Erm... okay. My ex husband left our marriage with everything he started with. I certainly didn't marry him for his money and I made that clear from the start.

Not all do no but maybe don't tar everyone with the same brush. After 12 years, marriage turned out to not work in my favour but finances had nothing to do with it, more the person I was married to. Each situation is unique.

I won't ever put myself in that situation again purely because I don't see the point but some try again and it works for them.

It's not just men that get divorced every day. Clearly. Don't tar everyone with the same brush OP, it's not fair. I got divorced because I didn't love my husband and when he cheated on me I realised I was more pissed off that he'd lied to me than hurt he had cheated. He came out of that marriage a lot better off financially than he went in and I was a lot worse off.

From history the male is the bread winner the female stays at home. That's how it goes, more women are more weathty these days this is true. But it's still a small percentage in this world

No personal issues at all or with women, that's not fare is it ? Maybe read a girls magazine from the shelf and see what's going on in the younger generation? About fame and fortune and have a word with the editor

Oh for goodness sake. Firstly we’re not “in history” anymore. Secondly you said the western world in your op, not the world and thirdly I don’t know one female friend/family member who stays at home whilst the man works and fourthly if they do stay at home it’s usually because they’ve given up/put on hold their career to bring up HIS children!

I was responding to another poster about his comments about women's minds changing with the weather and not knowing what they want.

But as you're asking, you still haven't told us why you think marriage isn't in men's favour.

Marriage is an archaic practice, initially created to demonstrate one human beings ownership of another’s.

Has it evolved? Well yes, one would hope. It now demonstrates a person’s commitment to another with the goal of shared happiness and prosperity.

So.... do we really need a ceremony for that? Do we need a signed contract for that? Love is both beautiful and flippant, what you may love today, you may not tomorrow, marriage complicates love, it certainly doesn’t reinforce it. It puts unnecessary pressure on a natural, pure emotion, it cages the bird and clips it’s wings.

But I am biased, dressing up in a new suit and signing a scroll, doesn’t reinforce the feelings I have for someone.

I'm still trying to recover financially from my divorce 10 yrs ago but would i have taken the roof from over my kid heads or not paid for them growing up no and I wouldnt have had it any other way. I can see where your coming from to a degree but how many men walk away from their obligations and go lead happy lives while their ex's suffer married or not this happens and usually it's the woman who has to bring up the kids with no financial support

My own divorce (petitioned by me due to his affair) split marital assets 70:30 in my favour. We both contributed to equally and both earned roughly the same. It’s in my favour because I have primary care of our children and he has a much higher earning potential. It was not about taking money from my ex, it was about providing a secure future for our children.

I’ll never get married again though!

Eh? Sorry, not being ignorant but genuinely don't understand what you are trying to say.

1, Financial it's not in a man's favour "

In my own case it was most certainly not in this woman's favour. I came away from the divorce with nothing other than the entire marriage debt which he racked up in my name.

I am 8 years into a 10 year repayment plan.

He refused to disclose his assets and finances and I couldn't afford to challenge him. After selling the family home he bought a new house and was able to get a mortgage but I was not able to without paying double the deposit than he did due to the debt.

I moved myself and our 2 children into rented accommodation and until I clear the debt that is where we will remain.

I am not resentful towards him, rather I am super proud of myself for working on clearing the debt and showing my children how to manage finances properly by budgeting and saving.

OP I don't waste my time expecting good fortune or that I am owed something from the legal system or society, I have come through a divorce, the loss of my mum as a child and a step father who spent my inheritance.

I don't care about money or material things, I just want to live a happy life with my own little family.

To be fair OP. I’m not sure what your point is anymore, no offence, do men get a rough ride in divorce settlements? My experience no, they get to pay for the benefits that they had from the marriage, usually someone sacrificing their career to bring up the children, or keep house for them.

When I got divorced I walked away from the house and started again, as I had given my wife the option to work or not to and she decided not to. She kept the house going and made herself difficult to employ after the fact, I wasn’t going to see her homeless. If we had had children, I would have made sure that the money (and hopefully my presence in some form) was there as they grew up.

I guess we all think in our own way

Do you know how much it costs to raise a child OP? I know how much it costs to raise my two because I'm doing it. Everyones circumstances are different though. Also people's situations change for varying reasons.

You're generalising again. You seem to be getting very wound up about marriage,divorce, single parents and the cost of raising children based mainly on stereotypes.

Erm... okay. My ex husband left our marriage with everything he started with. I certainly didn't marry him for his money and I made that clear from the start.

Well done you for sticking with your honour

Many don't

I won't ever put myself in that situation again purely because I don't see the point but some try again and it works for them.

That brush your talking about has ruined many men's life's and has taken them year's some forever to recover!

Don't talk to me about taring, As i read about men being divorce everyday!

From history the male is the bread winner the female stays at home. That's how it goes, more women are more weathty these days this is true. But it's still a small percentage in this world

I certainly wasn't more wealthy than him. I just wanted him out of my life and basically paying him off was he quickest an easiest way.

You've obviously got a personal issue either with women or divorce, and I'm sorry to read that. But it's not fair to car us all with the same brush as I said.

That's got nothing to do with whatever point you're trying to make.

Due to my job I have seen men and women going through divorces and most of the time whoever has custody of the children gets the most money as they need a roof over the children's head and enough money to raise them. I am optimistic about marriage as my grandparents were married for 62yrs, my parents are currently at 43yrs my aunt & uncle are at 37yrs and my brother is at 12yrs

Solicitors also take into account the female's life style for example clothes,a home,money,as well as the children school food clothing and so on i agreed

70% to 30%.

