I’m married and it’s so fking hard. Honestly, you see the same person every day. They can be moody and controlling and you might not even know it until years later. You argue about stupid sht all the time. Then your sex life drops off and you are stuck with someone with a low libido. Just date someone nice for a while if you can find them. Everyone is obsessed with marriage. You know the divorce rate is like 56%?

The divorce rate is not 56% and actually it’s the lowest it’s been 50 years. The average divorce rate for a first marriage is between 20 and 30%.

I don’t say that to be mean but it is the reality of her not having a dual income. There are plenty of marriages that suck but if you take the time to find someone you are compatible with, it can change your life. Unless you are extremely successful, raising a kid single will almost ensure financial struggles. Keep dating and make it a full time job. Consider men you might have said no to in the past but don’t ignore red flags (drinking, drugs, unemployed, etc.) for incompatibility.

That your sister is a loser doesn’t mean that marriage isn’t overrated.

She’s correct about marriage building wealth though. You’re probably too young to appreciate how wide the gaps are by 50.

I’m not the poster you’re responding to but I’m 46 and I agree that her sister is a loser and marriage is overrated.

Since you want a partner. Try okcupid. If you go to harmony they want to get married fast.

Get in lots of apps. Not just that. Take care of yourself, whiten your teeth ,stop eating sugar that makes acne, do excersise, run, get that booty up, do things you enjoy, talk about yourself and hobbies in dating sites.

Take care of yourself, it shows you love yourself and the right person will come
