What is Veeky Forums's opinion on marriage?

Pros:
>have a family even if your friends and parents die
>able to have kids
>happiest moment in your life

Cons:
>you get divorced
>you get cheated on
>you change your mind after 6 years with kids
>you can never leave your wife because even if you're divorced you'll still have kids with eachother
>owns 50% of your wealth
>gets fat and stops being cute

Okay, I'll admit it, this is what happened to me. Marrying my wife was the worst decision I've ever done. I changed my mind like 2 years after we got married and it was just a summer-love I had.
I wish I never got married.
I wish I never had kids - with her.

After we got divorced she was able to cash out 50% of what I owned. How can women be so evil?
What do I do? My economy is ruinied. She was poor before we got married and now she has a $400k net.

I feel bad for you user, thanks for giving me one more reason not to fall for the marriage meme.

she accomplished exactly what she set out to do.
did you? if yes. excellent. if no, get to it.
god bless you man.
jesus christ.

You come back stronger.
Build a man cave, buy a decent car, make more money, invest in yourself, spend it all on coke and whores.Do whatever you want.
Spend it all on coke and whores.

Don't get married.
It's not the 1950's anymore where it's something special. Women get married today to get the perks of being married to someone, and then they leave you and take your kids from you because society always sides with the woman.

I got 2 beautiful kids out of her.
But she ruined my life, I'm at the same place where I was 15 years ago.

I don't care about your lifestory, reap what you sow. I'm going to majiresu to your kuso sure because I feel like it though.

I've been thinking a little bit about marriage in general now that I'm 24 and my parents have started nagging about me not having a gf or getting married (which is not really the reason I started thinking about it though, I don't give a shit what my parents want and I will very likely never have kids). Since marriage is an inherently flawed and frankly absurd concept in the 21st century, you would essentially have to be insane or very stupid to marry anyone.

Now what makes someone insane or very stupid? Falling in love does. In essence, the only situation where getting married would be the rational choice would be if you love the person you're marrying so much you'd still love them even if they divorced you, took away the kids and wanted nothing to do with you anymore. Such a situation is almost inconceivable especially if you have any semblance of self-respect as a man, and yet I can sort of understand why some people would choose to do it. After all, you're hardly capable of making rational decisions when you're in love.

There's a girl I'm in love with (or more accurately, experiencing limerence for) at the moment, and I feel I legitimately would marry her if I had the chance. I don't feel she's the type of girl to want to bleed me dry in case we divorced, and I sort of believe I'd be satisfied seeing her happy even if she wanted nothing to do with me anymore. I almost feel like a cuck, and I know these feelings will eventually wither away, I've been there plenty of times.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, marriage is a big gamble that is bound to fail more often than not, but if you marry someone you're insanely in love with and they just so happen to be a decent person, you might legitimately experience extreme happiness for a few years while you're still in love before it all starts going downhill.

Im happily married. But I think the key this was that we both fully agreed and expected this to be work and to have days that werent so good. You just need iron hands, a whole lot of patience, and keep your composure. For men if youre not lovingly leading your going to loose and have a lot of hard times ahead. It is not for the faint of heart and not for the weak hands. However, it is very rewarding when you make the effort and invest into it.

I really want more than anything than to have a wife and a family (mostly the children part) but am also terrified of this.

I've thought about adoption instead but I've heard it's very hard to get a child as a single parent.

Oh and to add to this, if you're actually considering marrying a white woman, or anyone raised in the West really, you're a fucking moron and deserve all the terrible things that will happen to you.

Thanks for reading.

Like other anons before have said:
>Why the fuck would you buy a depreciating asset at ATH user?

Dealing with the opposite kind of woman, been arguing with her the past week before she finally let me drop $100 in, I want to put all our neet money in there, tonight I toasted to the profits we will make, she wasn't interested doesn't care if she(we) are poor, I fucking care, I fucking care a lot, she wants us to both get jobs, save up for a house deposit get a house loan, white picket fence and all that other boomer shit, she is a 27 year old boomer and I think I may leave her over it, I may succeed in crypto I may fail but I will be damned if I don't try at all, what's the worse that happens? We go back to being poor?doesnt scare me half as much as a lifetime of wagecucking and never even buying the lotto ticket

pathetic

even more pathetic. man cave? lmao. are you twelve?

