@very-rusty saidNot woman's fault, woman's choice.
I believe you to be very gullable if you think 70% of Divorce is the womans fault.
I may not be the one who needs to be educated here.

@eladar saidCan I suggest you start this thread on the Spirituality Forum? It would be interesting to examine your views on marriage through the lens of religious belief and principle.
See, that is where one of the major flaws in marriage lies, mixing of assets.Just live together with no obligations. Perhaps agree to split some bills while you live together, but no more than that.When you are ready to move on, move on.Kids? No different than what would happen with one night stands. Be responsible and do not have kids if she can't afford them.
@eladar saidMy marriage is based on Christian principles as is my view on marriage. Your views on marriage seem about as un-Christian as one can be, and yet you are one of the most sanctimonious and judgmental Christians on the Spirituality Forum. It would take some courage, as we both realize, for you to open up your views to scrutiny from a moral and spiritual point of view, so that may well be why you don't want to.
No thanks
@fmf saidLol, ok Mr. Holier than thou.

@eladar saidNo, I don't think I am "holier than thou" because I see my marriage as having been entered into and maintained based on Christian principles.
Lol, ok Mr. Holier than thou.
I don't think Christians are "holier" than anyone else. I am an agnostic atheist. There is no "holy" and "Holier" and "holiest".
Those are notions for Christians. And you are a Christian, or so you claim.
You should take your views on marriage to the Spirituality Forum and explain how your Christian beliefs underpin them, It would be interesting.
@very-rusty saidActually you should have phrased that:
I guess there has been a big spike in the Divorce rate since the Covid-19. People can't seem to live together who are married. I think someone had to have made this up.

In hintsight one will realize that there has been a spike...
The process takes time and I would be really astonished if people had already gone through it in that short time.
@eladar saidWell I have been married nearly 30 years now and not regretted it.
@Very-Rusty
I have believed for a while now that in today's world marriage is something to be avoided.
Sure if you have religious convictions then get married.
Otherwise marriage is stupid for a guy.
Why would you want to avoid marriage?
@ponderable saidI said in today's world. You were married in a time earlier.
Well I have been married nearly 30 years now and not regretted it.
Why would you want to avoid marriage?
Of course there is the rare exception to the rule.
What is that rule? Divorced after 8.2 years, usually it is the woman who wants out. So if your wife is being honest, she has probably wanted to leave you. I think how much money the guy makes can mitigate that a bit. Life is much better if you have good sums of disposable income.
