If she cheats on you and divorces you, she'll still get half your stuff.

If you never get married you don't have to worry about that possibility.

People just aren't loyal these days...

Google says:
England and Wales. The term "common-law marriage" has been used in England and Wales to refer to unmarried, cohabiting heterosexual relationships. However, this is merely a social usage. The term does not confer on cohabiting parties any of the rights or obligations enjoyed by spouses or civil partners.

Pretty sure it's one of those myths that people just accept without question.

And asking someone to sign a prenup is obviously an awkward situation (that's an understatement)

This also applies to us in the states. Though, the minimum time frame for her legal entitlement of some of your belongings is at LEAST six months.

Any man who gets married, especially without a prenup, is an idiot. Women are not loyal. You can be married to her for 20 years and randomly out of the blue she'll just go fuck some other guy out of boredom.

Don't trust 'em.

And prenups aren't known for being reliable, either.

If you find a woman that you want to marry, then do it. Don't let the kangaroo family court system rob you of the chance to start a family. The fact that the biased family courts enable shitty women to ruin the lives of their exes just means that you have to be careful. My wife won't cheat on me and she wouldn't divorce over petty reasons.

Nothing is certain, no matter how well you think it is.

I doubt very many many actually go into marriage thinking their partner will cheat on them.

Tax benefits. That's about it. At least logically. Societally, for some folks it seems like a better idea to be married to somebody over just having a long term girlfriend/boyfriend, especially if they have kids. Societal expectations exist. And for the gay community, just how novel (at least in that it's totally legal now) it is still is kind of a big deal, especially for some of the older generations.

Once kids enter the picture, the courts can bend you over all the same. Heck, in some cases that happens even if the kids aren't yours.

You just have to stay away from low quality people.

I would hope that if youre a decent person, you can land a decent person if you arent picky when it comes to looks.

I had an uncle that married a woman with a kid and foolishly adopted the kid. Wife splits for a high school sweetheart, he's on the hook for taking care of the kid until he's 22.

Can't speak for everyone

but I got married because I found someone who I wanted to make a commitment to in front of our families. we both take it seriously and so far it has been very rewarding - though I've only been married a year so get back to me in a few and ask again hah

have our first child coming up to. the responsibility can be overwhelming sometimes, but it gives life new meaning, that's for sure. We're going into it as the next great adventure of our lives...and I couldn't imagine doing it alone (kinda need the other half to make the baby too)

They never were. People just died before they could get sick of each other or were forced to stay in loveless marriage due to archaic social views. Kids should grow up in 2 parent households. That doesn't mean it has to be their two birth parents that clearly no longer love each other and are making everyone's lives worse.

If you're religious and believes in most of the Judeo Christian religions, having sex outside of marriage is consider a sin. So it wouldn't surprise me if there are probably people out there who want to get married to get a taste of it.

Another thing: Why do sour meninists always act as if men are forever loyal and loving? Just because you had one bad breakup and can't move on from someone who wasn't the one doesn't mean breakups are all on the unloyal whores we call women. A lot of divorces are mutual and plenty of men that cheat are the instigators, not just mending their broken heart after their ex smashed it to pieces. Also, MRAs need to decide if they're tough and independent or emotionally fragile and clingy, because they give off mixed signals.
