This site confirms I probably won't get married

Been looking for ways to help a buddy out who just found out his wife of two years has been cheating on him. Out of all the topics on this site the most popular (other then general discussion) is overwhelmingly: Coping w/ Infidelity 9,417 threads 313,877 posts Going through a Divorce or Seperation 6,557 threads 129,899 posts I'm a 26 year single male and this forum kind of cements my choice to not get married. There is over a 50% chance your relationship will end in divorce and a somewhat recent study showed that in college educated couples the woman will file for divorce 90% of the time. Yes, 90%. My close friend married his college sweetheart two years ago. Great career (CPA), smart, funny, and just an overall good guy. Long story short she got bored playing house and decided to go out to clubs with her single friends and hook-up with random men. On top of that I just witnessed my best friend's parents go through a divorce not too long ago. They were my next door neighbors growing up and were basically my second set of parents through grade school and college. I've never seen a better couple in my life. Well not too long ago his mother started hanging around her divorced friends. After a few years she decided married life wasn't for her anymore. Now she is going out, getting hammered drunk (she rarely drank prior to this), and hooking up with men my age. All on his father's dime. He's absolutely devastated. It scares the **** out of me someone can change like that. She even admits his father didn't do anything wrong but that she didn't want to waste what "youth" she had left (she's late 40s/early 50s). Wtf. Why are there so many shameless ****s out there now? Is this a phenomenon in the Western world? I've dated around plenty and have had a few long-term relationships. I just don't think I'll ever take the plunge.
