finances and infidelity are the top 2 reasons

im in a great relationship at the moment , like the majority of my relationships in life

difference is i don't believe and will never get married.


since when does not wanting to get married or believing in a governered union has to do with dating and relationships thot

Oh really,... Well excuse me mister Casanova..... I didn't know the crap you talk about on here was included in the great relationship 101 syllabus ....You sound like you lead a miserable dating life....

Congrats on your relationship... Does she know that you will "never get married"....

It's a complicated issue.

Money is often cited to be the biggest reason for divorce.
Well you can go down the rabbit hole as to why that's such a problem.
They say statistically men make more money, but women are the primary spenders in the household. So if finances are a problem, there's a big time argument as to who is responsible...and by extension (fairly or unfairly) who is responsible for the divorce.

Then you have the supposed stability of marriages from people who go to college and marry later.
Well why is that?
They are more financially stable? Perhaps.
Do they tend to have less children (presumably because they work and travel more?). Perhaps. That would ease the financial strain.

But it would be interesting to see the satisfaction and quality of a marriage between two people who are older, college-educated professionals who put off marriage and starting a family. How does that impact the family? How does that impact the children?

I'm not out to make any statements, but you have to suspect if this delayed marriage trend (which is fine), probably just starts the clock to divorce at a later time...and that's why you may be seeing the increase in Gray Divorce.

Certainly a man or woman might feel some resentment at giving up their careers and income (and by some extension, decision-making powers) later on in life.

I'm only pondering though.
As a guy approaching his mid-30s, I sometimes wonder if getting married is worth it.

Not that I'm as militant about divorce and marriage as Reincar, but I do believe in trying to be accurate and relatively factual whenever possible.

So...

http://www.npr.org/2014/02/24/282105022/older-americans-breakups-are-causing-a-graying-divorce-trend

"Back in 1990, fewer than 1 in 10 persons who got divorced was over the age of 50," says Brown. But today, "1 in 4 people getting divorced is 50 or older."

Getting married early or later...it seems the trend is that even middle-aged people are getting divorced....and it's happening more frequently.

Its also dishonest to assume trends are linear.

 

[Poitier]

You may be correct, but that is 25% of the people who get divorced....

That doesn't negate that 80% of people who marry later and with education will stay together...

So you are basically talking 25% of the 20% who get divorced....

Yeah I was reading that laughing

Can't assume they aren't either.

Congrats on your relationship... Does she know that you will "never get married"....

Me thinks no.
Proof is in the pudding.

for every woman that was scammed or played there were at least 3 people in her inner circle who told her that nukka was no good

how about men who fake relationships? I'm talking about the ones who get into a relationship for convenience. Never treated her wrong buy knew he wasn't going to marry her. Does this guy fit into the "no good" category b/c there are plenty of men who do this.

women end 70% of relationships

chicks be with men for liek 5 years and never even getting a ring then wondering why wont he marry me

That's the thing, these men know they are not going to marry the current girl so why not end things yourself? You proved my point, most of the time it's the woman who ends the relationship b/c she finally realized this guy wasn't serious, but why won't you just be a man about yours?

because as long as a man is getting loyalty, sex and cooked food and not constantly being nagged he's happy.

why would any man end a relationship with a woman who does that?

And you're still proving my point. So it's ok for a man to be selfish b/c he's getting what he wants? What about what the woman wants? If you as a man knows the woman you are with wants marriage eventually, but you KNOW that she is not the one you want to marry, what makes it ok to string her along just b/c your basic needs are being met. That's the ultimate sign of selfishness and unfortunately, it goes on way too much.

Most women know.

Women just constantly try changing men

Get into "happy" relationships brehettes.
