Yes a lot of people seem outwardly stable and stay together for the kids so on the outside it looks like a happy marriage. But a lot of those marriages havd stuff going on behind the scenes.

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.
I think you're projecting the failure of your own marriage onto others.

Well that seems to be a common theme amongst human beans to complain and never take accountability for anything but always put the blame on somebody outside ourselves. It's boring to me so I won't do it.
But our childhood experiences shape us, you were influenced by your mom and she probably by her childhood. Sad.

Every random poll I've seen over the last 20 years has a higher percentage of women admitting to cheating; I believe it was 52% last I saw

Very unsettling
The study I saw showed It’s almost 50/50 actually but yes women are obviously more likely to cheat because of more options than men

50% end in divorce

70-80% initiated by women, 90% if they're college educated(https://www.whitleylawfirmpc.com/3-r...p%20to%2090%25.)

for the TLR(In fact, nearly 70 percent of divorces are initiated by women. This is according to a 2015 research study conducted by the American Sociological Association (ASA) which suggests two-thirds of all divorces are initiated by women. Among college-educated women, this number jumps up to 90%.)

99% of the time it's men that's getting down on one knee.... It's men shopping for rings to put on they wives sausage finger hands, It's men looking for the chick's dad for approval.

Let these hoes starve. Smash and Dash, Pump'in Dump. Let them cry in a fcuking 4 dr sedan on TikTok on how men are trash, when they let men treat their pussy like a dumpster in their 20s

Oh, so now we are creepy unless we have a woman there vouching for us?
Fortunately I don't fall for that. I enjoy the beach even by myself, and enjoy pictures reminding me I had that fun.

I'm sure it's been stated but that's not the whole picture.

That's 50% of ALL marriages, yes... but that also includes second marriages, third marriages, fourth marriages, etc. And we know those are even more doomed to failure.

The point is - First marriages do not have a 50% failure rate. To the best of my memory (I wrote a paper about this once), it's closer to 35-38%, or at least that was true several years ago.

Not that 35-38% is great. But it's not 50%.

Physical abuse is easy to identity but psych abuse or financial abuse can take years to become aware of and by then it is too late.

Look up the stats again. It is 50% of first marriages, and worse for 2nd and 3rd.

Some of that is just people not staying together for religion.

You should have looked it up before asking me to do so. The very first thing that comes up on a google search is:
Almost 50 percent ofallmarriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. 7. Researchers estimate that 41 percent of allfirstmarriages end in divorce.

I have an instagram with a pretty decent sized following. Nothing too crazy, but in the 20k range. Would say I am chad lite. Good face, great body, got the smoldering look down. Not to brag, just setting the scene. I cant tell you how many times I have slid into the DMs of some milf, whose profile is full of pics of her kids and husband, and I get her to do whatever I want. Send me pics, sext me, send me money, come see me, pretty much fall in love with me. My profile has moved over to alot of fitness stuff and they all want me to train them and give them a "mouth workout." lol at marriage

No, he's right. It's not 50% of first marriages, it's 50% of all marriages. You need to look it up.

https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-myt...e-of-divorce#1
A false conclusion in the 1970s that half of all first marriages ended in divorce was based on the simple but completely wrong analysis of the marriage and divorce rates per 1,000 people in the United States.

It is now clear that the divorce rate in first marriages probably peaked at about 40 percent for first marriages around 1980 and has been declining since to about 30 percent in the early 2000s. This is a dramatic difference. Rather than viewing marriage as a 50-50 shot in the dark it can be viewed as having a 70 percent likelihood of succeeding.
Don't let the larping pajeet's projection about their own life failure cloud the facts here.

I knew plenty of guys who said their marriage was great and the rest of us should shut up. 10 years later, they are divorced and paying alimoney.

As for till death do us part, why do so many guys die soon after retirement? Could it be the social security laws? That they get more if he is dead or married, but less if he divorces her, so preemptive action?

It seems every guy I know is divorced or never married. A few married ones, but who knows what dynamics they are not telling us about.

The only happy divorced guys I know don't mind paying alimoney. They have had 3 marriages, buy houses for women, and look fondly on each. Well, I know one who did not pay, but he was always broke, or made less than his wife. He thinks I should not worry since his wife did not make him pay. Yet my goal is to make money.

I know one guy who decided to get a paternity test. Negative. He then decided to not sign the birth certificate.

The other guys, at least 3, were either married or already signed. So they knew there was no point in getting a test since it would not change anything.

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.
Ah, I found a good woman who is also attractive, but to be fair, I found her when we were both very young. You don't get to both be a whore but expect to marry a virgin in your mid 30s, because by then everyone your age is in the same boat as you.
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.
