Funny I never read in a religion that marriage or divorce varies county by county judge by judge. I think I’ll pass on marriage. If women want “traditional” men, then they need to have a “traditional” Dowry. I’m fine as I am. Semi Retired at 49, house paid in full, a good savings and I won’t divorce myself.
The dowry was for women, ultimately. Now it is not that all women will bail on their marriage, but that they can, with full blessing from the government and even churches today.
It took me 10 years to recover from my one and only marriage, she's on her fourth...and she lost custody of my youngest and a kid from her second husband due to domestic violence,neglect, and alcohol abuse. She forever tainted marriage for me, and neither of my two kids have anything to do with her, which was completely their choice.
@CJ Boyle That kinda makes sense....the ladies were sold a bill of goods about marriage back in the day. They're finding out that there's more to life than being some guys property.
@Wild Bird - okay I heard what you just said, what are the benefits , I'm not trying to be rude I'm just sincerely asking, based on your comment what you believe that they are?
Highest rate of suicide is for men who are going through or have gone through gray divorce. The system is setup to turn man into indentured servants that can never retire, given the fact that he has to pay for two households as opposed to one after retirement
If there are young kids involved and the issue of child support there may be some truth to that but even then statistically women are usually the ones who suffer worse financially post divorce
Statistics say devorice rate is 69%. But that doesn't count the people who are separated or the people who decided to just run off without getting devoriced. I'm thinking it's probably 79% if you count those.
The thing about a gray divorce is thats its almost impossible for a man to get back on his feet again. You can recover if you`re in your thirties but imagine trying to start over again in your 60`s.......
@@repairtech2387 True it will be much harder in your 60s than in your 30s, as long as you do not repeat the process than you will always come out a loser at any age, safer to stay single.

I'm a baby boomer who married in 1976 at age 25 and my then-wife at 23. We divorced in 1990 and I can tell you with 100% certainty that it was a direct result of the feminist movement. As for the lower divorce rates in recent times I think lower marriage rates have a direct effect on those numbers. The feminist movement has adversely affected society for decades to come.
Yup.. 71... married to same woman for 50 years.. I have seen and endured it all.. The first 25 years for the sake of the children, the second 25 years because I didn't want to be divorce raped and end up living in my car under an overpass. I finally found the red pill in early 2019- it explained everything to me about her behavior.. Never get married.
I divorced my ex-wife Lisa Thomas in 2017, after 17 years of marriage and 17 years of separation. I'm MGTOW since 2001, and my wife is great. No wife happy life, free-agent lifestyle: No serious relationship, cohabitation, no marriage, and no nagging and worries. Marriage has no value to men in the 21st Century.
Gray ? interesting for sure, women with mental issues and feminist ! The crazy part is that 50 y.o. plus gal`s just dont have the SMV (sexual marketplace value) that they did when they were in their 20`s . Men have seen the decline of western society women from the 70`s till now 2019. Men are choosing to not be in relationships or to marry anymore unless they go overseas to get a lady that has traditional values.
@Cannondale2019 here comes the shaming tactics. The more there are means the more they realize we are the america in the 2nd world war. A Japanese Captain exclaimed "we may find we have awoken an unstoppable giant" right before pearl harbor.
My last long term relationship ended about 15 years ago and it cost me both mentally and financially. Now though, I'm financially secure, spend my time doing what makes me happy without continually trying to please someone who is nearly impossible to keep contented, no matter how hard you try. Now I have a good relationship with my son and when I turn my toes up he is getting all I have. Never again will I risk my happiness and my boy's inheritance for a woman and if anyone threatened that I'd kill them. Extreme threats require equally extreme responses.
Met a man at a conference last summer..hadn't seen him in 30 years...be was ready to retire...until his wife tells him she's bored/doesn't love him anymore & getting a divorce. She, her lawyer, the scam court & the state screwed him over! House, half his pension & savings plus alimony! He will have to work until he drops dead. ( or commits suicide) Believe me, I was shocked at his physically broken condition. The divorce had broken him. 30 plus years of marriage and then he loses everything..on one word from her....no-fault divorce.
