The thing I don't get is that as men get older their general worth and appeal tend to go up, while women tend not to. Yet today almost every woman pushing 50 or more is well past her prime, too often hate-filled, often grossly fat and out of shape, and yet still think they are hot shit every guy a half or less their age wants a piece of when the guys have made it bluntly clear they want nothing to do with them fo those reasons.

So don't worry about the people not worth your time and focus on finding someone who motivates and pushes you to become better while you do the same to her. build an amazing life out together. make sure each of you never fall out of shape, never lose ambition, and stay strong through the ups and downs.

This is 100% accurate. My parents divorced when I was 11. My life went downhill from there...fast. I sometimes daydream about what life might have been like if they tried just a little bit harder and tried really looking far into the future on the effect it would have on their kids in life. I was a very smart kid, talented in almost everything I touched. Through the pain of abandonment and my foundation being pulled from under me, I started drinking. I became a severe alcoholic to deal with my pain, it's cost me nearly everything valuable in my life. I've gone down some very dark paths I probably would never have walked otherwise. I'm almost 40 now, broke and a criminal with 4 kids. It's very hard to carry on some days. But I always think back to how I might have tuned out or what decisions I would have made differently if I wasn't so consumed by pain and let it consume my life. I wonder...

But unfortunately when we went to Christmas holidays and other vacation to our parents from our hostel school we saw how our parents they fought and abused each other and due to which my father became heavy drunker and because of which we became so insecure and now I'm 32 and not yet married but I have learnt many good things in life I have never touched alcohol because it destroyed our family and I have a more compassion towards others I know how it feels and now this year I will get married but I will make sure my children won't go through what I and my siblings went through since childhood.

Thanks Jordan P. I totally get what you are saying and agree. When we choose to focus on the egoic world, deny ourselves to use the power within, that's the result. It's a bit difficult subject to conclude what's right or not. Why some works not others. The challenge and divorce reasons vary why people got married,, what their expectations and intentions are. Most importantly where they are in life (looking inwardly or outwardly). Inwardly sees beyond behaviors; just love Outwardly sees behaviors & defensiveness, and wasting time on passing and petty things God bless. Thank you. Love you.

This attitude kept me in a very unhealthy dynamic for 24 years. People were warning me left, right, and center, and I remained loyal…. Until I was diagnosed with two incurable conditions that severely impact life-span. I was dying from the inside out, and he kept prioritizing himself. Now that I have left, I am much healthier, physically, mentally, emotionally, and a much better mother to my small children. Their trauma from the separation is minimal, because they have only ever known dysfunction. Now they have two homes, of which one is actually healthy where they can be loved children with healthy boundaries.

I stayed 5 years too long for those same reasons. I married for life. It took an intervention with my family telling me I’m in an abusive relationship before I even entertained the thought of leaving. I don’t feel guilty for not staying anymore. I feel bad for making the wrong choice in who I married. That’s all. Sad for my kids who don’t get a good father and that they don’t have a two parent household. But we are actually better for getting out. I still think taking marriage vows seriously is right, and so is making sure you marry the right person…& if abuse is a part of it, it’s ok to leave because those vows were broken by the abuse.

It's certainly true that you need to be committed and not bail out of marriage at the slightest issue. Yet that doesn't mean that you shouldn't divorce ever. When you realize that your spouse is psychologically harmful for your children, a divorce is the lesser evil for sure. Staying married with a toxic/narcissistic/psychopathic person will ruin your children. And if you do, your children will pay a price so high you cannot even imagine. And your children will always resent you for it.

Stereotypes usually exist for a reason.

