Of course affluent people still get married. Western females are selfish parasites. After years of whoring it up with omega scumbags a female will realize her looks are about to expire and her womb is growing cobwebs and so will look around for a rich, week willed man she can con into marriage and sponge off. Probably most of the females in your neighborhood are fucking dirtbags on the side whenever they get the chance and withholding intimacy from their husbands. If it became financially beneficial for them to divorce hubby, most would probably do so in a heartbeat, drive hubby to jail, bankruptcy and suicide if that would advance their cause and think nothing more of it than putting a dollar in a coke machine.

I'll try to respond to what is within the realm of addressing with logic, but some things that you've said seem like they're neither provable nor disprovable.

In my experience, both the men and the women that I know prolong marriage by personal preference.  Most of the time these couples have been together, dating each other monogamously for several years proceeding the time they decide to get married or to start a family without getting married. I have been given no reason to think that these men would rather partner off earlier rather than also in their thirties because before they have found someone they are also in all likelihood also exploring life to determine what they want in a partner.

I don't know who is fucking whom on the side. I have no reason to assume that the women are 'fucking dirtbags' on the side with any greater frequency than the men are fucking other women on the side. I have some reason to believe that the women are not withholding intimacy from their husbands, however, because some women choose to share with me information about their sex life with their partners.

I find it difficult to agree with your premise that the women I know would leave their husbands if better financial opportunities came up for them, because they are, in general, self-sufficient and therefore not reliant upon their husband's income in order to sustain themselves. The marriages I see personally are based on mutual friendship and shared interests between equals. What leads to divorce in these cases is more often than not one party changing over time such that they no longer share those things that brought them together in the first place.

Now, I will say that the above paragraphs are anecdotal. It's from my expeience, and the data is all qualitative.  I do know that there exist data to suggest that men and women cheat on their committed partners at roughly the same frequency.  This was the first thing that came up when I Googled around, so I haven't vetted the information, but it holds with other studies that I've seen.

I'm pretty sure that I've also read studies suggesting that women who are able to support themselves comfortably are more likely to be party to uncontested and thus mutually agreed upon divorces, suggesting, to me at least, that the majority of reasons for divorce in a hedonistic model of marriage are probably not because the woman believes that her financial prospects are better elsewhere