Divorce is horrible but why would you want to be stuck in your house all day, in your last years of life, with someone who doesn't like you? Everyday would be awful and God forbid he needs someone to take care of him. What kind of care would he receive from a spouse that just doesn't like him. If she stayed just to keep the assets they would have both been miserable. Retirement is hard for couples when both parties love each other. Your around your spouse so much more. I can't imagine it with someone who hates you.
Divorce would only be declining (if that claim is really accurate) if fewer marriages are happening. Most women have no commitment to the promises they give and that is what is harming it so much, especially with grey divorce. Few men are filing for these divorces.
People didn't live past 55 or 60 years old in the past so death provided what "divorce" provides now as people are living so long well into their 80's. People are married too long probably not natural to only ever know one person for almost 60 years. People grow at different times and that can be a game changer in relationships unfortunately.
Bro all of human history has been about you. The majority of the world is about you. We’ve only been able to support ourselves for like 2 generations, do shutty.
What a piece of incompetent reporting. Even in 2012 modern divorce laws gave 1/2 of a couple's property/wealth/etc to each partner. In addition, divorced women could get social security based on their spouses work history. JHC both the reporter and so called writer were unedcuated idiots on the laws. There is no such thing called a CEO payout in a legal system that divides up wealth and property upon a divorce on an equal basis.
Typical : talk all around the topic and not say what the headline suggests is a fundamental problem. Stop all the theories and side-trips and get to the point
She complained for years about having a difficult life. He retires to find making her own meals and talking to friends were her whole life. And she complained?
I’m thinking social security and investments are mature and people see a the death goal line a few years ahead and don’t need the other persons financial help. I myself am blessed with a loving person, couldn’t nor wouldn’t want more than what I have. 🧐 hope she fells the same.
Careful, most people will blame you guys entirely. I know better, so I blame you guys for passing the laws in the first place, but I blame millenials for passing even more. To boot they are fighting tooth and nail to keep it. I'm a millenial, and they still are worse than boomers
Women can't expect a handsome payout?.. Yeah what planet is this on? Seems to me most divorces start at the point of 50:50 then we can talk about alimony payments!
Marriage IS very different than it used to be. Thanks to the feMEnist babykillers it has now degenerated into a farce and a laughingstock joke. If you are a man and you get married nowadays you are nothing but a fool and a sucker. "She" (and I use that word lightly) doesn't want you, she wants what you can get for her. Period.
Who is this idiot? It's all about cash and prizes. Wimmen want $$$$$$$$$$ from a man and that is all. Well, also to worship the devil and his feMEnist evil religion.
So often the man gets the bad rap but in many cases the blame lays with women. They take their men for granted. Yes different priorities arise through a relationship, kids being the main occurance, but women tend to put their men on the back burner during this period and allow this to elongate as time goes by leading men to consider themselves as just a pay packet coming into the home. When you don't feel wanted you gravitate to where you are wanted and this is classed as male infidelity when it should really be classed as female desertion
I believe it’s because the kids are gone and like the interviewer asked they don’t know what to do with each other ... the other reason is selfishness after taking care of the family after all these years it’s my turn to do what I want...
Ok boomer.....but seriously millenials are worse. I'm one, but grew up poor. I know accountability well, so have boomers. Most boomers screwed up, but their screw ups are more reasonable at least. No I won't blame boomers beyond allowing these laws to get set up, I will blame those who know the harm they do, yet still fight to keep them.......MILLENIALS.
Seems to me the only to accurately measure the divorce rate is to compare the percentage of marriages vs the percentage of those who married, then divorced.
It is ironical - the reporter has a hyphenated last name (a sure sign of feminism) but fails to point out that feminism is a major factor behind divorce.
@@missinterpretation4984 Hmm, the right to destroy families through divorce (70 to 80 per cent of divorces initiated by women); the right to raise children in a single parent home who then become neurotic and often alcohol or drug dependent; and of course, the right to abort 50 to 60 million babies who are dependent upon their mothers for protection and nurturing - do you mean those rights? I would say that the word pesky hardly begins to do justice to those particular rights.
@@daves2520 Do you think the person who filed the divorce paperwork is the person who destroyed the family? No, honey. You file after years of being destroyed. All you just did was expose that you want women trapped with no bodily autonomy. What a sicko. The rights we have are to be educated, work, have our bank accounts and make our own decisions and you hate that. Well, too bad. We’re not going back.
