[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not good for women, but probably good for children.

Men gains tons of advantages (as scientifically proven: they live longer, reduce their homemaking responsibilities, gain career advantages...not so for women). [/quote]

Yeah, right, women gain no advantages from marriage.  Remind me again who is obsessed with and constantly chasing marriage in their 20s and 30s – is it men or women?  Strange that women would be obsessed with obtaining something that offers them no advantages – I guess you think women are just dumb.[/quote]

I worked hard to find a spouse who I thought would be a good dad and husband. He had a brain injury and became an abusive alcoholic. I very much tried to marry and then mate well, because I think that an intact two parent family is ultimately the easiest best path for kids and healthy development. I didn’t get that, but you are right- I tried to.

Now, I’m divorced and to answer the question- for me now- no, marriage would no be worth it. I won’t have more children and religion wouldn’t play into wanting to marry (ie no scruples about out of wedlock sex). I won’t ever let anyone take half my stuff again and I know that when marriage can end so painfully and insanely it isn’t anything sacred or special- relationship is what is sacred and special. I’m sure I’ll enter into a committed monogamous relationship some day, but I will not marry again.

I guess my answer has changed over my lifetime due to my experiences. You seem really angry at women- are you?[/quote]

I feel for you PP, but this is also a pretty rare situation, where a great guy turns into a bad one because of a random brain injury. That's not the fault of marriage as an institution.[/quote]

Same thing happened to me. It's not as rare as you think.[/quote]
