Zero upsides to it as it stands today.
Zero. For the guy. Its a one sided contract only he is held to.
For women its great. Even if it fails they win big.
People change after they get married. You cannot rely that the pre-wife person will be the same after they are the wife.
Like the lottery, for men today, the only way not to lose is to not play the game.
Delusion like yours has screwed a lot of guys in divorce court.
They all think their woman is not like all the others. They are all the same. It is funny how men go to such great lengths to deny this, and are surprised as they keep getting burned and screwed over again and again.
Once you recognize the truth, you can then learn to deal with it effectively. No one can deal with anything properly if they are in denial of it.
my opinion...i dont care who it is...family, friends...lover...married...ITS NOT EASY LIVING WITH ANY ONE!!!..after about 2,3 years, it becomes more and more difficult thing to do. Its all great at first, then the personality clashes happen. Dont wanna be a buzz kill..but its the truth.
The other saying is you only really see the true woman you married when you are in divorce court.
I dunno about that. You can tell a lot by how someone treats a person they dislike and how they treat those they have nothing to gain from.
A vicious person will be vicious in more places than divorce court.
You can also tell a lot about a spouse by how she treats her family.
My wife and Ihave been together for 30 years and it keeps getting better with us. Couldn’t imagine not growing old together. Sad reading about the horrors others have gone through.
I’ve seen too many decent guys get ruined financially and emotionally, all because their wives got bored with them.
I’m 59, and consider myself one of the last Old School Bachelors.
I’m polite and kind to females, and I do have a lot of respect for the few couples I know who seem genuinely devoted to each other.
But you’re not talking about anyone under the age of 50. And who knows what goes on between two people when no one else is watching.
About that...
See, it's not polite to admit the core of feminism is homosexuality. Once you do, sifting out the bad seed becomes much easier. At any rate, that should be an automatic out for a marriage although normally I'm a hardcore opponent of divorce.
Been with my wife almost 53 years. And it was easy.
The magic is simple, find someone you really do love, or can learn to, and NEVER close the lines of communication. If the two of you can sit down and talk, and I mean talk not try to shout the other one down, you can figure out anything. But you both have to budge and make a real effort to understand what your other is saying. Don’t guess, look and ask for the meaning. Don’t break in and destroy the other’s efforts, and in some cases, compromise. It isn’t that painful. Nor is it that tough.
But it is that rewarding.

The Three Divorce Magnets?
Asking the ol’ lady to cook & clean and be happy to greet him when he walks in the door. : )
Divorce needs to be equally and judicially as costly for women as it is for men, then divorce would be cut in half. With the current system most woman hit “pay dirt” in divorce.
I wasn’t referring to myself, but a good friend, who happens to be male.
His wife is a fat slob who spends her day in sweats playing on the computer. She does nothing else.
He sees good looking smart, well dressed , interesting women at work every day.
I keep warning her but she doesn’t listen and I assume that means she doesn’t care.
If She doesn’t, why should he?
Oh, another wife-bashing session? Getting all too frequent around here.
Again, these threads always turn into the most disgusting anti-women attacks, in fact, disgusting in most ways. Seriously, who cares that you married some lady who doesn’t like to sleep with you? Talk about TMI!
Hollywood promoting extramarital affairs, morning and daytime talk show bombardment geared toward housewives, liberal mindset “if it feels good do it”
My solution:
It should cost $10,000 to get married and $50 to get divorced.

LOL!! Not laughing at your brother's misfortune, but at your wisdom and pluck for keeping him from getting stupid for a second time.