Marriage is a great institution which has been badly damaged rather destroyed by the Christian West. More than half of the Western population is illegitimate. That's an irreparable loss.
Proverbs 31:10-31 KJV - Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Showed this to my wife. She rolled her eyes. So, +2 for marriage from a couple of Gen X'rs who said "I do" 32 years ago and are enjoying each other, life, kids, and career more than ever. It's possible when you're committed to something bigger than yourself.
@@redsox2187There were signs, you just ignored them. Every divorced couple I know from childhood I called their divorce before it happened. They all had it coming either because of something they did or ignoring the OBVIOUS signs the person they married was not marriage material before they got hitched. Oh this no-ambition layabout who played videogames all day when you were dating never went back to school like he said he was going to, and still doesn’t help with the housework? Hmmm…you don’t say. Oh the girl you fell in love with who suspiciously was hated by every woman who ever met her, never had ANY female friends but always had 2 dozen close male friends cheated on you? Hmm…who would have thought?
Tell us about it feminist reporter and professor, sociologist whatever. You look around and the great denominator in all these divorces, young, middle aged, not so young, is no commitment to their Christian vows. Older couple can live gracefully with the help of God. Prayer life, calm down, intellectual activities. "Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honor should decline!" - G.K. Chesterton. Against the world, the flesh, and the devil!
If yr partner has been pushing yr same buttons for 49-50 yrs n refuses to quit, u just want to run. It slowly but surely drives u crazy. Hate rises. Contept grows. Anger explodes. Divorce. Please.
It might be that some women loose interest in their husbands, especially sex, but the men don't loose interest in sex......so the men start looking around. Women without a husband are willing to take care of a man, at least temporarily, to get the man to leave his wife and take up with them.
So those of us who gave up our careers to raise the children and are now empty nesters will end up on the street? Haven't had a paying job for 32 years...tired of being a golf widow. What now?
There are two solutions to the problem of too many single hags and not enough decent men. Either the old, single hags pair up into companionship relationships, not lesbian but fem-fem bond or the decent men out there take up a stable of wamenz on rotation as part of a harem. Either way, the future will be different to the past.
Give her a car. Give her a ring. Just never give her the wedding haha. Drag it out as long as you can then start refusing to do stuff or go places. Eventually she'll leave which is the best outcome for both IMO. There is no positive in marriage for men anymore.

Who is this idiot? It's all about cash and prizes. Wimmen want $$$$$$$$$$ from a man and that is all. Well, also to worship the devil and his feMEnist evil religion.
So often the man gets the bad rap but in many cases the blame lays with women. They take their men for granted. Yes different priorities arise through a relationship, kids being the main occurance, but women tend to put their men on the back burner during this period and allow this to elongate as time goes by leading men to consider themselves as just a pay packet coming into the home. When you don't feel wanted you gravitate to where you are wanted and this is classed as male infidelity when it should really be classed as female desertion
interesting that only men comment, I would like to know what women think of it
I believe it’s because the kids are gone and like the interviewer asked they don’t know what to do with each other ... the other reason is selfishness after taking care of the family after all these years it’s my turn to do what I want...

“The Baby Boomers aren’t dead yet.” The rest of us waiting patiently for that day.
Ok boomer.....but seriously millenials are worse. I'm one, but grew up poor. I know accountability well, so have boomers. Most boomers screwed up, but their screw ups are more reasonable at least. No I won't blame boomers beyond allowing these laws to get set up, I will blame those who know the harm they do, yet still fight to keep them.......MILLENIALS.
Seems to me the only to accurately measure the divorce rate is to compare the percentage of marriages vs the percentage of those who married, then divorced.
Those lesbian couples who find they can't make ends meet...
It is ironical - the reporter has a hyphenated last name (a sure sign of feminism) but fails to point out that feminism is a major factor behind divorce.
Those pesky women’s rights eh.
@@missinterpretation4984 Hmm, the right to destroy families through divorce (70 to 80 per cent of divorces initiated by women); the right to raise children in a single parent home who then become neurotic and often alcohol or drug dependent; and of course, the right to abort 50 to 60 million babies who are dependent upon their mothers for protection and nurturing - do you mean those rights? I would say that the word pesky hardly begins to do justice to those particular rights.
