The two I referenced aren't really back together per se, but still live apart and still go 10 up and 10 down quite frequently.

I kind of have a theory that so many marriages fail these days because now a days men and women don't have expected roles anymore. Seems like old school marriages seemed to be more successful. Idk was it because men were men and women were women and there was just an understanding? Now it seems to be a power struggle where women are now empowered and they want equality yet they still want you to be the "man" in the relationship.
For example I see a lot of this. Guy makes more money, provides more, state of living conditions would be grossly worse if it weren't for him but you see this "got to run it by the wife" stuff or you now "happy wife, happy life" stuff. Guy can't feel like he can just do what he wants without checking in first. Woman get used to this, has false entitlement of things she never really provided. Kids come, guy provides and takes care of kids too, splits children duties. Idk just thoughts and you could see why this would drive a man insane and lead to resentment and divorce. I know these situations vary but at some point I think a lot of guys get tired of doing more and getting their balls busted and implode. |

Google "marriage as a horse race".

The OP is too vague for me to advise properly.
There are dynamics that can make marriage a terrible idea and should lead to counseling or completely breaking off the relationship. If the dynamics are good, then marriage is absolutely a fantastic thing. It takes work, but the payoff in terms of satisfaction is totally worth it. But again, you have to know the specifics to get good advice. |

I got married at 26 to a woman I dated for 5 years. Ended up in divorce in 2000. Got married again after dating the same girl for 2 years. Second marriage is now 11 years and two kids later.
After having been married twice, there will not be a 3rd. No way. No how. **** no. I'd become a hermit. |

The question is how does the couple hold themselves out? Do they file taxes together (pretty much a slam-dunk if yes). Do they introduce each other as spouses, or as partners? It becomes a fact-specific inquiry. Once the dust settles, the real issue is whether they have portrayed themselves as married, or just as partners. My next door neighbor is a lawyer, too, and I noticed when he introduced his live-in partner of many years that he was sure to say "this is my partner."

If you're statistically minded, 100% of divorces are caused by marriage
