It's pretty horrifying what divorce actually is

Me and one of my clients were bsing at work today and I got him to open his whole life story to him. Guy married a girl mid 25's, stayed with her for 20 years, and had kids with her. After 20 years she moved out and handed him divorce papers in the mail. No face to face confrontation about it. He's stuck paying for her house and pays alimony for the rest of her life. According to NJ's alimony laws the wife could get it if they stayed together for a shorter amount of time. But since they were married for a little over 20 years, she's set for life. Absolutely terrifying to think about this scenario. All I want to do is find a down to earth girl.

What makes a person want a divorce 20 years down the road? That's the real question. Does the resentment build over time? Or did something happen like cheating?

The problem is does the diamond want you back. If you are a miscer, then in most cases probably not.

This.

20years is a lot of **** on both sides.
The closer we approach the uncertainty of life's ending the more we wish to trade all of the things we have acquired in exchange for all of the things we have lost: wealth for youth, knowledge for fresh curiosity, resignation for hope. We'd trade our wisdom for new experiences, but it is wisdom that will teach us that at the end of the road the only new experience is death.

20 year relationships don't die casually

And alimony is gender neutral and subject to long term financial dependence in NJ

My parents divorced after 20 years. Long story short, they never should have been together in the first place.

I also think there's something about the 20 year mark that triggers women. Like they realize how long it's been, and they aren't happy, but there's like another 40 years to go.

Anybody that would voluntarily sign off the control of their assets to a woman in a completely one sided contract that is marriage deserves everything coming to them. Women want your resources. Marriage gives them just that with the backing of the US government behind them.

I heard when Jeff Dunham (comedian with the puppets) got a divorce his ex-wife tried to claim credit for half of his act so she could collect royalties for the rest of their lives. Funny part was that she was a fan of his before they even started dating and he saved an old fan letter she sent him before they met, talking about how much she loved all the characters she was then trying to take credit for. lol just lol. Protect everything you have and everything you do.

scary as chit...know a guy who's wife cheated on him with a real estate agent in their own house. He had two kids with her, she then filed for divorce when he found out and she got the custody of the kids + the house. She would bang the guy in his house as he was packing his boxes. Dude almost killed himself it got so bad, he lost his job because he just fell apart mentally and ended up having to move back in with his parents because he couldn't afford to pay all that chit. He lost his kids, job, and house because of it. Haven't heard from him in a while but last I heard is he got a job at a factory somewhere and seems to be surviving.

Not to mention the wife got a boob job like 3 months before cheating on him and seemed pretty slooty, not all that surprised to be honest.

I read somewhere that the vast majority of divorces are filed by women. Nothing ruins a childhood like a divorce. It sucks about your parents but at least you were grown by then.

I'm so glad I've managed to avoid marriage. In before an #metoo movement for men getting life-raped by unstable women.

I think marriage can definitely work if you find someone compatible. Most people probably just settle with who ever they were dating at the time. Either out of convenience, fear of being alone or wedlock.

The general divorce statistics are 50%. If the women makes more money than the man the divorce rate is 75%. Women have hypergamy. She won't be attracted to a man earning less than herself.

She will always remember you make less than her. In heated arguments she will remember she is the one who settled for you. It is going to sow a seed of contempt that will sprout 20 years down the road.

Never gonna work. All women expect marriage at some point. Good luck trying to hold on to a quality chick long term if you flat out tell her you are against marriage. You are 24 so you don't realize it yet.

Its really simple.

As a man if you couldnt turn around and fuk a woman on your gf/wifes level within a week to a month, you never deserved her in the first place.

Dont try to use money to make up the gap if youre not on your wifes level. You will get burned. Barbie doesnt want to fuk George Castanza with a bank account. She will always go back to Ken dolls. You guys will try to cite the 1/10 relationship this didnt apply to while ignoring the 90% of them that fell apart with the woman cheating and initiating divorce.

Marriage is literally nothing more than signing an agreement that you will be severely punished if the relationship ever fails.
