He doesn’t deserve this. She lied. All true. Just as true as the pedestrian who walks out in front of the speeding truck because they have the “walk” light.

Work on your metaphors.

Don’t be so beepin’ petty. This is not an entry in a contest for best essay style. This is a don’t-be-stupid-men plea. It’s one of the fittest I’ve seen on FR. Incidentally, I heard from one father’s rights attorney on a talk show that much of his business is secured by females — relatives of the stupid man being hosed. Not stupid for being hosed, but stupid for thinking they can romance or sweet talk their way out of the difficulty.

Let me add another caveat that the OP did not: Do not have sex till you’re married.

It is an analogy not a metaphor. A metaphor is like "Drowning in Money". An anology is a comparison based on resemblence. The analogy he used is very sufficient though a bit hyperbolic but most analogies are.

The guy in story was innocent, the pedestrian was innocent

The guy in story was ran over by his wife emotionally and financially, the pedestrian was ran over literally