I found this to be an exceptional conversation. I wonder though, how would Dr. Peterson view adultery? I was married once, to an only child. We were young and didn't really have much of a concept of the greater world. We had our fights but deceit was always a problem with her. We fought about that more than anything else really. I was brought up to be an honest guy and to view loyalty (to friends, family and in romantic relations) as being fundamental to any kind of partnership. So when she cheated and elected to view the events as non-concerns (which lent me to the belief that she didn't really see adultery as wrong or hurtful and so was likely to repeat the behavior) I made the decision to divorce. She wasn't happy about it but didn't fight it. I think she hoped I would cool down after a while and we would get back together. But after years of fighting over constant deceit (and it would be over anything. She just seemed to enjoy lying even though I would catch her in so many of them) Like, how do you remain committed to someone you can't trust? How do you remain committed to someone who is uncommitted to you? Is that something that should be considered?

Same here, not all marriages should be saved if you are in a toxic relationship. I'm so sad you had to endure this for 20 years. I'm divorced after 10 years to a covert Narcissist. It almost cost me my mental health. I was accomplished and well liked outside the home but could do nothing right at home. You go from being their everything to being their mental punching bag with no closure or explanation. Once you're out be your best version of yourself, it comes easily, they will try and bring you down but go grey rock and show them no emotion.

I agree with him and he does mention exceptions. There are always exceptions! Emotional & physical abuse & addiction issues are the exceptions. But when you look at the OVERALL data, how women fare, especially, after divorce, is rough. Too, Professionally and personally, I have seen wonderful step parent situations, but I have seen more professionally awful step parents. We put kids through too much, too much fighting, too much instability. They need constancy, structure, support, & love. After 42 years of marriage, I did divorce, and I am glad I waited. My 3 children needed our marriage. Even the divorce was hard for them when they were full grown adults. My ex and I are friends and we each have great partners for each other now. Our kids deserve that. When Peterson says, why not spend the time working on the issues, I agree! I would have like to have done that! We did not have the skills or tools to work things out. I am a relationship coach now & mediator and definitely learned big time from all my mistakes. Doing okay now, but needed a lot more therapeutic support at the time to continue the marriage.

My past started out with my fiancee asking me, if I would do anything he told me to do. He wouldn't tell me what he wanted me to do. I was annoyed and disregarded the red flags. I had been raised in control, I honestly don't beat myself up anymore because I realise I didn't have the skills. He ended up, a violent alcoholic, he said if I ever told anyone, he would divorce me and move and get rich by himself. He kept his word. In the long run I felt free, even though I had asked him to get help, so we could get back together. Now I think of that song That don't impress me much. His rich kick!!!! I was traumatized from that relationship and waited 7 years to get close to a man again. The second time was worse than the first. Dr heckler, jeckler, hyde. I was a scared cat. As soon as we got engaged he would throw off the ring, whenever he was mad.He had hidden drug abuse.I was so nieve. It was a train wreck going down hill, on collision course. I didn't learn how to dream, I only knew how to try and survive. Recently, When youtube decided to put songs with my crushes last name, wedding dances and ads for wedding rings and wedding dresses all I did was cry out the most painful tears.

I am married to a serious addict. We have a young child and have been living separately for 3 years because I don't want our child growing up around the chaos or seeing his father like that. I don't know what to do. It's either grow up with an addict father or grow up in a fatherless household. I've tried being supportive without enabling but he says he doesn't want to stop drinking or doing drugs. He says he wants to be a family and be an addict, he won't pick one or the other. No matter what I do it never makes a difference. I am going to be waiting for him to get it together forever but I can't move on anyways. I feel so incredibly alone. Any advice would be appreciated

Of course there are exceptions. But the optimal behavior is to act as if. The attitude you have is what's going to determine your bond. That is what can make the best kind of marriage. Your attitude... to act as if he/she is your long-term partner. Those who don't understand that miss the point of marriage. If "long-term partner" is not your attitude then you shouldn't get married, if you're just gonna bail at any opportunity.

