The cause for divorce and relationship break-ups in 21st century

[EastWind]

Always remember that religion was - in my opinion - originally invented as a way to make people behave in a way that benefited society as a whole, such as no killing and no thieving. And it's much easier to make people behave when you make them believe some god will smite them then to basically wave your finger and say "no no".

So... religion has good roots. If we didn't impose some rules in society we'd still be hiding in caves from the other guys who want to bash our heads in and take off with our women. That better? Don't think so. Nowadays, power is concentrated in the government, so religion is not needed anymore. In fact, democracy is the new religion.

Where it seems to all go wrong is in the last hundred years or so. There's so much going wrong, no just with respect to the men-women interactions, but relating to the absolute power of major corporations and people with money.

The sad thing is men and women wasting their time fighting each other instead of getting together and dragging the bastards who ****ed up society for the sole purpose of their profit into the light.

Good point made - I also speculate before our generation, women and men stayed loyal to each other and persevered through sh!t times just because of religious outcasting from divorce, cheating, etc. Now it is an all you can fucck buffet without answering to much anything.

Lets hope we don't rouse up another Bible thumping debate since some of those got out of hands recently :box:

Peace to you all.... :flowers:

That's one aspect of it. The other purpose of religion is to keep the average man obedient to the elites. Obedience to authority is an inherent doctrine of every major religion.

One day, she wakes up and realizes her husband is not an 8-foot tall billionaire with a 14-inch cawk. She's resents the lack of 'gina tingle that he gives her, so she hates him more and more. She keeps breaking his ballz mercilessly and picking fights and finally files for divorce.

Then she takes half his money and becomes a divorced cougar MILF with a new Mercedes. Then she goes to the bar to F a young struggling student with 6-foot height, muscles, and an 8-inch cawk. She's happy, for a time; then she gets bored again.

oh, bs religiosity had nothing to do with our advances. the Greeks had no religion, in the form of which you speak, and they made nearly all the social advances seen, from about 1000 BC to about 1900 AD.

 

[betheman]

there is a serious conflict at the vwery point of the marriage, the vows! 'to honour and obey, to love and cherish in sickness and in health, for richer, for poorer, till death us do part'...those vows are fine....until you dont agree with them or a better deal comes along, then the white dress and the vows dont seem to count for anything.
as has been said, once the attraction goes...(and despite the cr@p on here about having tight game and keeping your sh!t together, attraction can still vaporise!) its gone, it isnt always the guys fault, she needs to bail and she engineers a scenario to send the marriage into a tailspin.
those vows are of little worth and even less so in todays market, for that is what it is, a market

Just like being religious did not stop a bunch of catholic priests from sodomizing little boys. Religiosity should never be confused with good morals.

I wouldn't be too quick to swallow the great (successful) Western push to view priests as kiddie fiddlers used to undermine religion to make way for the new religion of PC Marxism.

It never sat right with me the way we sh!t on the priesthood and sweep under the carpet the good these men have done and still do. Turns out I was right and statistically a child is less likely to be interfered with being around those in the priesthood than they are compared to those who are not. For memory it was 1.5 % compared with 2.5%. I'll endeavour to find the study but like all truths that conflict with the current agendas it's probably been lost in the wild.

Not to mention the influx of female teachers fvcking their students now would blow the priesthood clean out of the water, and the numbers seem to rise every year. Another fact which gets lost to political correctness and doesn't gel with the current agenda.

Your point is fair one. Not all priests are pedophiles. However, the way the Catholic Church has dealt with the issue is quite telling. Known sex offenders were shifted between dioceses instead of being excommunicated and expelled from the Church. Besides, it's a well known historical fact that the Catholic Church was rife with homosexual deviants since time immemorial. A bunch of men living together in isolated monasteries, prohibited from having any physical contact with women...it's no different than situational homosexuality in prisons, the navy, etc.

On a side note, the Catholic Church operates much like the Marxist nanny state (i.e. indoctrination, fear-mongering and social control). Marxists hate religion so much because it competes with their own ideology for the same gullible, easily-manipulated minds.