Pros: You secure your genetic immortality
Cons: ???

why do men keep falling for this meme, while my parents had a long 40 years marriage. I dont think that could happen to me now,because the priorities and values of women have totally changed.
Would i get married maybe, but not to a western woman in a western country. And if i did, i have to have a prenup

/thread

everyone is happily married till they aint

why do you need a wife/gf to have a child, just pay some chick and have her renounce her rights to the child

>t. buy into my marriage bags goyim.
To play devils advocate, I did all of these things and still wound up divorced. The courts made it easy for her to fuck me over. I loved that bitch so much I adopted her kid, and had another one. I'm so fucking stubborn and iron handed that I let it go on for 8 fucking years, through the cheating and constant mood swings, joblessness, overtime, everything. With women, you lose. It is literally the dumbest, most irresponsible financial decision you can make in your life, aside from going to a casino with your past, current, and future earnings, then betting half of it on red. You know something? Thats entirely hypothetical, you can't even do it, but you can get married.

That's why you don't get married unless you're 100000000% sure she is the one, has good values (good parents), treats you like a king from the start and continues to do so, is independent (doesn't necessarily needs you, CHOOSES you, doesn't need your money), sex positive (open relationship, or lets you fuck other women), I could go on. You need to have shitty relationship experiences because they will let you know EXACTLY when you've found the right person for you.

My parents have a good, old fashioned marriage so I used to assume that was how it was for everybody, until I started making more friends in high school, going to peoples homes and realizing that almost everybodies parents were divorced.

I think their marriage works for one because, like user said, they never really imagined a perfect idealized life. They're both very realistic and realize that a marriage is work and a real commitment. They didn't have a big fancy wedding, they drove to Vegas one weekend and got married there. They never threaten divorce when they get in a fight, not once. Also they have a sort of symbiotic relationship, because my dad works while my mom hasn't for the past 15 years. So he brings home the money and always gets to come home to a warm, clean happy house with dinner in the oven. I think that's a big factor in keeping their marriage happy. All these old school values come together to make a marriage worth keeping. My 2 cents

enjoy being lonely and alone at 40-80

I agree with this, old school values make marriage work a lot better. But it isn't impossible to make modern marriage work either. Just have to find the right woman (which here in the US, is very hard) they do exist though. Keep looking.

> Can't do it alone
Sounds like shit.

>durr I change my mind and refuse to work things out, now my kids lives are messed up for good and I lost half of what I own

pic related is you, you cancer on society

Yeah, its getting harder and harder. I see these dumb feminist memes on social media that go something like, "Oh, you want a woman who will cook and clean for you? Sounds like you want a MOMMY not a wife" and then a photoshopped picture of a man face on a baby body.

It blows my mind. Its like, no shit I want you to be willing to do those things, you're supposed to be the mother of my children. And I'll hold up my end of the bargain too, since I'm pretty handy and can fix almost anything around the house. Women think they're stronk until their sink starts leaking and they have to pay $400 for a $.20 washer.

Marriage or not, the government comes in to fuck you over with common law marriage if you keep a thot long term.

How the (((government))) is allowed do this is beyond me.

>>able to have kids
how is this a pro?
>happiest moment in your life
kek doubt it

>i have to have a prenup

Holy shit

Tomorrow will be 2018 and yet there are men who STILL believe prenups are worth a damn

I blame Kanye West for this

Prenups can be thrown out of court for any bullshit tiny technicality that invalidates them, or even on the basis of "this was not a fair deal that she agreed to at the time so it's null and void"

Do not get married if you want to keep your hard-earned money after the woman leaves

>common law marriage
Isn't this only a thing in a handful of US states, though?

It's all over user. It's in Canada, Ireland and the UK. I'm guessing it's on continental Europe too.

My dream is to marry a niggress, am I safe?

Can't fuck Hookers anymore in Thailand or Philippines.

This so much

Marriage isn't worth it anymore. I see so many men nowadays just fall for the marriage meme because their gf simply wants to get all dressed up for a day and that's it.

If you're smart, you'll figure out what you wanna do with your life now, get a house, a car or two in your own name, have everything in order with no debts first.