You lucky so and so. I got 22% and she got 78%.I'm not bothered, I agreed to it. I didn't want to argue about cash in front of other people.

It’s not lucky, it’s a fair split. Obviously I can’t comment on yours but mine was very amicably decided because there are children involved.

As for the comment previously, it’s not solicitors that decide on how to split assets fairly. My ‘lifestyle’ was never funded by my ex husband, and vice versa. The fact is, many women take career breaks, give up work or take lower paid positions to enable their husbands to continue to do their job and earn a higher amount and when separated, that can be compounded.

I don’t agree.....

I know a man that was extremely better off being married and now very well looked after in spousal maintenance, it all depends on your situation and outlook I suppose.

Generalisations never really go down well as there are so many situations to consider.

I signed over a business, which should net her 100k a Year. She's also asked for 1k a month. Request denied. My son is earning (19yr old), I Pay him £250 a month. He also has a trust fund to get a house with. I genuinely want to look after both of them,but she was a little greedy.

"defo not in a womans favour in other parts of the world.

I always thought marriage was about 2 people being equals.

Equal...lol.

We're equals. We both give, we both take. We've been married 11yrs and together nearly 17. We're doing OK

Is a Male lion and a lioness Equal?

Irrelevant, we're not lions, at least not last time I checked

Eh? Sorry, not being ignorant but genuinely don't understand what you are trying to say.

1, Financial it's not in a man's favour

Erm... okay. My ex husband left our marriage with everything he started with. I certainly didn't marry him for his money and I made that clear from the start.

Well done you for sticking with your honour

Many don't

I won't ever put myself in that situation again purely because I don't see the point but some try again and it works for them.

That brush your talking about has ruined many men's life's and has taken them year's some forever to recover!

Don't talk to me about taring, As i read about men being divorce everyday!

From history the male is the bread winner the female stays at home. That's how it goes, more women are more weathty these days this is true. But it's still a small percentage in this world

I got divorced recently.

18 years together. 7 married.

I put all the money in.

I paid for absolutely everything while my ex did 12 to 14 hrs a week.

It’s just cost me 1/4 of a million to get divorced.

My ex got 50% of the equity. That’s fair. Just smarts because I was the only one making it.

I’ve just done a major renovation/development and made back all that plus a load more this past year.

Life’s what you make it.

No, but it's women's rights and freedoms that make a modern marriage equally beneficial for both parties.

Women are no longer expected to simply be baby making machines, tied to the house.

Historically, men very much had the upper hand in any marriage.

I never married but lived with someone for 25yrs. I worked full time throughout and brought up 2 children. When we split he ended up with alot more than me. If we had been married i would have got more. Money is not everything. He is now pretty rich and me pretty poor but i am much happier.

I was married for 17 years, we split when my husband was earning a poor wage so I bought the house from him and didn’t take maintenance for almost 6 years as I was getting tax credits for our 3 children (I was an admin worker so not getting much more than him). I supported my ex both financially and emotionally for 5 years after the split as we needed him to be happy so we could be happy then i discovered he probably has narcissistic personality disorder so stopped supporting him.

He then found a new supply for his narcissism and as a result no longer sees any of our 3 children.

I asked for maintenance for our youngest when our older two left school as I no longer got tax credits for them and had to go through CSA for this. I spent 4 years working full time and studying full time so I could get a job that would support me and my children so no longer need his maintenance payments but by god I will continue taking them as he is due to pay for his child and doesn’t contribute anything else to their lives not a birthday Card or anything!

It’s all your fault.

You’ve been spouting drivel throughout the thread, going off topic to suit your ‘bizarre’ views on society, be it women aren’t allowed to work, men are submissive if happy. You even resorted to mansplaining at one point, which was almost your lowest point, but then you suggested relationships where all akin to lions or monkeys.

As for saying ‘it’s easy to be judgemental‘ pot kettle

Western world. Where we have more equality and women rarely die in childbirth.

Did i ever say, you did not have those rights and freedoms ?

No, but it's women's rights and freedoms that make a modern marriage equally beneficial for both parties.

Women are no longer expected to simply be baby making machines, tied to the house.

Historically, men very much had the upper hand in any marriage. the cost of living is high, both parties have to work

What has that to do with anything?

Other than a excuse to keep the woman at home.

For many years I was the main wage earner.

Im saying..couples both have to go out to work because the cost of living is high. Both bread winning

If that's what they choose to do and many don't.

If they are happy with their situation then thats all that matters.

Alot of men aren't happy to be honest and the one's that are, tend to be submissive simps begging for the Wap!

So its not only women you have dim view of, its men too.

You will have to ask some other guys, Me im a happy chappy

You aren't coming across that way

and whose fault is this

it's so easy to assume and be judgemental

Hang the messenger

You are accusing others of being judgemental!

People are intittled to their opinion

Im still waiting for you to tell me how the government doesn't support a single mother with children

You said "some don't get support" ?

"Marriage works for us.

We have been a couple over 20 years and married for 15.

A good marriage is a partnership and apparently happily married men live longer too.

Happy married men live long lol

"defo not in a womans favour in other parts of the world.

I always thought marriage was about 2 people being equals.

Equal...lol.

We're equals. We both give, we both take. We've been married 11yrs and together nearly 17. We're doing OK

Is a Male lion and a lioness Equal?"

Quite a bad example given lionesses do the vast majority of the hunting whilst the lions sit about.

Or are you saying you want to be a kept man?

It's a partnership, supposed to benefit all parties. When it's right it's like some amazing synergistic magic, innit.... ....when it's wrong, it's half your fault....

Or maybe he’s saved a few quid, bought his own house and doesn’t want to lose 70:30 to some gold digger who lies about being on the pill....
