Wow, this article really hits home. I’ve seen so many good men—hardworking, loyal guys—get absolutely wrecked by divorce. Like your friend, they tried to do everything “right,” but it didn’t matter in the end. The system’s stacked against them, and the stats don’t lie: most divorces are filed by women, especially educated ones. That’s not misogyny—it’s just the uncomfortable truth.
I never really thought about how much marriage has changed until reading this. Back then, it wasn’t about lovey-dovey feelings but survival, legacy, and stability. Now? It’s a legal gamble where men lose half their stuff and often their kids. And you’re right—monogamy wasn’t even the norm for most of history. The whole “soulmate” idea? Pretty modern… and pretty flawed.
Your solution—contract-based unions, clear expectations, and yeah, even polygyny—might sound extreme, but let’s be honest: what we’re doing now *isn’t working*. Families are crumbling, kids grow up without fathers, and everyone’s miserable. Maybe we don’t have to go full biblical patriarchy, but we’ve gotta admit modern marriage is broken.
Anyway, brutal but necessary read. Makes me think twice before ever signing a marriage license.