I think (and I was married for 27 yrs in an unhappy marriage that was non-violent physically but violent emotionally), that the present high divorce rate is actually because of unwise parenting. Children are not taught about commitment, perseverance and taking responsibility for decisions. Too much parenting teach children to be selfish, self-gratifying and constantly happy (the "I don't want my kids to go without" syndrome). Added to that, the "no fault" divorce law, just is wrong. But Jordan is absolutely right! Divorce, unless because of physical abuse, just adds to future troubles

Yep, that was my life for 18 years with four kids… until I seriously started working on trying to leave him last January… then he takes it seriously because now he realizes oh I don’t care about the religious rules we put around ourselves that don’t make sense. There is no way that God wants us to stay with somebody who breaks covenant over and over and over again and selfishly desires themselves, and that causes extra work for the other person, neglect and criticism … Finally had it … I almost walked out again a month ago because he still refuses to listen when he hurts me and defends himself actually fix the problem. I have over a decade of unresolved emotional and mental issues with him, and I finally let him have it … I felt bad about it afterwards, but I realized I have to stop trying to bond with somebody who doesn’t want to do that. Now he is trying to be nice, but the only change that happened when I finally came to my wits end. We should not be changing just because the other person is either gonna leave us or go crazy if we don’t … if we are hurting somebody, we should be willing to listen and work through the issue together so we can be stronger… There are more vows made on the wedding day then just sexual Fidelity…. Rita, stop saying that is the only reason to leave. Bible says the man can only divorce his wife over infidelity … it does not specify what the woman can and cannot do…. There is more about that in the Old Testament. I think because women tend to put up with a lot more are generally emotionally weaker but most of the relationship if the man is not acting right towards her… I’m not sure, but it needs to be looked into instead of just ignored as if we have all the answers . People should not have to put up with the most emotional and verbal abuse and neglect, and the majority of the chores where they’re strung out emotionally, tired, and exhausted with no one giving or caring for them.

If both stick to their vows, the 'Saturday-night fights' shouldn't occur. The contemporary Christian view of marriage doesn't really understand the genealogy of the classic vows, to love, honor and cherish, until death do us part. They have their clear origins in Old Testament laws about marriage. When one person breaks their vows (don't think adultery here), the other is free to sever the marriage. By the time divorce actually happens most of the non-sexual vows have been shattered. It really does take two to make it all work. Even with vows that lay in pieces at their feet, two people can still pull it back into shape but that is very rare. Many children are saved from a terrible upbringing because their parent moved on from a bad situation.

Marriage is sacred. If one party is to breakaway from the first storm, marriage won't survive the hurricanes that will come. And they will come. Don't waste time with a partner that will negotiate surrender at every difficulty. But there is a catch. And that's where I disagree with JP. - don't live with constant and continuous disrespect/belittling and a gloating partner. -Cannot partner with a cheater/liar -Cannot partner with a physical abuser. And I don't care if kids are involved. I would rather be homeless, cold and hungry rather than living a life without dignity, honor and self-respect.

I think it depends on the personalities of other people the situation. I agree with both stances. Staying together should be the goal … But some men like my husband, think that means they can do whatever they want and whatever they want because you’re not not going anywhere … so they ignore you and neglect you and act like they already have you so why work on the relationship?. And I stupidly allowed him to have that attitude for far too long because I refuse to leave even if it was a temporary thing… Some men need to know that if they pull certain types of things that you’re not going to stick around and break the covenant and the vows you made on your wedding day. There is more to the marriage covenant and breaking it other than infidelity and abuse … there is neglect and self-centered, selfish self-serving behavior; not providing for your family; He was saying anything in and unhealthy manner to cope with your issues… ALL THESE THINGS ALSO BREAK THE MARRIAGE. Now, if you can bring up those issues and discuss them and work through them , there’s no need to leave… yet if that person is not concerned and fights with you and calls you names and attacks you for bringing up something that is a problem to them… this is an endpoint because you can’t improve the marriage if the other person won’t see where the problems are. The course of action you have after trying to resolve things several times is to put up with it continue hurting and risk being hurt over and over or take a leave of absence with the hope that it’s temporary.
