Everybody be gettin divorced

Addiction to porn and easy access to low tier content/hook up apps is killing relationships. I think the effects of birth control on women's partner selection has also not been studied enough, though there is evidence to suggest that when some women get off birth control they lose all attraction to their spouse/significant other.

In general I'd say the cultural decay of the west is impaling relationships as it is all things.

This is like a copy pasta from a 4chan incel thread. Someone has been blackpilled.
 
Addiction to porn caused such a strain in speaker Mike Johnson's relationship, he started a porn accountability group with his young son. Sounds like strides have been made and he and his son only watch some porn now.
Ngl, seems pretty weird to me. But then again, I'll take weird wholesomeness attempts over the weird lefties taking their kids to drag/kink shows.

I'd like to renew my call for a divorce registry. Let's just peel back the layers and adjudicate fault.

Make it public so that when these people are out in the wild searching for their next victim, people can access a public registry and see what type of person they are.

Throw in a divorce tax of some sort.

I would include the ability to add pictures and photo albums, an instant-messaging feature, and the ability to post about what you ate for lunch today or what silly antics your cat got up to.

Give it a catchy name like BookFace and you’ve got some gold there.
 
I am getting the distinct feeling this guy is just like Genghis Khan. You can disregard my previous posting.

I took mini-mester summer course that covered Khan a good deal. Every time I think of GK I also think about how much a semester jammed into a month sucked ass.

I took a night class on the cuban missile crisis, and i had this group project with 3 others. Ginger, hot guy, hot girl, and me. The ginger really liked the hot girl, and we could tell. Then one class ginger was sad, and he told me he saw hot guy dropping off hot girl at the dorm one sunday morning.

I tried to cheer him up by saying maybe they just went to church and he called me a f*cking idiot. So I gave him a bad peer review on our group project.

That is such ginger behavior. @BrianNole777

A story old as time
 
IMO it comes down to selfishness plain and simple.
Especially if you have young kids involved. Studies have shown kids who grow up in single parent families have higher rates of alcoholism, drug use and emotional issues. Having both parents in their life is critical. Not only that, bailing out when problems come sets a horrible example for kids. They should see that you need to work to solve issues rather than just quitting .
Now cheating is a whole different animal, but even then an innocent spouse can show forgiveness of possible.
Another factor is couples don’t work hard enough to stay emotionally connected. Marriages don’t just work without some effort.
Long work hours, social media, porn, financial issues are all legitimate factors.
But in the end you need to make that decision to follow thru on your vows, even at the expense of your own wants.
Society has become to quick to bail out when things don’t go exactly as they want.
 
It's a number of things. Obesity, lack of sex drive. No doubt in my mind that hormone imbalance in part from hormone based herbicides at work. Messes up men's drives and female emotions.

You also have a generation that never had to work through tough issues. That said, had a number of friends in the 50s/60s also getting divorced. Look at how we can't have discussion on here. Many of us are married and have the same communication skills at home as on forums.
 
Marriage is a commitment that many people cannot live up to.
In days gone by, the husband would go off to work with his briefcase and
the wife would stay home in her apron cooking, cleaning, and taking care
of the children. Often Mom would need her special "medicine" to get
through the day. Dad would get home and that newspaper better be
by the chair and dinner better be almost out of the oven. And on Sunday
the whole family would go to the Methodist Church and hear the Word.
Now moms often wish to work outside the home. No one said marriage
would be easy, and many people don't abide by "in sickness and in health."

Wait, Lute didn't catch the dead while I was gone and now you're carrying the flame for him?

At least these lefties that get you riled up have to actually put in the effort to physically take their kids to the show, Mike just has to hit spoogeonyourfeet.com from his phone and his kid's got it queued up in his bookmarks - I mean "accountability app." Talk about a shortcut!

I can't help but picture you looking like this when I read this paragraph

All of this can be done without being married.

My mom left our family when I was 4 1/2. The way she and my dad handled the situation was about as bad as it could possibly be handled. As a result, I didn't see her for 30 years and it was a subject that wasn't allowed to be talked about growing up. That situation affected just about every aspect of my life in terms of relationships, communication, honesty, trust, etc. If wifey and I split, we would both be a huge part of the lives of our kids, that much is certain.
 
I don't remember who it was - but you just lost somebody on here that went sideways the last time you posted this. Man that was funny.

That was our boy Hear For A Day. He is missing some neural pathways or something. I tried to explain it so a Russian with English as a second language could understand it and he just couldn't.
 
I love reading this shit. Boomers have the highest rate of divorce of any generation in US history.
Exactly.

My first wife and I were young and naive when we got married at 25. Just thought we would get married and start popping out babies within a few years. After seven years of that not happening, we started fertility, just about every kind along the way. After another five and a half years of that not working, we were done in about every way. We had a lot of fun during those years, but the rollercoaster of high hopes, major disappointments further complicated by past trauma was just too much. We still talk and probably communicate better now than we did when we were married. Some things you just are not prepared for and it's too late by the time you figure that out.
 
Statistically, divorce rates bottomed out at the lowest in 40 years in 2022 and were only slightly up in 2023, so not sure why everyone thinks that this is about younger generations not being resilient. That is just another "get off my lawn" myth.

As far as why the OP has three friends going through it now - here is an article that might help explain the alignment on the timing.

Divorced 10 years now. There is really no better sex than sex with a woman who is recently divorced/going through a divorce who was cheated on.

If you know, you know.


 
A lot of it I think is setting expectations right from the start. For example, I'm the man of the house, at least until my wife gets home. I do whatever I want, whenever I want, as long as she says I can. I told her the sooner she figures out who's boss in our house, the sooner she can give me my orders. She knows I have certain needs, but they aren't that important. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do and I'm going to do what she tells me to.

Stop trying to explain why no woman will touch you, incel.

***** 5 stars. Would read again.
 
Definitely a lot of folks I know. I was one of them 4 years ago after 19 years of marriage. Thing is neither of us were in love with each other and had not been for a long time. It was the kids who kept us together and as first one graduated from high school, it happened. Often that is the true timing behind it all, not mid life crisis nor infidelity but a realization the kids are old enough to handle it and life is way to short to be miserable. My dad ran a high-school here for 25 years said they saw it all the time with parents as first or last kid graduated.

I could not be more happier either. Found someone who actually loved me and we got married last year. Had no idea what I was missing having a true partner in life.

"It's better because the put effort into exposing their kids to sexual fetishes" is quite the take. Hitting the bottle early today 97?

Happily married with multiple kids. You ain't kidding about getting no action anymore. The incel comment was pure cringe though.
