> why are men walking away from marriage? men aren't "walking away"; men have to be enticed into marriage in the first place and any incentives for that have long disappeared, though inertia has kept it alive longer than expected. > i feel like every woman i talk to hopes to be a wife someday in some very abstract sense. they think that a "wife" is higher status that whatever they are now, so they want the word to apply to them, but they want to be involved in the actual thing called "marriage" as much as men do (i.e not at all).
