marriage? it is simply a way in which women can legally steal all the assets you have earned.

My brother recently got divorced - he worked his entire life for a house that his wife took. She took the kinds away from him. She kept the car. He now sleeps in a 1 bedroom flat despite being the hardest worker in that relationship... Makes me wonder how this shit is even legal.

Likely an outlier due to the UK banning ceremonies during covid. I'd be interested to know what the UK marriage rates were in 2021 and 2022. Suspect it was higher to compensate.

In general I support marriage. It makes for healthier and more stable families. Everyone just needs to be careful, selective and responsible when dating to find the right person.

Financial Suicide in most cases for men.🐮

50% of marriages end in divorce.

80% of divorces are initiated by women.

90% if she’s college educated.

90% of child support payments go from men to women.

97% of alimony payments go from men to women.

Sorry not sorry, there really is no other way to say it except, it's not at all smart to get into a contract, of which only women are incentivised to break.

Only a fool would get married today, i would even say only a fool would agree being a boyfriend today in a western society. FWB/casual will get her best side while you get the baggage the badboy inprinted her with.

NeoNotNeo · 2023-05-13T03:58:57+00:00

Marriage is and has always been a financial services contract.

Divorce is responsible for the greatest wealth transfer in history without producing anything other than misery.

Men woke up

Rinse. Repeat.

Livid_Pilot7043 · 2023-05-12T13:41:37+00:00

Well lads make sure you marry a rich girl

igloohavoc · 2023-05-12T19:31:37+00:00

Looking back, I wouldn’t get married. Being with a partner and having kids seems left financially painful. Partner can’t take the house you bought on your own before ever meeting.

WrongdoerEvening7442 · 2023-05-13T01:40:56+00:00

Risk losing everything you own to someone who has taken zero risk and can take all your shit at the drop of a hat. Love is Santa Claus for adults another bullshit story that we tell our selves just to make it through the week.

Forsaken-Tune-4985 · 2023-05-13T13:16:58+00:00

I don't why men in the west are still getting married like its a complete scam for you

Spirited-Road-4345 · 2023-05-12T10:56:50+00:00

Westernized women are useless and belong on the street.

brokenwokegirl · 2023-07-30T01:07:40+00:00

If you have to carry your partner it = divorce. Can’t have an unrealistic expectation when one does not contribute.

People need to get right with God and Jesus

This appears to have been due to the restrictions caused by Covid. Still, the "cooling off period" it provided may result in a lot of men rethinking their marital plans.

Dranox0 · 2023-05-13T00:16:19+00:00

Omg it is almost like a lot of couples relied on having some time away from eachother to keep the relationship stable or somthing.
