As an adversarial thinker, I ponder why the absolute hell the legal system is design to make each partner vulnerable to each other rather than empowering them to be independent of each other when need be.
Very scary shit for the way that I think about things lmao
It sort of makes sense if you think about it from the stand point of a time when our society wasn't actually encouraging people to divorce. But it's ponderous indeed in the current social climate. Of course, if you choose to believe the conspiracy theorists, (I do. Don't judge me) this was all done deliberately to weaken the western family structure in order to make everyone more dependent on central authority.

In some places this was expressly stated. Pretty sure the communists had extensive rationales for their creche-society. I mean, you probably heard the saying "give me a child until he is 6 and he is with the church for life" or something like this.

-_- It does not make sense in the context of narcissists, abusers, and other labels we give to horrible people who do horrible things to their children and spouse (both man and woman alike)
So I just think there should be some kind of setup where married people can easily become independent of each other if they need to. People who are abused aren't thinking they need to put up with the abuse to have a roof over their head and food to eat, and even people who just decide they don't like each other anymore can just live in peace.
Only setup I've thought of for this so far, is to have multiple accounts or multiple buckets of money for specific purposes. My money, not my money (give your spouse a paycheck so they have a bucket of spending money and don't make it an unreasonably small paycheck either) and the houses money (joint account)
But that's still not a fully fledged out solution. There's still a lot to be addressed there.
