Just wanted to share something different about marriage and divorce in different regions from the US/Europe.
Let's look at many third world countries and Asian countries. Their divorce rates are lower compared to the west (which is about 50%). Here are the possible reasons:
1. Patriarchy. Patriarchy is labeled to be a negative word, I believed that's how the westerners perceived it. Actually patriarchy civilizations are stronger civilizations as compared to a feminist civilization. I have never heard of a feminist civilization before, probably because they never lasted? Probably Rome is one of them? When males take charge of the households expenses, and the wives take care of the housework and the kids at home, it forms a better society. Asian kids tend to listen to their parents more and they fear their parents compared to the western kids. Most will talk to their parents respectfully and will never call their parents by their names. The moms will teach the kids to love the fathers and respect their fathers. Some feminists will teach their children to hate their fathers.
2. Feminism. The media and certain parties are pushing feminism in the west and it is spreading to other regions. It has also affected some city women and men in Asian/3rd world countries. However, it is not as widespread as the west. Women in Asian countries do not scream for equality, abortion rights, etc. Women think from their emotions. Today they might love you but tomorrow it is not yet certain. Their emotions fluctuate very quickly and they do not know what they actually wanted. With the current women empowerment movement, they are more likely to file for a divorce whenever they see fit.
3. Alimony. Wives in most Asian/3rd world countries are not entitled to half of the husband's equity. So, there's no incentive for the wife to divorce the husband. Unlike the west, the wives would divorce the husband to get half of his properties and spend on her 'promiscuous' lifestyle.
4. Marriage is a scared thing, not a contract. Asians see marriage as a sacred thing and it should not be broken. Your family and your partner is a partner for life. Of course unless things get really messy then there's no other choice than a divorce.
The internet and social media is a double edged sword. Sadly, these leftist/feminist values have been brought to the Asian/3rd world countries and have poisoned the younger generations. They are brainwashed.
Someone has to do something to revert the society back to their traditional values, by not oppressing women. Feminism and women empowerment movements have done more damage than good to family institutions.
Good for you!! Don't worry all your ex got was stock money which she will one day spend on those Madoff schemes and lose every penny of it. LOL What you have is a perpetuity really because you know how to trade and you can always make more out of what you have.
