The problem with getting divorced - Jordan Peterson

there's some additional problems with

divorce that people don't really grasp

when they're young like the idea that

you can be divorced once you have

children that's kind of a stupid idea

because you can't

you can find

a limited

substitute for your initial freedom but

if you have kids and you try to get

divorced the probability that that's

going to demolish your life is very very

high

first of all it's incredibly expensive

so one or both of you is going to come

out of that poor and your market value

has declined let's say you're the woman

who takes the kids your market value has

declined radically you're going to be

poorer

the man he's just as screwed

because he is now an indentured servant

and there's no escape from it so it's

not so bad if you can negotiate a

peaceful separation and some people can

but lots of times if you have a terrible

relationship it's not like negotiating a

peaceful separation is all that easy but

if you're at each other's throats

good luck to you it is not pleasant
