Men aren’t avoiding marriage. They are avoiding divorce. Divorce destroys men. It is irrational to marry under the current laws.

Even having a woman live with you long term, girlfriend or even friend, she can still drag you through the system.

Do not marry. Do not cohabitate. Do not share financial accounts.

... And women know it. This is why they are often only ever a part-time wife when they marry. Do something about it, husband.

The threat of divorce, and destroying the husband’s life, gives women all the power in marriage.

This is why I will not marry my (I call him my husband) boyfriend/partner because I do not want a contract with the state. My vows to him will be before God only. I don't care about tax status or state benefits or what I could be entitled to.

A lot of people think they can marry in the church without entering a contract with the state. Unfortunately, it’s not true. If you marry in the church, the state can regulate your marriage and regulate your children in divorce. If you don’t marry and have children, the state can still regulate your children and divorce.

We've been together for 23 years and our children are grown. I'm thinking of getting married on the beach by a friend who has the authority to do so. My vows to him will be before God only. I know you've been through hell and haven't come through it yet and I pray for you.

Correct Men avoid it, because it exploits men for every resource they have. It is modern day slavery. It is exploitation and a violation of freedom of person. The argument given what about the children? If it was about the Children you would not ruin their fathers life, nor would you allow Divorce except under extreme circumstances. Yet the argument given for the allowance of women to engage in such behavior is "Freedom of Choice" If you want to leave a marriage, and you don't have a provable fault reason. You leave with what you brought. The Romans and many other cultures expected you to forfeit the right to your children. Which no good human would do. Yet today a woman could cheat, financially abuse the family, accuse you of a hundred different things, ruin your life, while divorcing and take your children from you. Then the man gets called a deadbeat by stereotypical feminist lies that aren't even statistically backed up. The solution is simple. If you want a divorce and you don't have a reason like adultery or SEVERE physical abuse. You willingly forfeit your children, and rights to them. You get no money, no property, except for what is in your name only, or what you came with. Man or woman. Simple as that.

Agreed. Getting divorced means leaving an abusive relationship only to go up against a racketeering enterprise full of predators. You haven't met the beast until you've been to family court

In some countries you don’t even have to be married to a woman. You can be just as vulnerable in de facto relationships. Inviting a women to come live with you is legally seen as the same as marriage and you can lose half your possessions, including your house, if you break up.

Never marry. Never cohabitate. Never share financial accounts.

Men are absolutely avoiding marriage because they lack accountability it has nothing to do with divorce. Most marriages split due to cheating so maybe they should keep their dick in their pants and they wouldn’t have to worry about divorce. No good man worries about divorce

The laws must change to ensure the rights of men and fathers are upheld in court.

Eliminate no-fault and, especially, restore coverture to the marriage laws. That would be a good and necessary start.

Yep. After 20 years I am still paying the price. Lost half my 401k, a good portion of my pension, my home, and literally millions of dollars I had earned and saved. I am 70 now and have never recovered financially. Obviously, I never will.

Many states have common law marriage. Even those that don't, like CA, if you have kids and lived together then separated the family courts will still treat you as if you were married. Only difference is alimony is off the table but you're still splitting half because the kids.

What about signing a prenuptial that states the marriage can Only end in no-contest split custody agreement? No alimony, child support, and property is spilt on paper in advance with mediation for the remainder.

It is illegal in all 50 states for prenuptial agreements to address anything except property. They cannot address issues of child, custody, alimony, medical support, or anything else other than the disposition of property.

Good to know.

Can confirm, be careful out there boys, it’s rough and mean

I would have thought this was extreme even a few years ago, but it's a way bigger problem than "lol skill issue" The direction is clear, it's really hard to justify today

There’s only two ways to get married these days. 1. Don’t 2. Sign a civil contract stating that s/he is a live in worker getting paid $X per month and when you break up it’s all theirs. Note if children are born you’re fucked as the state takes control of that situation and it never ends well.

'No-fault' divorce has redefined marriage as a temporary partnership, similar to other at-will agreements like employment, a rental agreement, or a business contract with 'termination for convenience.' Yet the consequences can be permanent.

Exactly. I think men should be careful promoting marriage when the family courts are designed to destroy men. People love to talk about fatherless homes but don’t talk about how women weaponize the family courts to keep child from the father and mess up the child and the father.

I know first hand how this works. Do not marry without agreeing on time spent with the kids if a divorce happens. Currently in GA it’s up to the mother and judge, fathers have to fight and beg for equal time.

The only reason I would ever consider getting married again is if it came with dual citizenship.

And….. avoiding the psycho left woman. My kids have no no problems finding the best mates. Democrats kids are sad and worthless. Even the liberal men want to marry my amazing kids. They all want to date me too, even though I’m twenty to thirty years older than them.

There not meeting virgins and the there financially crushed.

There is no way to put the toothpaste back in the tube. The institution of marriage relies on feminine and masculine virtues that our culture no longer inculcates in men and women. Rome experienced this very thing and attempted to restore virtue by force of law.

The fact that men still marry is proof of how stupid we really are.

The system was designed to punish traditional men. It punishes men who want to provide for their families and don't care about a woman's money when it comes to choosing a wife. The solution is either to boycott marriage/cohabitation or to become a 50/50 man.

The entire divorce process is designed to maximize the money the courts and lawyers are making. It is pure insanity how much divorce cost. And yes, the men are way more disadvantaged than women. It is really bad.

True.

100%.

Marriage is the leading cause of divorce. 🤯😜
