I don't necessarily promote #GMB, but this pictogram story should be required viewing for those contemplating matrimony.

It might be dramatic, but it's reality many times.

All it takes is a woman feeling like ur too busy for her, unless you're bringing home 6 figs after taxes, she may feel like she can do "better" elsewhere and get attention, in addition to a divorce giving her extra money.

This video isn't some impossible scenario

In before people say that this is fear-mongering. If the weatherman says there's a 50% chance of rain you wouldn't be surprised if showers came and some would expect it. But with marriage we're supposed to assume the son, and not plan to wear a jacket/hoodie or bring an umbrella because that'd be so negative of us

50% of marriages end in divorce !== You have a 50% chance of getting divorced if you get married.

That's not how statistics work.

As a formerly married man, the scenarios in that video are not far fetched.

I know plenty of men who went through similar. Luckily for me. My ex and me didn't have kids. And me and her shared assets which meant we both didn't want to upset those. So it mostly ran smoothly when we parted.

I will say if you're thinking of getting married as a man. Go in with your eyes open and do the following.

Keep a secret bank account that you keep topped up. As you can bet your wife will be.

Remain in contact with close friends. Don't let marriage mean you let your strong male friendships dwindle as if shyt ever hits the fan you will need those men to keep you afloat mentally. Please don't think you can get over separation by yourself. It can be a lonely time.

As again your ex will have a ton of support on her side. As women keep most of their friendships going.

Thats not me speaking as a bitter man, it's the reality of separating and divorcing.

Ok Explain

Let me illustrate this with an example:

We know from statistics that tonly 20% of restaurants that are launched today will stay open 5 years from now. That's an 80% fail rate. Many ppl take that to mean that your odds for success are 20%.

However, the above does not take into account many factors that could be heavily in your favor:

1) prior experience with running restaurants
2) any competitive advantages you might have in terms of cutting costs, sourcing products, marketing etc
3) what the market looks like when you launch your restaurant
4) location.

Etc etc

It's the same for marriage or any other human endeavor. There are many tangible and intagible factors that could 'tip the scale' in your favor depending on how you go about it. Starting with the criteria you use for picking a spouse. Are your values aligned. Do you have the same views on marriage, finances, how best to raise children etc.. Are your personalities aligned in terms of how you solve conflicts. Do you have external support from family, friends, counselors? Etc etc.. somebody who ticks all those boxes is NOT going to have the same odds of success as someone who married some broad because her sex game is immaculate and she got a fast ass, yet according to how most ppl read statistics, they both have 50% chance of success.

Hope you get my point, breh.

Why didn’t the man ever bark back and put the woman in her place?

Y’all only have yourselves to blame.
Proverbs 21:9
Better to live on a corner of the roof than share a house with a quarrelsome wife.

It's better to live alone in the corner of an attic than with a quarrelsome wife in a lovely home.

It is better to live in a corner of the housetop than in a house shared with a quarrelsome wife
