I can't handle this

but it means that i can finally marry a certain corgi

I heard he had rabies and chlamydia. Would not bang.

[theostrichsays]

But if you don't actually like the person, why do you want to see them on their deathbed?

Naturally the "golden years" don't really start until you rake in the life insurance policy.
Sometimes you may have to help their foot into that door, but that is a conversation for a different thread.

My expenses went from almost non existent to more than I earn in a month, making me reliant on my wife's income as well. I spent ~ $3000 on my pc when I was single, now I'm lucky to get a new HDD even when I need one. My personal expendable income when I was single was maybe $300 a month with a part time job, paying for school, now with a full time job, getting OK pay, I have almost nothing available to spend each month. Women are money sinks. I love her, but sometimes I get stressed by how much we are spending each month.

P.S. I spent all that money on my PC while going to school, having a part time job, and paying for school. Parents made too much money so I couldn't get financial assistance from the government since I was considered a dependent.

Don't you 'Muricans have over 50% divorce rate? It's no wonder people are getting discouraged from getting married.

Pretty much anywhere you'd want to live is 40%+

I believe a wise group of four once wrote a song about this very subject.

[enragedgorilla]

Agreed. Marriage now adays is just you betting another person that they will love you enough not to take half your shit.

True and sad...one reason I refuse to do it.
I see Marriage as a business decision, one that makes sense if your raising a pack of kids. If you don't have kids it isn't really a great business choice betting your going to succeed and the other partner isn't going to take 1/2 (or more) of your crap.
So...bad business and a bad gamble.

No thanks.

What else do you do in your free tim-

Uh. *dry cough* No yeah you're right.

What's up with Spain and Portugal?

[Ichifails]

Soooooooooooooooooooo...

Since there's only a tiny percent more women than men (except in china) what does this mean exactly? Is this supposed to be pointing out that men are choosing not to get married because it's a figure for men? Where's the figure for women? Are 20-34 women much more married than men because they're getting married to sugar daddies or something? Or is the figure for them about the same as well? I kind of fail to see the point in this entire article other than to rustle the jimmies of some incels.

Only 20% of women aged 20 - 34 are not married.

See the problem there?

I probably won't get married. I like being able to do whatever the fuck I want too much. If I ever want to do something and the other person doesn't agree, I want to be able to say "Get the fuck out of my house" without going through trouble.

I don't know, I'm in a decent position. I have an apartment, I make 10 times more than the average for my country (~468 euros/month while I make around 4.5k from doing random shit), I still get job offers every few weeks in IT (we have like 35000 spots that need people and even these start from 1.5k) and I have a Mechanical Engineer Bachelor's Degree.

My girlfriend finished Biochemistry and is doing her masters but she can't find a job. The last offer she had was 6 hours/day working with rather toxic stuff with poor ventilation... for 80e/month... and she had to work 1 week in another town ~600 km away.

They way court works here...you lose even shit you had before the marriage and kids "can't be separated from the mother except in extreme cases" and most of the time they end up with social services and not the father.

I'm sorry but it's not worth it...at all.

I learned way too much about you in way too little time

[oplawlz]

Looks like the gene pool is going to get flushed, only breeders matter.

What does marriage have to do with kids? Your out of touch if you thing they're in any way reliant on each other anymore.

I'm also about 7 inches. Just fyi. Uncut.

No thanks.

The only reason they'd take 1/2 or more of "your crap" would be if your spouse (male or female) either wasn't working or had proof of possessing something you claimed as yours before the marriage.

Otherwise, it's not "your crap" but "the marriage's crap" and yes, you will lose part of something that belonged to two people when they split.

[The One Percent]

there's a ton of legal benefits (such as being able to see them on their deathbed/ when severely injured if in a hospital and validity of wills) that comes with being married, along with tax benefits.

The tax benefits are not as huge as people make them out to be, especially if both partners are working (and they should both be working). Children are the real tax boosts. In my opinion, there should be other legal documents to see someone in the hospital and a properly written and updated will pretty much puts your assets where you want it.

[Szazi]

Not going to marry, because of the fear of losing MY stuff. Most woman marries the person for money (or wealth), one of my main reason prevent me from getting married.
