How Student Loan Debt Is Destroying Marriages

"I'm essentially a credit hostage. If she declared bankruptcy, 100 percent of the burden would land on my lap."

‘I’m essentially a credit hostage. If she declared bankruptcy, 100 percent of the burden would land on my lap.’

Maybe poonless men will start spinning PayOffWifey'sStudentDebtGame?

The third scenario, however, is the least discussed of the group — partners who take on student loan debt accrued during the marriage or relationship by cosigning on it. Take John (not his real name), a 32-year-old engineer who agreed to cosign his wife’s student loans so she could advance beyond working as a receptionist at a veterinary clinic to pursue a career in wildlife and natural resource management. “When a significant other asks you to cosign a student loan, what choice do you have?” he tells me. “It’s a rock-and-a-hard-place kind of situation. You really don’t have a solid argument to discourage cosigning. Because your marriage isn’t going anywhere, right? Really, it’s a no-brainer, since you’d look like a total selfish jerk if you didn’t cede the point.”

my opinion: This is almost as bad as adopting a Single Mommy's xenospawn.

SMH. Simps. One has to assume the woman you will be paying your wife’s debt when you get married. Knowing that, why marry a broad in a lot of debt?

And why is this simp funding his wife’s “career” aspirations? Your wife is supposed to help you earn more money at your job or work for the family business. She’s not the focal point of the household.

Didn't read the article, because I lived it. Truth be told, it was the beginning of the end. If I could live that time period again in my life, I would have delayed marriage and children until there was demonstrated positive cash flow from her.

A friend of mine paid for his wife to go to law school. He supported her and paid the tuition fees, she never took out a loan.

6 months after she graduated she divorced him.

Why bro why?! Why would he allow his wife to go to law school to begin with? Female Lawyers do not have time to be wives.

Men, stand your ground on this bullshvt.

He should have sued for alimony.

Never co-sign

Never co-sign

Yes. If you didn't sign for the debt, it isn't yours just because you married it.

I agree completely. Female lawyers barely have time to go on a single date let alone be a wife.

It's not that difficult for most men to avoid female lawyers. While they are all over the swipe apps, they will rarely appear in real life. One Sunday morning, I was at the gym and saw a woman wearing the t-shirt of a certain professional football team. It was easy to approach her with a comment/question pertinent to that team. I got to talking to her and she turned out to be a lawyer. I was a bit disappointed in that. There was only one other time that I approached a lawyer. I was at an event to promote some charitable cause at a bar. I saw some woman with an amazing tan and overall physique and she was a lawyer. Ugh.

A bunch of mental masturbation

you guys have a really bad vibe , no wonder You are not successful with women

even guys do not like you . Only self pity and bitterness

Yes. If you didn't sign for the debt, it isn't yours just because you married it.

Well, you are going to pay for your wife’s debt even if it’s not legally yours.

I actually advocate combining finances. Reason being because if you don’t- the arrangement becomes her money is her money and your money is her money. Only way to access her income is to combine it with yours. If my woman earns income outside of my house I better have full access to it.

never works

if you care about money , you should get a woman that is conscious when it comes to money

I agree. All women have debt though. $5,000 is a lot better than $500,000 in debt. Either way, you are assuming her debt if you marry her.

A relative of mines has two kids with a former single mother. He's stuck and I hate that he went out like that.

Yes student loan debts have made women not only into slaves but it also has made them emotionally stressful and angry. And an emotional woman acts irrationally.

Debt is the number 1 in the ranking of "couple issues"

Marriage is for the rich now.

Solution: be financially responsible + don't cave to all the "wants" of your partner
