Family court, alimony, child support, paternity, the list of broken systems goes on. Essentially, if you're male in the US the disincentives around getting married are strong and real. Even cohabitating has serious risks associated with it.
The pew research didn't mention any of these issues. It's almost as if they think marriage/partnering is a solution. I saw wording multiple times almost suggesting that.
I'm not surprised people aren't partnering. Its a mess. The system is broken.
Those who disagreed with my comment very obviously haven't had to counsel men going through family court. Multiple relatives have needed assistance to do so. Family court and everything around divorce is entirely made more difficult than it ever should be. Broken is an understatement.
