That’s a question Peter Lloyd tackles in a series in London’s Daily Mail about Britain’s marriage rate, which is at its lowest level since 1895. “The state of matrimony is not just ailing. It is dying out faster than a mobile phone battery,” Lloyd writes. “For an army of women, Mr. Right is simply not there, no matter how hard they look for him.”

I think they get women like that for a booty call but don’t see the reality that the one they are about to marry was someone else’s booty call.
Please note that I said later that I was not referring to things bought during the relationship. I am very much aware of both genders’ stupid purchasing tendencies - such as women spending family money on shoes, purses, designer crap - so it’s not just one side that’s responsible for that.
No, it’s very common for family courts to award half of the man’s pre-marriage assets to the woman. I can’t be more specific than that due to who I work for, but I’ve seen more than enough cases where the man didn’t blow family money on toys and his pre-marriage stuff was ordered sold or given to the woman.
If they come to this country it would be much more difficult if not impossible for these Asian women to divorce, being in a foreign country, not knowing many people, maybe not speaking the language, no chance of a good job and no citizenship. So they’re going to hang around for a time.
However those I’ve known who have adjusted well to this country, learned the language, obtained work etc. end up divorcing the man who brought them here...
Child support has been extended to age 26 as part of Obamacare. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2916522/posts
ROFLMAO !!! Now that was funny !!!
If a woman has had a lot of sexual partners, I do not view it negatively based on morality. However, in the more extreme end of the spectrum, it can be indicative of mental problems.
I thought this was a conservative site. So many conversations about inner city black families with no father present and how it is affecting our country. And yet most people here are saying how horrible marriage is!
Just a tip to those that just can't seem to find “the one”— stop looking! When you least expect it love comes to you. And don't settle— anything that seems like a little problem or disagreement usually gets bigger over time. I have a friend from college who just can't understand why she can't find anyone— but she only looks in bars with guys looking for one night stands! I met my husband at work. I was his boss! It was a long process from meeting to marriage. I didn't do things just because I thought it would please him at the time. We got to know each other honestly. People like this are out there!
lol. That was a GREAT POST!!!!
“Child support has been extended to age 26 as part of Obamacare. “
YOU ARE SO VERY VERY WRONG.
It IS a conservative site, and if we knew any men that actually fit your hypothetical description, we'd agree with you.
There’s always the alternative of living in their country.
“Go watch the courts in person. You might be surprised”
Perhaps if you spent less time in the court room you might have a better attitude?
Really. States are putting severe restrictions on alimony and child support.
For example, Florida has a bill that says in marriages of less than 11 years there will be NO alimony!
And child support is limited in time and amount based on the parents ability to pay.
Good to know. I couldn't tell from your post.
The truth is, there is no real gender gap between men and women. The so-called gender gap almost completely disappears when you correct for the fact that 12.8% of the female population votes 95% for Dems. That's right. Take away the votes of Black females, and there is virtually no gender gap.
In fact, you can predict almost exactly how a woman is going to vote based on how long she has been married. If she's single, she's far more likely to vote for liberals. If she's married -- especially if she has been married a long time or has children -- she's far more likely to vote for conservatives.
Oh, they will always do that unless there’s pre-nup; and vice versa (sometimes the woman has more assets, after all).
But I really DO see this often. Guys tend to spend WAY more money on collecting big ticket items that do maintain value. Women tend to spend money on clothing the kids, making the house look nice, etc...most women are not collectors of expensive things.
Then a divorce occurs and the guy thinks he should get to “keep his stuff” while the wife gets the used furniture...even though the money for both came out of the collective earnings and the value of the latter goes to basically “zero” once used.
It’s always fun when I write an appraisal on an $80,000 gun collection, to find that the other side has some handwritten notes from a friend/dealer of the husband that values the same collection at $10,000. Yea...right...LOL! These are the guys bitching like little girls about the women getting “half his stuff.”
“There are men who want just too much—a working wife, perfect house, meals every night, care for the kids, and evening recreation to boot. Woman is exhausted.”
I met my wife of 28 years in Japan. During those years she has worked not a single day, nor did I ever demand a “perfect” house. I did want her to pitch in with the kids while I was at work.
What American women have lost sight of is that “I do” also means “I will.” Very often TV and movie plots involve wives extorting their husbands by withholding sex. This is a great moral wrong. Of course husbands must be considerate of their wives’ physical and emotional condition, but wives must be considerate of their husbands’ needs.
“Assets the man owned prior to the marriage. Obviously, things bought during the marriage often should be split 50/50. However, the way courts are now, things like his motorcycle collection, his record collection, things he had before the relationship? Sorry, she gets half anyway.”

What is a wife to you?
You see I think a lot of the problems with marriages are too high expectations of what marriage is. Also that all relationships take work. Good marriages don’t just happen they are created by the two within that relationship.
