Perspective: monogamy is anti-human nature; in this era where each parent could raise a kid independently, marriage tends to be a shackle on many aspects of life. We live once, why does society expect us to live with 1 person for 60+ years? No wonder divorce rates are through the roof!

Have fun raising that kid independently and somehow still finding time to date

My hypothesis is that divorce rates spiked because people were pressured into marrying when they were 19 years old. When divorce became acceptable, all these people that married someone then they were still children realized they didn't have to stick with them forever.

Now that the marriage age is trending upwards and people are more mature and pick a better partner, divorce rates are continuing to drop.

I think marriage is fantastic and I love having a partner that's going to be with me for the long haul. If marriage isn't for you, that's totally fine. Live your life the way that brings you fulfillment.

And I’m some cases, they made the right choice at a young age. My parents celebrated 50 years of marriage this year - married at 18 and 21. They legitimately still deeply love and enjoy each other.

Does it work for every person or every couple, no. But when it does work, it’s incredible.

Thanks for the comments, I don’t really care about getting laid more. Serially monogamous might be a good way to put it. I agree that yes, if the two of you can grow together, that’s great! But what are the odds? Some people get married in their early 20s, and life goes in various directions afterwards, and you may have to turn down opportunities because you are committed. Why do people job hop? Even if you got your dream job, do you want to be in a binding contract that penalize you for leaving? What if your spouse decides, 10 years in, they don’t wanna grow with you anymore? Now you are stuck with a huge marriage contract. I sincerely hope everyone finds their destined one; I’m just saying marriage is a huge contract to get into and potentially unnecessary if the two are meant for each other, especially if you don’t plan to have kids.

I do agree and my husband too

Humans are not meant to be monogamous; full stop. However, if the alternative is open relationships, I’ll just get married 😔

Sounds like someone is afraid of commitment.

How would you respond to this note sent home on my toddler’s daily report from her in-home daycare provider. Mind you she didn’t say anything to me in person about this.

Fishes honest opinion needed.

2. Should we down 15% or just 5% ? Or go for 20% ?

A HR question I really want to understand. ISRS HR quoted a podcast "The not so great resignation" saying 70% regret leaving and many want to go back to old employer. If this really the case the employee likely left due to higher pay at the new company. If they want to boomerang back they will likely come back at even a higher rate than they left the new company for. So getting double raise when they boomeranged. Isn't it unbeneficial, why not just give employee a 7% raise in the first place?

I asked for a raise in April 2022 after three years with my company. Positive feedback since day one. Learned I was making less than peers at other asset managers in NYC with less experience (14 years). Latest conversation was with HR about how they calculate salaries. I’ve been asked to provide examples how my role has changed since I started to justify the increase. Is this normal? Or is this just their way of denying my request?

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state.

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
