Some quick stats on marriage in a cynical thread:
1) Only 40% of marriages end in divorce these days.
2) Divorced people are much more likely to divorce multiple times, so first marriage success rate is closer to 75%.
3) In job cross splits, software developers have much lower divorce rates than the general pop.
As an unmarried HN reader, you probably have a an 80% chance of lifelong marriage.
- 01100011 8y agoJust anecdotal evidence, but during my divorce 2 other SW engineers I know also got divorced and another one asked me for advice on how to get it started. I know lots of SW guys with stories of horrible divorces and insane legal bills which took decades to pay off. Maybe it's because I'm in Southern California where the divorce rate is something like 75%.
