Meanwhile @ NBCNEWS.COM : Marriage is not all that.

[Frank V.Participant 2445]

Meanwhile at NBCNews.com, we find this interesting report:

https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/why-we-thought-marriage-made-us-healthier-why-we-were-ncna801646?cid=sm_npd_nn_tw_ma

Some nuggets that caught my eye:

No matter how he looked at it, Tumin found marriage did nothing for men’s health. Among the women, only the oldest study participants in the most enduring marriages described their health as a bit better after they had married.

And:

Tumin’s findings follow on the heels of a 16-year study of Swiss adults that found married people experienced no fewer illnesses than when they were single. According to their reports of overall health, study participants actually became slightly less healthy after marrying.

And how did this slip past ?

We think that because married people have someone, they are protected from loneliness and single people are not. But that is another example of a misleading cultural narrative fixated on the perils of single life. It ignores the special pain of feeling lonely within a marriage. It fails to appreciate the deep fulfillment that solitude can offer, with its opportunities for creativity, reflection, relaxation, rejuvenation, spirituality and peace.

Read the rest for yourself.

Nothing new to me. I already knew of these truths. Thanks for posting this, Frank.

Marriage is dead for the foreseeable future.

A promiscuous society and marriage goes together like gasoline in a Styrofoam cup!

All MGTOW truths backed up by facts, even the solitude bit.
But if a MGTOW man says it, he’s a lonely misogynist.

The article is far better than most I have seen on the topic. Nice to see some of the skipped over questions addressed.

But to be fair being better than most articles on marriage is a low bar.

Nice to see a MSM article that is willing to post an article that doesn’t support ‘the narrative’ for a change.

Marriage: About as appealing as wood-chipper diving.

I was dead inside when I was married. If I was still in that marriage today, it woulda killed me years ago. No joke.

Like a bird on the wire, like a drunk midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.

Not news to me, but you know it is painfuly obvious when it is in a MSM article which answers to the establishment.

Love is just alimony waiting to happen. Visit mgtow.com.

Marriage works when both people are relatively sane and also when there is no way out. They take their vows seriously and hold onto each other through thick and thin.

Marriage doesn’t work when you can get a divorce just because your friend just divorced and you want to be able to support them.

In other words, gay marriage between homosexual men.

There’s a reason why lesbians lead the world in divorces.

Thing is, marriage is a raw deal for men even when it “works”.

Exactly my thoughts when I read this. They want to reassure the lonely women who won’t get their ‘Mr. Right’ and their special day with a fancy white dress (they don’t deserve to wear). They see where things are going so time to reassure them that they’ll be fine in their own. And hey, good luck with that. I do hope women learn to be responsible and save (so they won’t be a burden) and learn to appreciate and find peace and contentment alone. But in my observation men are better at all these things.
