My father remarried within 3 years of the divorce, and from that time on, was essentially absent from my life (he had plenty of time for his new wife and her three children, but little for me). My mother remarried within 4 years of the divorce, and since I lived with her, I had to deal with a stepfather in the house.
Needless to say, essentially losing both of my parents to some new spouse who didn't give a damn about me didn't do much for my upbringing. And both of the new spouses eventually convinced both of my parents to move far away - to Florida (I live in New Jersey).
Whether my skepticism stems from that experience, or from what I have seen and heard among my friends and coworkers (about 85% of the marriages seem to be pretty miserable, and the divorces overwhelmingly punish the men beyond all reason), I am not sure.
As mentioned in this article, I do have a hard time trusting the women I date, at least when it comes to considering marriage. There's just too much for me to lose if it ends up in a divorce. As I explained it to a friend recently, marriage is a gamble, and one that favors women by a wide margin. For a guy, marriage is like a bet on the flip of a coin (50/50 odds) where he has to put down $95 and if he wins, he gets $100 back. For the woman, its the same bet, but she only puts down $5, and if she wins, she gets $100 back. Who on earth would risk $95 to win $5? On the other hand, who wouldn't risk $5 to win $95? This is why women are almost always the ones who push for marriage, and why men are often very reluctant.
My point is that I am not sure if it was my childhood with divorced parents, or the incredibly anti-male divorce court system, that makes me hesitant about marriage. Maybe it's both.
