If you and your friends’ marriages are good then that’s great. The fact that you’re annoyed by this thread and going the ad hominem route is the kind of thing women do. You’re so transparently in your feelings right now.

Tempted to not neg.
you sound somewhat triggered buddy

thread not go the way you planned?

this. and it stands to reason. Superficial people marry for the wrong reason and the communication breaks down.

It's incredibly simple, but marry someone that makes you laugh and is great in bed. The rest is just details you can work through.

Look man you’re the one who wanted to neg me over a mere observation simply because you didn’t agree. What evidence do you have that men who get divorced are trashy people? That’s a hell of a thing to say.

Ask yourself this question. If it were a proven fact that only (or even mostly) men who get divorced are trashy people, would that excite you or disappoint you? You want to believe that people who get divorced are trashy because you can’t see how that wouldn’t be the case. But I see quite the opposite all the time and there are so many stats out there to disprove your desired explanation.

If you say that you’re happily married then I believe you and am actually happy to hear that that’s the case. Just seems like you threw up an unwarranted generalization based on what you’d like to be the case.

My older brother is a model citizen, devout Christian, successful, etc and he came razor thin close to getting a divorce and it wasn’t because he was a trashy person. I know you’re gonna say “Well then he saved his marriage because he wasn’t trashy.” That’s a really thin line you’re drawing between being a good or trashy person.

According to the study, financial disagreements were the strongest disagreement types to predict divorce for both men and women. In a poll conducted bywww.DivorceMagazinedot com this summer, the leading cause of divorce was found to be financial issues, followed closely by basic incompatibility.

How does this tie in to being a trashy person? Maybe if the reasoning for bad finances was drug abuse or whatever, then I can see that. But this data doesn’t really seem to back up the theory that people who get divorced are “trashy”

I believe you and that’s good to hear.

I didn’t make this thread because I wanted to hear a bunch of stories similar to my own. It’s actually quite refreshing. Gives me hope that maybe marriage could still be in my future. I don’t desire a hedonistic lifestyle and see life without a family as disappointing and unfulfilling. Just not ecstatic about the risks.

look pal - your brother got married in which case I assume he made a pledge (before God if he's a Christian) to stay with his wife forbetter or for worse.
...and you say your brother was thinking about divorce because his wife became depressed and put on weight?

Newsflash: your brother is trashy.

She became an alcoholic, put on 100 pounds, and had terrible mood swings including emotional abuse. I witnessed it myself on several family vacations. It was awful for several years until she got the right help and fixed herself.

Your urge to label him and other divorced people as trashy is ridiculous.

I’m guessing Johnny Depp is a trashy person for divorcing Amber Heard going by your brilliant logic.

Maybe you’re the one that’s trashy. Oh but you’re a married man so that’s impossible, right? Your replies in this thread are nothing short of laughable. If you’re just trolling then that’s funny and you succeeded but unlikely.

You’re telling me there’s nothing your wife could do to you that would make you divorce her since you made your vows before God never to do that? Lol.

Replace trashy with superficial and I think you will see it better, especially with the financial issues.

And both financial issues and incompatibility both tie back to lack of communication.

Just look at the stats.

Around 50% ends in a divorce, so it's quite normal you see this OP.

50% is all marriages. Only about 1/3 of first marriages fail. The total is pulled up by the actual trashy people who are married and divorced 5 times.

No. I have a couple friends who are divorced (it happens...), but at least 90-95% of my friends who got married still are.

Alcohol is a disease.

The 'abuse' you mentioned is a symptom of depression - another disease.

Would it be okay to divorce her if she got Cancer?

The whole point of marriage and taking vows is to work through these endeavours -for better and for worse- and to not throw the towel in at the first signs of the going getting rough.

The only demographic who seem to take marriage seriously these days are Muslims.

If you don't mean your vows at your weddingthen why say them?

tin foil hat time: I hope someone actually reads this reply: I've been analyzing and thinking on this a while.

the hidden group, the tribe, the globohomers are moving the cog wheels faster than ever. I started noticing my friends wife's cheating on them starting in the late fall of last year, (four separate couples i know). Through the summer I saw three more divorces and more cheating by women. My speculation is, ((they've)) ramped up mind control to women and it's working maybe they turned something on , on social media/tv? something is happening and it's not organic. it's all planned

the majority of mind control (live your best life, be a whore, dont be stay at home mom) is all focused at white women mostly and it's working wonderfully

You didn’t answer my question. Where do you draw the line where it’s acceptable to divorce your wife? If she was physically abusive? If she cheated? Tell me what are some valid reasons for divorcing your wife and some invalid reasons. If you can’t answer that then you’re just arguing just to argue.

Just LMAO at people who have to cope that they will never get married - not by choice.

Only people who trash married people are the one's not married. I never hear people complain about their marriage; but only small annoyances about their partner (which is expected in any relationship).

Yea they were good girls and I could’ve had a decent marriage with them but they weren’t slam dunks. I’ve heard people say “If you have to question it, then she isn’t the one.” And that always made sense to me so I left those relationships. Looking back, I have no regrets.

Been with my GF 10 years. I don't plan to ask anytime in the next year or so. Not because I don't love her but we just still have alot of life stuff left to do: buy our own house, travel a ton more, maybe have a kid? etc

Can confirm have seen many people from my age group get married, have kids and get divorced all in the time or less than I've been with my girl. So definitely glad we haven't done that yet.
Are you not entertained?

Wife and I don't have social media. Many couples must post to show a bullchit front. All an image of happy life. Ppl with no need to post crap are the ones that will make it.
