Yes, with the key word In there being "if", since I don't know what happened in their marriage and break up. I also wrote this:

"In all truth, the woman might be better off without him if he's the type that goes to this extreme"

For whatever reason you seem to wish to argue about this from the position it's all his fault as though you know the couple. If you do, then please enlighten the rest of us on the full circumstances and remove all doubt from our minds to the degree you seem to posess.
You are extremely sensitive on this and if the story touched an unpleasant nerve or personal memory for you, then I am sorry.

Exactly. Further, in the US if this occurred:
1. She should get a TRO
2. The court would go after him for not following judgements.
3. He probably just lost custody of any kids he had, with at best limited and supervised visitation.

This is the behavior of someone who is dangerous and off his rocker.

If destroyed before that it was their mutual property and, as the guy destroyed it, he should be forced to compensate his soon to be former spouse.


Again, why? She quite literally got half of everything. She got half the TV and half the radio: as opposed to her getting the TV and he gets the radio. This is the most literal breakdown of "she gets half my stuff". Honestly, it's like some of you guys have no sense of humor or respect for this man's literalness. He's essentially the real life Drax the Destroyer.


You don't really understand the concept of community property or court ordered division of assets do you boy? He has destroyed the value of the property.
Are you being intentionally obtuse?

1. recent surveys/studies show that divorce rates are down (in the US at least)... so if we assume that the "til death do we part" thing is more literal than ever... yeah, 100% of marriages are not going to end well, because someone inevitably dies. I have read articles suggesting that in other parts of the world, such as Germany, divorce rates are down but at the same time, marriage rates have plummeted as they don't have as much reason to do so.

2. In the US tax system, there are plenty of reasons to be officially married, otherwise SS couples wouldn't be fighting so hard for recognition as being married.


I would say that many of the couples who get married today, do so for the right reasons, as opposed to "family pressured us to 'settle down' and get married". I suspect it was actually the religious older generation of family members that caused some folks to get married due to it being the "norm". Now, I think that many people are getting married because they WANT to, not because grandma wants "pure" grandchildren.

I've never argued from the position that the divorce was entirely his fault, I merely contended that he might be partially at fault. As in any romantic breakup blame can usually be laid at the feet of both individuals. However his actions during that breakup were incredibly stupid and only garnered support for misogynistic reasons.

I dislike reflexive misogyny and dislike it even more when it is displayed in cultural groups that are historically hostile towards women. Dakka is very good at being accepting, but gaming culture is still very much a man's world.

If two people are planning on raising children together and buying a house etc, then it kind of makes sense to make a commitment to each other that you will put in a whole lot of work to make this work - when you've got two kids under 5 and a mortgage you don't want your partner bailing just because you've had a tough month. And once you’re making that commitment, and you add in the romance factor, then for a lot of people it makes sense to make that commitment publically, declaring it in front of your friends and family.

That doesn't mean it works out everytime, of course. But the rate of success is actually improving, and arguably never actually dropped (some interesting work has shown that divorce rates were fairly constant throughout the 20th century, once you factor in people living longer and therefore having longer to get divorced).

IIRC, there was a bit of a "spike" in the US divorce rate from about 2003-2009 or so... coincidentally, that was at the height of the US being engaged in a multiple front "war". I do know, from my time in the military, by way of ridiculous and waste-of-time training, that the military is well above US national average for divorce rates, but they were seeing that rate improve a bit around 2011-2012 time frame.

Interesting, I can see how overseas deployment would play a role. How many troops did the US have overseas at its peak deployment?

Another factor is that those were also more prosperous years (not great, but better than the recessions bookending that period). Divorce rates are reasonably closely tied to economic prosperity, but not in the way people think - while poor finances can lead to individual marriage breakdowns, in general divorce is actually higher when the economy is doing well. Basically if things are going well and people feel financially secure they're more likely to feel comfortable that they can get by on a single income.

“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

The dude just seems like a genuinely pissed off guy that's hurt after being cheated on by both his wife and a colleague. I'm certain he now hates a certain woman, but that's it.

Hell, his solution for his anger isn't even hurting anyone, so kudos for that.

Did they, in this example you are talking of, couple that with destroying half of his stuff so that when he comes home everything of value is broken, with half of that broken stuff sold and it all over social media and the internet? Because if not, then relevance is an issue...
