I just wanted to know the statistics - someone told me that most marriages (70% plus) fail within a year and the rest fail in about 5 years and only 10 % marriage stay "OK" - but even in that most guys are very unhappy.

On YA Weddings most probably don't last through the reception.

Most men don't fear marriage.....as long as if thats we want and if we're ready for it. The real problem is that men sometimes get pressured into marriage rather its from their partners, family, or peers. The pressure that women face about settling down early and having a family somehow projects onto men as if we have to do the same. And even if a man is in a good relationship, it can be ruined if he isn't ready to "take the next step" and his partner eventually leaves him. Divorce, in ways, also has to do with it but it goes back to men wanting to get married versus feeling obligated or pressured to get married. No man wants to enter a marriage he is not ready for and then it goes downhill which leads to divorce and all the problems that follow it.

You really gonna trust a bunch of clowns who are goofing off on the internet at 430 in the morning to answer that for you?
Actually, those stats look about right for marriages that do fail. In other words, of the marriages that end in the two splitting up, around half break up within the first two years, and about 90% in five or less; only about 10% of divorces are between couples who have been together for more than 5 years.
In truth, about half of all marriages end in divorce, but that also factors for individual marriages for those people who remarry five or six times (you know one of those people, don't deny it!). Realistically, people get it right most of the time.

Usually within the first couple of years. This is because couples don't get to know one another. They jump in the sack too quickly and judge their relationship on good sex and not learning more about the other person. They don't discuss finances, or working together and so on.
A good book for anyone to read even if you are not getting married is:

Most marriages that are going to fail, do so within the first couple of years. Most that go beyond that, both people are unhappy, not just the man.

About 10 of my friends have gotten married. 2 of those became divorced. Both lasted about a year and a half. In both instances the brides left the groom because he was cheating or "not ready to be married." A lot of times women leave a man after a long relationship because he's not ready to get married. They then marry the next guy who comes along, not long after. This always ends in divorce.

The majority of divorces happen within the first 5 years of the relationship.

I have read they did a study and found out that liars and cheats have a different brain than the rest of us. They have more white brain matter as opposed to gray. They are more wired to lie & cheat.
Does your man lie? Does he think cheating is funny and approves of someone who is doing it? There are subtle signs to watch for.
Stats on marriage? I think it is 50-50 now. (not sure)