@@daves2520 Do you think the person who filed the divorce paperwork is the person who destroyed the family? No, honey. You file after years of being destroyed. All you just did was expose that you want women trapped with no bodily autonomy. What a sicko. The rights we have are to be educated, work, have our bank accounts and make our own decisions and you hate that. Well, too bad. We’re not going back.
And do not dare blame women. because women do have any responsability in this. Right!!!!
Marriage is a great institution which has been badly damaged rather destroyed by the Christian West. More than half of the Western population is illegitimate. That's an irreparable loss.
Unfortunately
Proverbs 31:10-31 KJV - Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life. She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands. She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while it is yet night, and giveth meat to her household, and a portion to her maidens. She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard. She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff. She stretcheth out her hand to the poor; yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of the snow for her household: for all her household are clothed with scarlet. She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; her clothing is silk and purple. Her husband is known in the gates, when he sitteth among the elders of the land. She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness. She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness. Her children arise up, and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her. Many daughters have done virtuously, but thou excellest them all. Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands; and let her own works praise her in the gates.
Showed this to my wife. She rolled her eyes. So, +2 for marriage from a couple of Gen X'rs who said "I do" 32 years ago and are enjoying each other, life, kids, and career more than ever. It's possible when you're committed to something bigger than yourself.
You can be committed all you want, but when you come home from work one day, and find divorce papers on the table, there's not much you can do.
@@redsox2187 True, it takes both working towards the same goal.
@@redsox2187There were signs, you just ignored them. Every divorced couple I know from childhood I called their divorce before it happened. They all had it coming either because of something they did or ignoring the OBVIOUS signs the person they married was not marriage material before they got hitched.
Oh this no-ambition layabout who played videogames all day when you were dating never went back to school like he said he was going to, and still doesn’t help with the housework? Hmmm…you don’t say.
Oh the girl you fell in love with who suspiciously was hated by every woman who ever met her, never had ANY female friends but always had 2 dozen close male friends cheated on you? Hmm…who would have thought?
Ladies, never give up your career for marriage. No free labor.
Could divorce rates among younger people be going down because, marriage rates are on the decline? Food for thought.
No such thing as grey divorce.
It's just Divorce.
Tell us about it feminist reporter and professor, sociologist whatever. You look around and the great denominator in all these divorces, young, middle aged, not so young, is no commitment to their Christian vows. Older couple can live gracefully with the help of God. Prayer life, calm down, intellectual activities. "Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honor should decline!" - G.K. Chesterton. Against the world, the flesh, and the devil!
If yr partner has been pushing yr same buttons for 49-50 yrs n refuses to quit, u just want to run. It slowly but surely drives u crazy. Hate rises. Contept grows. Anger explodes. Divorce. Please.
It might be that some women loose interest in their husbands, especially sex, but the men don't loose interest in sex......so the men start looking around. Women without a husband are willing to take care of a man, at least temporarily, to get the man to leave his wife and take up with them.
I read the title wrong! I thought it said “Gay” divorce and I thought, “oh, poor them, they’ve joined the club now too”! 😂
The wall is a force to be reckoned with.
Just when the guest was describing the changing dynamics thru the years, was abruptly cut off. The meat of the story was chopped. Disgraceful.
Gray divorce is just GenX getting older
Not all marriages yield children.
So those of us who gave up our careers to raise the children and are now empty nesters will end up on the street? Haven't had a paying job for 32 years...tired of being a golf widow. What now?
I am glad to be #MGTOW
There are two solutions to the problem of too many single hags and not enough decent men. Either the old, single hags pair up into companionship relationships, not lesbian but fem-fem bond or the decent men out there take up a stable of wamenz on rotation as part of a harem. Either way, the future will be different to the past.
Give her a car. Give her a ring. Just never give her the wedding haha. Drag it out as long as you can then start refusing to do stuff or go places. Eventually she'll leave which is the best outcome for both IMO. There is no positive in marriage for men anymore.
Never leave your wing man ...
The problem is most wives never considered their husbands as their wingman. The husbands were disposable security blankets.
People grow apart maybe one gets down and can't do anything anymore or the other is depressed and doesn't like like the other anymore or maybe boredom
Men and women are ignorant. Thank you kids are on their own. Now we really enjoy ourselves. People are tickled and want something they don't have. Be creative and enjoy life and each other.
