But she is not a guy
Does that [67%] include couples who are separated, but not legally divorced? And, how about couples that are neither divorced or separated, but should be, e.g. couples who are abusive, sleeping in separate rooms/beds, not communicating, or dating other people, but still married and living together? Do these examples factor into the divorce rate? If not, I suspect the rate of "failed" marriages is about 3 out of 4; or 75%.

No not thatbad forgive the rotten typing in tj dental tourism
But American mindset is if it did not happen to me it didnot happen
The way I do it is foot her dental bill in tj and don't marry
1200 bucks is a steal compared to divorce
Btw 1200 bucks in tj buys 6000 worth of dental

This line of thinking is so thread-irrelevant, anyway.
But the point is that if his friend complained these specific things to him, then he'd have the info.

I'm not sure why it's thread irrelevant. And I'm not sure how to take things that don't add up at face value. It's just another thread by another guy who wants to complain about women and marriage. The ruse is a story that does not make sense.

sometimes complaining is a good thing. cowboy up is not a cure all.
i think men need a better understanding of what they are actually getting into. too many don't until they see posts on a thread like this.
expectations are everything. if she is expecting the sun and he is willing to only give the moon, there will be an unhappy ending to the story. too often he is more unhappy than she $$$$$. the martial industrial complex is not kind.

You would be wrong on that count. Go look it up and you'll find article after artical after news story and scientific data that many studies have shown that married men are the happiest of the two. the good news is that both married men AND women are happier than their single counterparts
