No, you got me wrong. I was trying to illustrate just for the purpose of your argument how you could make sure to follow your logical path in relationship selection. That’s why I said that, advocatus diaboli so to speak. I have always believed sex is important.

I get that but you missed the part where I acknowledged marriage as an emotional decision that just needs to be balanced with logic. Not replaced with logic that's impossible.

I recognize the limits of logic. It's almost useless with people, but I can still use it to help guide my reasoning. The insurance example was pure logic in risk assessment. People can understand that yet ignore it, I choose not to.

The divorce insurance sounds like a promising business idea, you should go for it.

It's a horrible idea but that's the point. Insurance base their policies on probability risk accessment. The likleyhood of divorce is too high. I would go bankrupt quickly trying to do that.

If the risk is high the contributions will also be high. Then also you put some limits in the small print that ensure you don’t have to pay everything. There are lots of scared men out there, they will sign whatever lol.

I’m biased towards having BOTH parents present plus I find it a really odd thing to tell your child “ Hey, I paid someone to give birth to you and that woman who is your mother doesn’t really love you but did it only for the money.”

Understandable. But, you aren’t a man, so it isn’t an odd thing for me to tell my offspring.

Lol. Maybe the lawyers can try it. That's not how us analytical guys put our skills to use. That's a court case just begging to happen.

Lol
One thing I believe is that one doesn’t really know what it’s like to have a child until one experiences it. Everything before that is just theory. Also I think the desire of humans to procreate can’t be explained logically because it doesn’t come from that place. It’s more like an instinct and the satisfaction people get out of it is also on a very primal, non-intellectual level.

Apparently it already exists, google says. There’s “ wedlock” in the US and ARAG in Germany and an insurance company in Switzerland as well that offers divorce insurance.

I happen to agree there. Children are individuals. So the assumption that a child is going to find it odd is equally ridiculous as the assumption that a child won’t. So, the reality is that you can never really know for sure as your “experience” is solely a product of your own children.

The same can also be said for knowing what it’s like for a black man in America and the issue of marriage, divorce, custody, etc. but, of course, that hasn’t stopped you from attempting to argue the point. ;)

Therefore, it stands to reason that my opinion is just as relevant or irrelevant.

It can't possibly work in the USA. At least not the way we were discussing it. Insurance companies don't make money by being foolish, and their lawyer's are there as a backup. The work that the actuaries do is how the business functions as a financial institution. Risk vs reward.

What an odd story.

Strange that he would marry her of all people. I Don't feel bad for him at all. That was a huge red flag he ignored. LOL

This is one fate I won't see.

Never fought or cried over a woman, never will.

Hince the allegory of Samson and Deliah. If a man completely gives to emotion, he loses his way.

Cut off from his source of strength he buckles in vulnerability. Unable to cope, his spirit bends or breaks, ending his life or changing him forever.

First world problems

3rd world wives and husbands do dirt as well. Seen it a thousand times. The dirt they do may seem slightly more simple, but, it’s still dirt.

I would think the third world guys would be less likely to eat 45 acp over it.

Depends on the country, some would bury the wife alive, others would stone her to death, in India, he would have to prove wrongdoing to get a divorce meanwhile she could get a divorce by claiming dissatisfaction. It really depends.

The more I learn about India, the more it sounds like a nightmare. Probably the worse place on Earth for a black man.
