Thats like asking why more men dont amputate their leg.

The pain of a bad marriage is more tolerable than paying alimony to someone you dont like until you die.

If thats true then why are women that earn more than their spouse MORE LIKELY to divorce? Is it no longer a split or money in that case?

Probably has to do with women seeing them as failed men for not being able to make enough money. It's the gender role of being a "provider" and the women aren't satisfied with the marriage because the man isn't living up to it.

Because women often seek money or child support via the divorce so they are more likely to file for it or go to court.

Women do this too.

I think the problem is a lot of women marry when they are young since they only have so much time to have kids and when you are young you tend to date assholes.

This. Women have more job opportunities and there isn't as much shame in a divorcee or single parent.

We've also gotten to the point where we don't feel obligated to stay in an unhappy relationship. I've had encounters with multiple couples that resort to cheating rather than divorcing since it would make them look bad.

Don't know about the US but I know in France women are much much more likely to cheat than men.

That is France tho...

Marriage doesn't seem practical to me because of this, tbh. For the first year or two (of most relationships) both people are on their absolute best behaviour, trying to make each other happy, trying to impress one another, trying to be attractive for one another, etc. Then you just get accustomed to them being there and everything becomes very routine and boring. Both people generally let themselves go to some extent, and stop doing most of the things that made them fall in love with one another to begin with. It's depressing as hell.

The problem with marriage though, is that you can't just peace out whenever you want when things become stagnant, communication fails, or worse.. there's fighting or cheating involved. It becomes a very messy and drawn out process that can affect you for your entire life instead of just being a clean break. That's what gives me pause. They're your dream partner today and everything you ever wanted, but what about a couple years from now? Five years? More? I feel like it takes a shit ton of hard work and dedication, maybe more so than anything else in life.

Western marriage rates are going down the crapper, partly because more and more men are realizing that women initiate 80-90% of divorces.

That looks like a bad investment no matter how you sell it...

Pretty sure in England. If you've been with the woman long enough, married or not, she can still take a cut of your shit. Don't know if she has to have your child or not tho.

Not sure if this is a European law or not so I don't know if it's the same in Europe and US.
