Truth of the matter is, if OP weren't so insecure, he wouldn't be making these kinds of threads. All he wants, yearns for in life is to find a decent woman, but in his mind that will never happen, thus it will also never happen IRL.

I believe you're worth a good woman OP, but you have to believe it too.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

50% of marriages end in divorce


Lots of people are still married despite cheating happening

Lots of old married couples seem to hate each other




That doesn’t seem to leave very good odds. If you do want to get married your best chance is to make sure your wife makes a lot of money. That lowers her incentive to leave and lessens the financial blow if you do separate(or you could just do the prenup thing).


People can look back through my post history and see that I was always a supporter of the place for marriage in society. Now though I think we are probably past that point as a culture. Not saying that’s a good thing, that’s just the state of the world today. They’ve spent too much time tearing down the family, encouraging hyper-sexuality, encouraging slootiness, downplaying the role of man and promoting weak men, flooded the world with temptation, and allowed technologies that make it horribly easy to find tons of options/cheat if you want. The world is crumbling around us and life is too short. Might as well just do what you want. No redpill but that’s just the state of the world we live in.

If 50% end in divorce, that means 50% end in death. Your choice OP.

Men just need to do a better job or vetting their women beforehand. Remember men, not women, are the gatekeepers to commitment and marriage. It should happen when the man decides and thusly we should be better equipped to make that decision.

Too many men out there having no standards for women, getting mixed up with ****ty broads, she wrecks his life, he complains that women are untrustworthy whores and unscrupulous bitches. Yeah and you could have circumnavigated all that if you didn't think with your dick all the time

Clearly not all of them are happy, but your estimation that only 10% are happy is just nonsense and projection since yours was a failure. The actual percentage is much higher. And with the 50% that are going to divorce eventually, even a pretty high percent of those are happy for most of the time. Overall, I'd guess that at least 70% are happy at any given point in time.

I would bet that a higher percentage of women aged over 40 in marriages are happier than 40+ yr old women not in marriage (cat ladies).

Some marriages are a mess, but I see a lot of marriages with family members where you can tell they’re basically partners. They have each other’s back.

Men might be ok being old and alone, they can take care of themselves. But let’s not pretend 40+ yr old independent women aren’t depressed as fk they don’t have a partner to fall on, knowing he’ll always have their back. Specially when they see their friends with husbands they can come home to.

I don't get this notion that old men without family would be happier than old women but hey whatever works for you.

I mean wouldn't it be a weird and lonely place to be some 70 -year old man with never had a family, who would you even be able to relate to?

There are some outliers of course, maybe eccentric or creative people but most people are just pretty much the same.

Happiness would depend on how the kids turned out.

If they are happy people and you have a close family it would be nice to be older and have all of these stories and people developing. It would be entertaining and something to be proud of.

If you had an unhappy family with dysfunctional or chaotic kids, then it would be hell to have all the drama and watching your family self-destruct.

So, a good bet would be to not have a family at all so as to assure stoic kind of peace.

That's an individual choice though not something for everyone.

I am not religious but Jesus actually said not to have sex with the idea being for everyone to just live their lives and check out. He followed that up by saying that if you must have sex then get married.

Anyone would be happier being by themselves than in a bad relationship. Unless kids are involved, being single is always better than being in a bad relationship. Of course good relationships are better than being single, but not everyone ends up with a good lasting relationship.

The reason for the figure is that a lot of imbalanced fools get married quickly and then divorced quickly. People who plan to get married tend to last longer than one year, and then longer than that.
But every marriage has a first year. Can't just skip to the second year lol. Now people are getting married way less because men realize there's no real benefit for them when the woman doesn't want to do anything a woman traditionally did. Now in most cases it's just another bill to pay for the man.

I don't understand this at all. The only reason I don't put a bullet in my head is because I have my husband who cares for me and always makes sure everything is good in my life. Friends are great but nobody will care about you the level your family does. A 70 -year old person with no family, parents probably passed, who is there for you? And probably any friend you have by that age has a family and they talk about there families. And I know you'd probably have a part that goes "I'm glad I don't have to deal with all that". That's what I feel about kids and never wanted them ever because I never see any kind of situation where'd I go like "oh that's what I'd want" just the opposite, I wanna run lol. But just having my husband is already having a family, maybe not complete family to others but it's complete for me.
And I know lot of families are messed up. My family was not great and I moved away from them far far away and now I'm here with nobody. Maybe that's why I feel like this.

I know people say they don't feel lonely and I believe it, it's just very different personality type that what I have.

What part of my post do you not understand? I said anyone would be happier being alone than in a bad relationship. You responded with saying your husband cares for you and makes sure things are good in your life. That means you have a GOOD relationship right? That's why you prefer what you have over being single. Would you still prefer being in a relationship instead of being single if your husband was verbally and/or physically abusive and never did anything for you?

this

i would honestly rather die alone than commit to a woman i don't 110% trust

cos if i 110% trust her, there's only a 20% chance she could ruin my life. the probability is exponentially higher if i trust her less than that.

yeah it would be fukking lonely as fuk. unbearably lonely. i'd probably rope (srs)

but i'd rather that than live in hell every day with a b*tch i hate who is out to fuk me over, steal my sh*t and cheat on me.

ahh yes. the 'i believe im worth a good woman' fallacy. seen it before.

the issue is, what happens when there are an immeasurably small amount of good women to go around? chances of you landing one are statistically tiny.

so you're left with the 80%. the trash. obviously you don't even bother going for the ones who aren't hot, if you have a modicum of self value yourself.

so then you're left with the women who look and act good but are actually narcissists/psychopaths. you navigate their mind games and manage to weed them out - and then you are back at square one, alone.

The other 50% probably would too if it werent for being stuck financially.

Ask yourself deep down. If you won the lottery and had hundreds of millions of dollars, would you dump your current spouse?

If you answered yes, you are stuck in your relationship strictly for money. You cant afford to leave.

You'd just have to find a way to leave no matter how hard it would be.

You cannot judge by outward appearances. My marriage looked perfect from the outside too. The bad things that happen are in private. It’s not visible to outsiders looking in. And many times not even visible to one of the spouses who thinks everything is fine while the other spouse is cheating.
This is 100% projection to make yourself feel better because your marriage was an abject failure. Thankfully, most people are not like you.

I mean wouldn't it be a weird and lonely place to be some 70 -year old man with never had a family, who would you even be able to relate to?

There are some outliers of course, maybe eccentric or creative people but most people are just pretty much the same.
The 70 year old divorced/widower bros at my country club that play golf every day seem pretty happy.

I was just about to say this after reading all the gibberish it posted on this thread.

It seems that SS craps all over marriages because she (if you even believe its a real woman) had a failed marriage and wants to take it out on everyone else for failing "her" own.

Its not alone as there are plenty of people that think just like that.
