[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since many women don’t marry for love, is it right to marry for money or just to have kids with someone you don’t love?

If the marriage turns sour, they will still get their fair share of family assets and 50/50 custody of kids.

It is amazing how deceitful, hypocritical and unethical women can be when it comes to manipulating men.

It’s the other way around. [/quote]

Marriage is much better for men. Worse for women![/quote]

I think it depends.  Ultimately, I think marriage tends to work out better for people who don't do it for love, who are manipulative and okay with using someone else for something. They tend to be calculating enough and manipulative enough to in some way entrap a person.  I've seen both women and men do this.

People made me feel as if I was a failure for being 30-something and unmarried.  But I was better off single.  Even if you spend a few years with your spouse and even truly love your spouse, that doesn't mean things won't get messy or end up souring down the road.  And in many cases, people take a huge financial hit when they divorce, in part because their financial planning for years was planning that involved a couple, the couple's income and assets, the couple retiring together.  It's even worse if someone is near retirement age.  Read up on the perils of grey divorce.

Divorce is usually not as disastrous financially for people who are very wealthy.  But for people who are middle class, divorce can be financially destructive, especially if as a dual-income family, the couple is just barely middle class.  Divorce can mean slipping down the socio-economic ladder.  That's a big reason why people stay in unhappy marriages.  That's actually a huge reason why people stay in downright abusive marriages.
