marraige is just tradition and imo has no real purpose besides stuff given by the government

For men, = trapped

It’s only a scam if you play a game of it

@🎃Oakheart🎃 men see benefit

I'm doubtful that majority of you have been married which is correct right?

They say woman can't leave me now

She's under a contract hahahahahah

i dont beleive in marraige so

i obvs wont and havent been

The purpose of marriage from a functionalist perspective is to create a stronger bond with legal and social pressures to prevent a split. That is ultimately healthiest for children

*woman cheats on man*

And children should always be the top priority

The state doesn't want you to get divorced.

That's why they make it so rigorous.

The whole point of marriage is to have children anyways

Well yeah but it’s not because they profit from your continued union

@Dear Mason if you have two couples that have been together for 10 years. one couple is married and the other isnt. is the unmarried couple any less valid ?

At least it used to be the reason most people would get married

well for my slut-whore-bimb of a mom, it was all about her so i moved to my Dad's house

cheating is so common bec i think humans arent naturally 100% monogamous and also when people are trapped in a cruddy relationship ofc they are gonna wanna find someone else

@Atlas the Friendly Robot Did say that one is less valid if they aren't married?

That's false @*ᶜʳᵒⁿᶜʰ*

And up to opinion

We don’t actually have a way to know if cheating is common

Not everyone married is gonna go off and cheat because some people have morals or eyes for one person aka the one they're married too

It’s hard to prove and it’s not like people will easily admit to cheating

well ofc

you're right about marriage being for kids also. humans take alot of time and effort to develop and both parent roles are important @Dear Mason

Both parents are good to have around

marraige "for the kids" never works

Hey I’m the one who said that first >:^(

@*ᶜʳᵒⁿᶜʰ* thats not what i mean

i see

marriage in general is for kids

Yes, that

Not “just deal with the marriage that’s falling apart for the sake of the kids”

just divorce after the kids move out lol

Studies I've read say that females who lived without fathers have the tendency to end up doing sexual things younger and men without fathers end up less knowledgeable of male attributes and well might end up gay or something @Atlas the Friendly Robot

or sell the kids on the bm, to have profit

That's what my friend's parents may be doing.

I can't imagine just waiting for the clock to run down.