Anyways, legally speaking it is much easier for women to get a divorce today than it ever was. Society has shifted from being biased toward men to being biased toward women.

From a female point of view, it makes much more sense to get out of an unhappy marriage and get half of some guy's wealth, than it does to stay in that unhappy marriage and have nothing. This would not have been possible 50 or 100 years ago.

And thank God everything moves in circles. Maybe there is hope.

90% of divorce applications were submitted by women. From my honest conclusion (and Im really trying to be unbiased here) the problem seemed to be the woman simply losing interest in the marriage, and then her drumming up a bunch of BS incidents to make the husband look bad.

I think this is the real truth about why women divorce. At some point they realize they are in a rut and they get bored. Maybe they crave the excitement of a new relationship, or just want a change in general.

Of course, from the DJ perspective, I guess the advice would be to be such an exciting, vibrant man that you are always offering her new and amazing experiences so that she doesn't get bored. But let's be honest, this isn't always practical. At some point you have to be true to yourself and what makes you happy, instead of always trying to reinvent yourself to please a woman.

^^All the women I know who have divorced, that was exactly the situation.

They said the marriage vows but didn't adhere to them.....no surprise there...it's part of being an honorable person.

One of them had 2 kids with her husband. After the divorce she said the marriage was "merely a one night stand over a course of years."

I am starting to believe more and more that women are just little girls in an adult meat-suit who, without any repercussion (as the past generation, religion and persecution from divorce or immoral acts was the backlash) are immoral creatures without a sense of responsibility and 'just want to have fun'.

In essence, I do not think many women ever mature mentally, emotionally, and psychologically from the functions of a little girl. The work place female adult is just a stage performance in the end.

AMEN WE HAVE A WINNER!!! And growing up you were told that girls mature faster than boys. More bs served up by the GIRL POWER committee designed to put men down in order to advance women.

And they never truly heal from their stupid childish decisions. Eventually those selfish acts begin to accumulate and weigh these bi tches down. Women tend to accumulate backage and have a difficult time overcoming the effects. It isn't usually discussed out in the open. But deep down they hurt and suffer. Its always best to just do whats right and try and walk the straight and narrow because in the end you will have to answer to yourself.

Because they (men and women) can. I come from a country where the wife does not get any financial incentives to get a divorce, on the contrary, she usually loses a lot, because there is no alimony, and the child support is minimal, divorce is still extremely common and rates are higher and higher. I guess long term relationships are very hard. Even the ones i know who dont get divorced - men and women, have affairs, a lot of them long term ones. People need both - a sense of emotional security and extreme passion in their lives, and these two things are hard to have at the same time and from the same person, because they are somehow contradicting to each other. Very sad...

Purely in a physical sense.

 

[Fatal Jay]

I will have to date a broad 3 years before I married her, it's hard for a chick to bull$hit that long.

 

[glass half full]

This is a point i have found so true in my relationships with women- The need to re-invent myself. This sucks.
I can't help but proclaim that we should dump our LTR women every 5 years, for a new one. I think this is something both sexes could agree on. Unfortunately this would be hard on the kids.

 

[twentee]

au contrair. I started an affair with a woman who had been married for 12 years at that point. The affair went on and off for over 20 years, and really only ended because I left that area. Women are capable of such stupendous levels of duplicity that it's quite incomprensible to men. Yep, 5 years is where it's at, by law, for immigrants, and without that "club" of deportation (if divorce sooner) you are quite insane to get married, much less have kids. For the kids, if you want to raise them properly, in the US, you need at LEAST 1/4 million in the bank, for each kid, or you're highly unlikely to succeed at the job.

Actually, it was the other way around. Sparta defeated and subjugated Athens in the aftermath of the Peloponesian war.

Yes, but it was the Athenian ideal that survived the test of time. Sparta faded. Athens lives today in many ways.

What he meant was that the Athenian ideals survived. Spartans faded. (Except in cool films)
