Sounds like someone has the “red eye” left over from an unfavorable family court proceeding...
My wife of 6 years decided she no longer wanted to be married. I thank GOD we didn’t have children. That was 14 years ago and I have not remarried and I have no regrets whatsoever.
Exactly. They need to quit acting like a bunch of victims. It takes two to end a marriage.
Marriages last because both partners are investing in it. If one stops investing in a marriage the other reacts to that and a marriage collapses. I’m no marriage expert but my husband invests in our marriage all the time. And when he invests in our marriage I invest right back. And it keeps us both in love with each other, faithful, and best of friends.
I think the NOW Hags have had a LARGE hand in this. Let’s place the blame where it belongs. The Democrats and the NOW Hags.
Not that anyone could’ve kept me pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen, but they sold millions of women a “Bill of Goods” that did nothing to advance a womans role in society other than set us up as workhorses and second-income earners at the expense of our kids. It did nothing but remove our spines and we’ve ended up with two generations now of fatherless kids and screwed up families.
I speak from experience. Mom left us when she was 40, to “find herself.” Yep. She “found herself” in the arms of another man.
Add me to the “Bitter Daughter’s Club,” and in my generation (1960-present), we are legion.
Divorced men who have been royally ripped off by so called "family courts".
I've been there, and looking back on it, I was lucky to get off as lightly as I did. Nowadays, I advise my young nephews (and nieces) not to think of marriage until they are in their late twenties/early thirties.
Feminism destroyed marriage and the family, as many conservatives predicted.
I have a friend in her late 50s who ended up with an income of $20,000/year, while her millionaire husband owns several homes, flies around the world on luxury business trips, and buys cars for his less-well-off relatives. I also know my brother, whose wife repeatedly cheated on him. He took parenting classes, and was able to demonstrate to court mediators that he was the one who got the kids up and off to school, cooked their meals, helped them with their homework, and put them to bed. He got primary custody--and this was in California.
Divorce is terrible for most people, I think, and for nearly all children.
I went through all this and it’s very accurate. Lucky for my kids they were all teens. I don’t know what happens to people that can make them turn on the ones they love but it happens all the time. My Ex did everything she could to ruin me and although my world was falling apart around me, I still had the love of my kids. I still demanded them show respect to their mother. They knew what was happening and through their love of me it made it bearable. I told my kids that because I had them, I would do it all over again.
Funny, I came to the same conclusion as Dr. Baskerville except I’m still married to my first wife of twenty years, and am in the process of adopting our first child.
I believe what you’re doing is called “blaming the victim.”
Cynical?
Sure. But look at the replies on this thread from those “bitter bachelors”.
I have 3 brothers who are members. And the stories they tell!
When one goes to court to complain they are being denied visitation, what does the judge do?
Why, she tells the mom to cooperate, but then - on a motion filed by the ex wife - she promptly raises his monthly child support payment.
Moral: Men are screwed each and every time they step into “family court”.
No more so than they are in danger of turning to bestiality.
” Not all women are so cold and calculating. “
Enough are to make marriage a risky endeavor — and those that aren’t can get lawyers that most emphatically are...
There’s the old joke about the fellow who finally got that marriage thing figured out — every five years he finds a woman he can’t stand and buys her a house.....
I have a better idea: marry women of character. If one remains paranoid, then make sure to stash away several tens of thousands of dollars in cash somewhere unbeknown to your spouse “in case”.
Sharria Law for Estrogen-Americans.
I agree with all he says. I advise my young troops: don't do it, you'll regret it to your dying day.
You posted my thoughts-
get involved in a good, TRADITIONAL Christian church, preferably a large one.
Be a good, traditional MAN. And find a good, traditional WOMAN.
Have no doubt, the secular socialists, acting as Satan’s direct tools, know that marriage is the basis of civilization, and they DO seek to destroy marriage AND traditional civilization.
People marry for all the wrong reasons. When I was a youngster, there was societal pressure to marry. I remember my mother telling me how lonely I was going to be if I didn’t marry. And that was pretty much the common theme back then. Marriage is a good thing, of course, but there are some people who simply should not marry. I’m one of them. I’m happy that I didn’t marry or have children. It’s just that I know I would not make a good wife or mother. A good marriage and successfully raising a family takes hard work, commitment and sacrifice. I know I don’t have what it takes, so why add to the statistics?
I've got half of that - the good children - and I do Thank God every day!
