[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely it is.

Whenever I hear people lost benefits on why people should get married I point to how they’re  outweighed by the HUGE risk of divorce.  All of those "benefits" are a moot point as once you're divorced you will end up paying CS and in some cases alimony.

In a lot of cases the government makes money off of your CS so it encourages them to hit you with the highest possible amount as possible.   Top that off by the fact 80% of divorces are initiated by women (90% of college educated) there is too much risk.  If you're a man who has built his empire and worked hard, it's put at risk as soon as you marry.

I've seen men lose their businesses, livelihoods and in some cases built a house for their wife, (who cheated on him) and he lost it.  I have friends that have lived out of a box eating Ramen for years because of being taken to the cleaners.  You're 3-4 times more likely to commit suicide as a man, it jumps up to 9 times if you're a divorced man.   You lose access to you home, your kids and get your income stolen from you.  There is no "traditional" women anymore.   At the end of the day the state encourages them to divorce and these women are just using the tools put in front of them to take advantage of it.  Only 11 or 12 states have 50/50 by default for custody.  It should be 50

At the end of the day - as a man - no one will help you, no one cares about you or will have any empathy for you.  You have to look out for yourself and the best way to do that is to take minimal risks that will destroy your livelihood.   Society has shown it has utter disdain for men; best thing you can do for yourselves is to not play a game where the odds are not in your favor.  Not only are they stacked against you, you have people actively looking to make you lose everything.  I've had friends where their ex-wives divorce lawyers put restraining orders and make false claims of abuse to just to ensure they win.  And I say had, because at least one of them ended his life based on these allegations and think is ex-wife gives a shit the actions she pulled led to him unaliving himself?  Nope, she gets his life insurance and will be banging a new guy in a month.[/quote]

This is wild.  Where do you live that you’ve experienced this?

I live in an UMC community (likely all college educated) and don’t know anyone who fits your description.  I have one friend who married after college and divorced for cheating, but that’s it.

Many UMC couples don’t divorce these days because everyone gets 50/50.  Most women don’t want to give up custody so they stick with the miserable dude.

Also from what you describe, it’s men who might have the problem.  Not marriage!  You know the gender responsible for almost all violence on earth.  [/quote]

I’m in VA.  Near DC.

And most divorces are because of the following:

DV is such a small percentage overall.  And DV is more prominent in lesbian  couples than heterosexual couples
