“Sad to see so many bad reviews of marriage.“

Who wants to read about a good marriage?

As a female who got burned in many ways by marriage, I do understand the men that feel this way. And I do too. I wish they would understand it’s a kind of person that abuses the hard work and sacrifice of the spouse, not a gender. Men are just as capable of abusing their spouses financially and emotionally. You have to be unkind, unfair, and very self absorbed. And both genders can achieve that.

A fair comment. Statements about "all women" are like generalizing about the trustworthiness of mammals.

Over the many years reading Divirce comments, the score is 100s of men ruined, 0 women effected and 100s of women rewarded.

The State propagates problems like divorce, otherwise State workers do not get paid. Power divides and conquers the male. After rewarding the female, her wealth is then vulnerable. Then she refinances and adds debt. The predators keep attacking.

The main problem is a couple inviting outside predators into a marriage. The women I have seen are financially illiterate. The State destroys. The State benefits. It is creating vulnerable women targets where social predators can attack such as banks.

I hate to say it but women can be dumb as a rock about money, and that puts the marriage at risk. I have noticed the ease at which women add money debt to marriage while the man wants freedom and responsibility.

Good Christian values is a balance.
But a man must say no to hundreds of secular women.
Say no to hundreds of women.

Why would any woman want a white man who is a bumbling idiot, weak, easily fooled, childish and feminine to the core? With all the strong, intelligent, hard working minority men out there, my recommendation is do as the women in the commercials do, go for the tall, dark and handsome dudes. At least that is the message we get from the media.

Before liberals hijacked the western world, the ideal woman was Mrs. Cleaver. She took pride in her appearance and understood her role as wife and mother.

Then liberals took over. Now the ideal woman is a bi-sexual whore, has tattoos, drinks like a fish, cusses like a sailor and has a dime a day coke habit.

Plus, she's stupid. She can't compose a legible sentence, but she's bought into the propaganda that she has worth.

Why would a man want that?

On the other hand, pajama boy.........

You’ll be lucky if you get away with a one bedroom apartment and a beat up pick up truck! However in some cases that’s worth it rather than staying in it.

Lived that for 15 years. She kept me destitute while she remarried and lived in relative comfort. I lived with “the hood” because I couldn’t afford better despite a 6-figure salary. The annual increase in CS was higher than my actual raise... especially after taxes, which CS is an after tax expense.

That’s when I knew deep down, that OJ did it.

Because too many women make it too easy for men to avoid marriage by being content to live in non marriage relationships. My grandma used to say “Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?”

Currently, there is a disincentive for men to marry and an incentive for women to divorce. Until laws are modified to alter the unfairness, nothing will change.

So sorry to hear you are going thru such a difficult time with your spouse and her illness...I have a bit of understanding and great sympathy for you both having lost my wife of 38 years 3 years ago to lung disease after a long illness...

Never once did I feel sorry for myself during the time I was her caregiver, but was grateful to have her and considered it my duty to the one I love, and a privilege caring for her...I’d gladly do it all over again to have her back...

God Bless You and best wishes for you and you wife...

I guess people work things out now for what suites them....I know a guy and gal in their mid 40’s, they’ve been together for 5 years yet ‘neither’ wants to live together nor marry. They like it fine just the way it living life daily on their own.

...”She wanted to be a homemaker, and I was fine with that. We lived within our means but did not deprive ourselves”...

Beautiful!..... my brother married in his 40’s...his wife is also a homemaker and he’s very content as is she.

Don’t you find it interesting the state is nowhere to be found when people get married, but when you get divorced, that’s when they get their pounds of flesh.

“family court” racket rakes in over 60 billion dollars a year.

Borders on entrapment given the state also has made it so easy for people to divorce.

It could be true that men get screwed more by the court. But ask any woman with money who married a guy who tricked her out of it from her good nature and good heart, and you will see that we don’t rack Up too many advantages.

Like the post just below - I think men have it worse legally when the marriage is officially over. But in the “everything mine is yours” phase, both partners have the potential to lose big.

Yes, dictionary wise. I could choose to write perfect grammar and syntax but mostly I choose colloquial even online. I know the difference between those words and I synthesize the colloquial meaning of ‘gender’ into it.
