Marriage is for poorfags

bored or more like the husband being a prick?

i totally agree but marriage can be great sometimes... My cousin in unemployed, and he makes his wife work. they have 2 kids

how they manage to remain together is beyond me

you just gotta find the right deal

Or the wife being a cunt

This is the reason I would get married

>grandfather had 9 kids
>built up a business which he passed on to my father and uncle
>with 1 exception all my grandparents made it to 90 with few health issues
>only 6 grandsons carry his name out of 40 grandkids
>2 brothers who carry the name won't have kids
>2 cousins who are married are heading for rocky marriages

However
>been making shit money since I got out of college
>kids ain't cheap
>father and uncle wimped out and accepted a buyout from their partner
>partner ate a 12 gauge 6 months later
>father is threw away generational wealth to retire in his mid 50's
>uncle got lucky and got the highly desirable family farm that has been in the family since the 1890s
>single bitches of all ages be crazy. The good ones get snatched up right after highschool by family men.

>Why do idiots even get married these days? I don't understand it. I have never seen anyone 10+ years married who was happy with their life, ever. They're happy first 2-3 years because it's new and fresh but soon it dies.

Sounds to me like your family is kind of fucked and you're poor

>grandfather had 9 kids

A generational thing. How many ppl do you know with 9 kids that aren't psycho religious?

>built up a business which he passed on to my father and uncle

The odds of passing on a business to second generation are very slim. Third generation stupidly small. You can google those stats.

>only 6 grandsons carry his name out of 40 grandkids

Who cares. What, are you royalty or some such thing? You think anyone cares?


>2 brothers who carry the name won't have kids
>2 cousins who are married are heading for rocky marriages

Welcome to reality

However
>partner ate a 12 gauge 6 months later

What,running a business is supposed to be easy riiiiiiight?

>father is threw away generational wealth to retire in his mid 50's

His perogative faggot. He's not your family's bitch. Give the poor bastard a break. He's prob exhausted though wont show it. Fuck. I'm 53, at this for over 30 years. I'd retire in a heartbeat. I owe my kids a decent childhood and education. The rest is up to them.

>single bitches of all ages be crazy. The good ones get snatched up right after highschool by family men.

The only intelligent line in your post.

>A year-by-year examination reveals the divorce rate was increasing modestly during the years leading up to the Great Recession (2000 - 2008). This trajectory reversed in 2009 when the divorce rate dropped nearly 7% because the cunts needed their husband's money!

Cause children are beautiful, man. Sadly people think their a finacial waste... hope that's not what their parents thought of them.

I was married in the USA

wife went to gym when we met
1 year later she's gained 40+ pounds (that she will admit to)

and it just went to shit from there....

during separation she seemingly kept an apartment key and I signed a new lease, I thought she didn't have key anymore and things were done

wrong

she ran into my house one day and stole my mailbox key so she could steal our tax return check ($7,000 that we agreed to split and I would piss off and she'd never see me again)

I called the cops, they said "we can't do anything until the judge decides" and said "community property"

I told them "I signed a new lease though, she was supposed to give key back" didn't matter, cops treated me well, but their hands were tied

She changed my mailing address, even though we didn't have same last name, again, nothing could be happened

She closed out bank account and paypal (how I made money to live was selling stuff on etsy and ebay)....you guessed it nothing could be done

so after 3 months of basically abuse I decided "fuck this" got insurance on "our" car, and drove "our" car across the continent back home

lesson learned, when you're married, you can't just get up and leave someone...they can still fuck with you and as a man the cops won't do shit to help you really

The real trick is having a "right" woman (personality, looks, loyalty, single) available around you, somehow meeting her, having proper chemistry and timing in your life, being attractive to her in body and personality, and that's all without even considering your own happiness and if you'd want to be with her for life.

I haven't done terribly with women the last 8 years but I sure as fuck haven't done well enough to think I'll ever hook up with a girl worth marrying.
