It makes sense to me that divorces would go down as people wait to get more established and mature to get married. If you marry and have a kid a year or two removed from your biggest worry being related to homecoming or prom, you're still basically a kid yourself, and in today's world you're likely pretty broke as well.
Currently, 41% of first time marriages end in divorce.

Second time marriages, 60%.

Third time, 73%.

Just because they are older and wiser does not mean that marriages will succeed through time otherwise the second and third time divorce rates would be lower.

Also, women who wait to get married at a later date also puts their child bearing potential in jeopardy for time is not on their side in their biological clock, beauty, and finding a potential husband.

Hold up.

The data you've cited really only proves that the people who get divorced once are MUCH MORE likely to get divorced again if remarried. And probably much more so if both parties were previously married

It proves nothing about a better marriage if the couple is older when their first marriage occurs.

I have a co-worker who got married again a few months ago. I *should* have said something along the lines of "congratulations" or "I'm so happy for you."

Instead I blurted out what was on my mind: "What is this, like number six or something?"


Wife had a co-worker that was on her third marriage by age 29. I was not surprised when I saw a "Live. Laugh. Love." sign in her house.

And the 41% first number is rather overloaded because it has no context to it. What was their timetable? Are we counting 70 year marriages with 3 week marriages? In any case, I don't even consider 40% to be that bad...considering that the only other option is death and you have a high "infant mortality rate" of like 20% in first 5 years.

Nope.

She had an odd series of marriages.

She had dated a guy all throughout high school and some of college, and she admitted to my wife that she broke up with him and married her first husband because she was young and her first husband was allegedly much better looking than her high school boyfriend. I'm still not sure how much I believe that.

I think they were together 3-4 years before getting divorced. She then married husband number two, and that didn't last two years, because he was some type of coach, and always put his work first.

Around a year after getting divorced, who does she end up marrying? You guessed it.... her high school boyfriend.

My wife is Facebook friends with her, and allegedly they're still going strong approximately 10 years later.

EDIT: I met this lady while she was still with husband number two. Seemed like a decent dude, but one dinner party doesn't make a trend.

About a year ago, I was verifying names going on a set of design plans for various council members.

We get to the last name on the list. The guy on the phone read her last name, then thought of another.... then double checked it. He started laughing that her name changed 4 times in less than 6 years and was just making sure.

I figured we would make it until the son graduated HS, but we barely got him out of 6th grade.
He's starting HS (supposedly) in the fall.
The last two years of my life have been so much better than the 10-15 before that.

Wife #1 was better than wife #2

If this doesn't work out and I don't expect it too. I'll stay single after a divorce. Women are controlling, entirely way to insecure, and unreasonable. I've been treated like a criminal for over 4 years
If your woman has time to ponder controlling you, you aren't giving her enough **** to do. Her insecurity is a tool that you should be smart enough to use to your advantage. Being unreasonable is a direct reflection of your piss poor management. Playing the victim of your spouse may be the most beta thing a grown man can do, much less take it for four ****ing years. Your next move should include chugging bleach.

I'm sorry it worked out this way for you.

The glued to the phone thing makes sense if she was already eating snatch on the side. With that said, when you put your personal life over your family and kids, you're probably a narcissist and/or sociopath.


And people wonder why our world is so ****ed up today. If you boil it all down, Social media and the internet has a net negative IMO when it comes to our emotional, spiritual and physical well beings.

I say this as I type on TA. I gave up my sub here, I should probably stop visiting all together.

Maybe its not the women. Maybe its you. Or maybe its the women you are picking. Regardless the only constant factor in wife #1 wife #2 and other women in your life is you.

A few good rules to go by with women-
1) Never marry a woman who thinks her dad is perfect or whose dad called her a princess

2) Stay away from women who have taken hormonal birth control for long periods of time. It messes with their personalities, increases anxiety, insecurity, etc.

3) You have to make sure to keep yourself in alpha status while dating/marrying them. women need a strong husband.

4) controlling women, just like dogs that misbehave and bite randomly are controlling because they do not feel solid in their environment or the relationship. This could mean emotional damage from past relationships. This could mean an anxiety disorder/special kind of crazy. This could mean sociopath. This could mean hormonal issues. This could mean that you are failing to fill the masculine role she needs filled (insert sex joke here we will get to that later). In short you need to identify the cause of anxiety and correct. Most of the time these issues can be corrected with good communication and a man that knows how to fill the masculine role. unfortunately for many gen x'ers and millenials feminism's main goal was to neuter the man which was awful for relationships.

5) women who are shrews have not gotten laid properly in a long time. women need sex as much as men or their personalities change. Western MD'S knew this as far back as the early 1900's and actually prescribed vibrator sessions in their offices for such women.

Your woman should want to get laid at least 2x a week and when she does not get that then she should be jonesing for it to the point that she is asking for it if not making direct overtures to you. Now this isn't always the case and extreme stress can certainly throw that average off, but if the above isn't happening you need to step up ur game in the bedroom as well in other aspects of the relationship.

TLDR- A controlling woman is a symptom of a relationship with a man that is not healthy. Fix you first and 8/10 times the issue with her corrects itself.

She is extremely anxious, and won't go on meds. Her anxiety is exhausting and affects the entire household. She reads into everything, her mind starts racing and then everything starts crumbling. Nothing I do helps and I've tried everything. Her anxiety makes her come off as crazy and unreasonable at times. I don't know how she gets through life. She hid all of this very well when we dated.

Her insecurities drive her need to control. I hate being controlled and never have been controlled up until her. I allowed it to a degree because I know marriage requires lots of give and take. I'm a fan of marriage and doing things ad partners through life

I agree with you on the common denominator idea. I'm not cut out for this and I don't mind admitting it. I thought I was but wife #2 taught me all i need to know.


I tailgate with a group from McDade over by Reed Arena. I'm wondering if I know you now.

I mean, that sucks for you, it really does. But not really fair to say that women are that way. Maybe women that you pick. I get it; in my worst moments, I feel like all men are lying, cheating, narcissistic, abusive *******s. But I do try to continually remind myself that y'all can't all be like that. Life is too short to carry around bitterness and suspicion every single day.

As someone who dated a lot (I am 30) and is getting married next month, this is spot on for what i am preparing my relationship for and have been since day 1. Super happy and couldn't be more pumped to be hitched.

My advice is to marry a happy woman.
If they have a great attitude about life in general, they are more than ready to forgive all the stupid crap you'll end up doing.
