[Poll] Why are you paying for escort services?

but perhaps it goes deeper than that. It is more like, to cope with the pain of life (the source of that pain might differ from person to person).

Not sure if others have felt this way, but to me personally, it has become a compulsive behaviour with triggers and all that...I would qualify myself as a sex addict as it feels like it often controls me.

Very much possible. You are not alone. The first step is recognizing you have a problem.

Way cheaper to enjoy hot kinky SP Women then being stuck with one boring wife for 25 years or more!

The main purpose of the marriage is to raise kids. For this 25 years is enough.

Well hopefully there are some happy couples too! I have not lost faith in humanity that much...

couples yes? happy? most of them, after 3-5 years are just living together with not much love.
It has nothing to do with humanity. Rather about sharing the rent... And there is nothing wrong about doing so.
For youngers having kids it makes sens to stay with the same person for around 20 years.
I sometime meet couple in love since over 30 years. But it is a tiny minority, I would guess les than 10%, even less than 5%.

This kind of place is most definitely not representative, and is probably one of the worst places to derive a sense of this kind of thing. It's not for nothing that the guys who are here are here.

Well I know the house is usually paid by the husband! Share?

I may be in the minority here, but I find it strange the Quebecois way of" marriage" and no wonder the kids have mental health problems. Better to stay with your wife even if it means seeing escorts here and there then giving your children a broken home.

I have so many coworkers who leave their relationships for small things even with children that could be easily resolved with therapy. I understand separating for a different forms of abuse, but seriously, one of my co-workers in my civilian job ended his relationship with his wife and two of his kids are so traumatized that they have been institutionalized for suicide attempts when they decided to end their marriage, or " losing the spark" give me a break.

If you actually cared for your kids you would not divorce for stupid reasons, it's not hard to maintain a healthy home for your kids. I don't get the broken home mentality here( multiple baby mamas and daddies, divorced etc, kids with mental health problems because of this etc) while my former home ( Israel ) may be worn torn, divorce rates, having kids outside marriage and drug use is low among the Israelis, Palestinians, Armenians, druze etc. This is something I cannot get over here, and yes I have friends in other provinces and the divorce and separation rates are not nearly as high as in Quebec. It's stupid to assume marriage should be capped at 25 years, if you have kids and it's not for a valid reason, work on it!

Great observation. I don't think anyone has a perfect explanation to this question, but here is my theory, which I think is in fact supported by some sociologists: the Catholic Church had enormous power in Quebec up until the 1970's, encouraging women to have many children, church attendance, morality, etc. After the power of the Church was removed (the Quiet Revolution), we over-compensated in the other direction. Lower marriage rates and church attendance than elsewhere on the continent. The institution of marriage, which many outside Quebec would argue is one of the bedrocks of modern Western society, is less valued here. We end up with a society with more broken homes, looser social ties, and all the problems that come with that.

Then the kids grow up move away and you are left with nothing !
