Sure, but judging by the divorce rate it doesn't happen. I mean everyone goes into marriage thinking it's the best decision they've ever made, but it often doesn't turn out that way. I've been pretty lucky with my marriage. 14 years and counting, so it can be done for sure. I was just pointing out that plenty can go wrong in marriage in response to your original post.
Then don't get married. This is not an issue inherent within marriage in itself, but rather the result of useless couples and partners who are out of touch with reality and therefore can't speak to each other about their problems. What do you mean? How many percent of marriages end in divorce for it to be called "often"? Exactly! Of course, but that is not the goal of it or is it? Divorce happens for a reason, if partners treat each other right, they won't need to divorce.
Whoops-a-daisy (my bold) And once again .. no human, at the end of life, has ever been pleased that they didn't have kids.
Do you think it's pot luck? Russian Roulette? Why would you leave your own fate/future up to a game of chance?
Apparently close to 50% of marriages do exactly that. Why is anyone's guess I suppose. People can be fooled. The person you think is perfect may be anything but.
Since cognitively normal adults must be assumed to be their own masters, we can conclude that it's a choice. People CHOOSE to ignore the important stuff at the start (careful vetting of candidates), preferring to leave the fate of the relationship to the wind. It follows then, that anyone who doesn't realise that's what they're doing, cannot be rightly regarded as cognitively normal. Therefore in no position to be getting married. And no, people can't easily be fooled. Unless they themselves are fools.
Why do you think they call it "cheating"? You think anyone gets into a relationship thinking the person they're with is going to hurt them? It happens all the time.
Actually I've been married for 14 years and couldn't be happier. I never said marriage is horrible, I simply said it's a big risk for the man if they're not extremely careful. Even then, it's still a calculated risk.
Why would anyone think marriage comes without hurts? It's about risk management (of potential hurts). If you chose wisely, those hurts will be limited to the usual ups and downs of romantic/sexual relationships, and the gentle bickering of long term spouses.
It's only a risk to those who don't do the work at the outset. In which case, they 'deserve' whatever they get. Literally.
Lmao. MATERNAL health. Maybe read before figuring out how tho disagree? Do you believe women should be In the room while discussing women's health issues?
How long have you been married? Bowerbird didn't seem to want to answer that question, let's see if you do.
Well it seems I have far more experience with the subject. I suspect Bowerbird isn't married, or wasn't married for long as well.
Conservative women are vilified at every chance they can. What do you say about that? Your concerns are liberal in nature only.
Bullshit. I work a very physical job...my company has had exactly TWO women apply in fifteen years. One lasted 3 years, the other was not hired due to poor driving skills. My wife is the only woman where she works, and the first to apply in at least ten years. I don't remember the last trash collector, roofer, construction worker, lineman, or tow truck driver (other than my wife) I saw that was a woman.
Because plenty of women seem fine...until they aren't. My cousin's wife spent months planning, coldly and methodically working out how to ruin her husband. It worked-her efforts rendered him unemployable, homeless, and literally penniless.