Then, wanna seek out sluts to fuck on the reg? Or, wanna look for a traditional, long term relationship that could potentially lead to marriage? Go ahead. You have the leverage to do so now without any financial or life threatening repercussions unless you majorly fuck up.

So many people get married and build financial and emotional dependency on their partner; that's too dangerous. If the woman the relationship decides she doesn't love you anymore and you're married, unless you have a prenup, she's taking half of your shit motherfucker. Probably the kids too, simply because "muh eternal victim!" syndrome that women have.

I'm telling you guys, don't get married. If you do, get a pre-nup, have the house and all major assets in your name, purchased with your money.

If they want to fuck You over they better have the money to do it.

Signing a prenup is grounds for the cancellation of the wedding date for a woman. Plus, you gain a few hundred "marriage instability points" if you either do get a prenup, or end up backing out of the idea. It's a lose lose when you play games with a creature that relies on zero sum game tactics

You struck the pros and cons pretty well OP. There's no point of marriage from a financial perspective. Divorce rate is 50% or something like that, that's the chance you're taking with marriage in losing almost all your assets with almost nothing to gain. Bitches are deceptive as hell, you won't know what's coming until it hits, or unless you're on top of that. Might as well spend your time and money on something with much more ROI

Consider thinking sometime

You guys paint the woman as all evil and will just take take take.
There are women out there who slay it. SAHD here I provide the warm happy house for the wife the past 8 years. Now kids are grown I get to start doing something I want to do. With her full support, she has never once complained about the situation.

I’m with my best friend , partner we have had a blast!

>Implying that if I were to get married I wouldn't get divorced like the other 75% of other married people.
user, I'm not special. I like practically everyone else would fall victim of divorce.

congrats you're married with the 0.001%

Wont let you drop precious real life money into extremely volatile magical internet money with no foundation for its prices.

Sounds like a smart woman.

Luckily my wife was all for it and now we're up 300%.

Are you married to a coin or something?

Once a man fully understands women, marriage is off the table entirely. They are capable of unspeakable cruelty and absolute indifference to harm they do to others.

im sorry for your loss user
and everything you said is spot on why is it so hard for men to learn from the mistakes of others

>having your woman be the breadwinner
Shame on you emasculated cuck. I bet she pegs you too. She should have married an alpha on her level. It's a shame, natural selection should have weeded you out.

this
its a fucking hard pill to swallow and theres no turning back

Don't marry a feminist

>uterus possibly haunted due to abortions

Haha assumes Alpha is purely based on $$ you make sad.
Funny thing is is even as a stay at home Dad the females in the neighborhood still see me as Alpha. Dads busting their asses making $$ .... I’m still more Alpha than them.
It’s not all $ it’s a mindset and confidence, it’s being a natural leader in life period.
BTW worked before the kids and will after it was a stage and wouldn’t trade the happy family and kids for anything.

Carry on kid.... I’m winning

> giving up your freedom for sex and/or children

FUUUUUUCK that. Anyone that allows their happiness to be dictated by someone else is an idiot.

You can have a family without getting married you know...

>doesn't care about user's life story

>gives own life story

Fucking anime loving autistic fuck. I know you wish you were a loli you fucking faggot.

marriage should be reserved for cute girls only

Meh. I have Asperger's so the pros aren't really pros to me. I don't even think I'd benefit in regards to taxes in my country.

MarriageCoin $10 EOY. SCREENCAP THIS. GET IN NOW OR STAY POOR.

I keep seeing these on biz how the wife took over half. How is it that possible? If it where so easy why isnt this story appearing every day how some Stacey married a guy with $10m and cashed out for $5m? And you'd think they'd celebrate and cheer it from the rooftops about how a strong survivor woman got a multi-million dollar payday?
I think there is some knowledge being keep from us regarding protecting your assets that only the elite are supposed to know. Like they probably have certain kinds of asset protection Trusts or something that you can only know about with the right high priced jewish lawyer.

why didn't you do the one where the wife doesn't get any of your shit? if she doesn't like that too bad for her FUCK any woman who wants to do that. If I get married, even with the LOML, I'd still do the one where the girl doesn't get anything, and if she doesn't like it, fuck getting married.
