[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).[b] I won’t ever let anyone take half my stuff again[/b] 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]
How is it half of “your stuff”? You went into marriage with a selfish mentality, ended it out of selfishness (no compassion for a man with a BRAIN INJURY?), and then somehow it’s *marriage’s* fault?

This is why I emphatically suggest people to just be alone. Being selfish in a “commited monogamous relationship” (marriage in so many words 🙄) won’t work either. The problem is YOU!! Stop trying to bring people into your tight-fisted, transactional, curmudgeonly existence just because you’re horny.

This is such a bizarre post it’s simply not worth a reply, but look into anger management. [/quote]
