Last night I was told by a friend that his brother's 15 year marriage was on the rocks. The man in question has recently lost his job at the local car factory after 20 years and is now packing shelves at a supermarket. The job situation in the area is dire. To add to his financial woes the couple bought a larger house a couple of years ago which prior to his job loss was proving a difficult purchase to manage. The wife is working part-time and has apparently begun a lesbian relationship. There are two young girls involved. This bloke is almost 40 and therfore should be in his prime earning years. His life is fucked. Marriage has become a far too risky investment in terms of time and money. The desired pay off is over hyped and unlikely to be realised. The downside is a life wasted in miserable servitude.

It is too bad that we have allowed the government to usurp the concept of marriage. What people here are mistakenly calling marriage is actually just a government defined legal status. When two people submit to this legal status, they are agreeing to allow the government to encourage them to separate, which clearly isn't a good idea. The real meaning of marriage is when two people agree to commit to each other for the purpose of starting a family. This has nothing to do with the government, and it is a good thing.

....my philosophy is to remove the gov't from marriage altogether....dissolve it as a contract...have a ceremony, but the gov't's opinion is irrelevent.

But then how could the government make billions on your back?
Think about the nice fauna operating within the bosom of the justice industry...
You want to put them out of a job?
How inconsiderate...

We have allowed the government to intrude into the lives of men in general. By trying to level the playing field well meaning men have wrecked the lives of men who have to live in the current environment Behold America the great whore in her downward spiral. After my divorce I thought at times I would consider marriage again. I have been single for eleven years now and am truly grateful I found this site and others like it.
I used to think I was crazy was I the only man who felt this way? Then I read an article my Mathew Weeks “The marriage strike” from that moment on I began rediscovering myself.

Brilliant post, though it would be a fait accompli if it included some citations. For instance for the fact that women want to leave the workforce by age 30, there was a revealing New York Times article within the past couple of years showing that the vast majority of female undergraduate Yale students - YALE students! - wanted to be out of the workforce by age 30.
The difference between us an them is that we are about facts and they are about lies - so since we have the facts on our side, we should show them at every opportunity.

The facts are that Family Law operates in a parallel universe where it is not bound by the US Constitution. One famous case is Chadwick Beatty, who is rotting in prison for 14 years now. He was never charged nor convicted of any crimes. His mistake was having said "I do".
http://freebeattychadwick.blogspot.com/
If the US Constitution *had* applied to Family Law then this case would not have happened. The 13th Ammendment abolished debtors prisons in conjunction with slavery. The 18th Ammendment bans any "cruel and unusual punishment". Apparently none of these constitutional articles have been observed in this Beatty vs. Beatty divorce trial. Welcome to the U.S.S.A.
Men: Stay single. Stay safe.

Marriage is a business contract.
Marry if she brings as much to the table as you do financially.
If she quits her job or refuses to work you do the same thing, then get a divorce.
Don't marry without a prenup drafted by a competent experienced lawyer.
Know that if you have kids all bets are off.

My Opinion:
Marriage is a business contract that solely benefits her.
If she brings as much to the table, she gets to keep that plus whatever high percentage of the Mans net worth as well as C/S payments if applicable.
If both she and he quit their job, he'll get screwed financially by the judge anyway in many/most cases.
Prenups can and have been thrown out (made invalid) by judges even if drafted by a competent attorney because her BS reasoning.
Kids = C/S slavery for many years plus other possible expenses.
WHEW that's all for me bro, I'm GHOSTING.
