Many women want to decide the direction of the ship while holding men responsible for anything going wrong with the ship.
Why are your complaints about men allegedly valid and the complaints of men allegedly not valid?
What is the difference?
You seem to reject the prospect of the father raising them after the marriage ends.
The men you reference need to insist on premarital contracts.
If writing child support checks and only spending a couples of weekends a month parenting was the preferable path, women would pursue it for themselves.
I pity your husband, henpecked and all.
BTW, those who make "plenty of money" don't brag about it.
OMG!!!!
No, really. You have GOT to stop!
I don’t know which is more hysterical, your obvious lack of intellectual depth (if HIS irritation was caused by “hitting a nerve,” what caused YOUR irritation?), or the asinine, glass-jawed, aphorisms you people spout like a broken gumball machine to protect your self-image (like a child hiding behind their own hands).
THIS is why I say the only difference between liberal and conservative women is their politics. When aggravated, you both revert to tactics you learned in grade school to punish OTHER girls.
What makes this so sad and pathetic is that once you’ve “grown up,” the only men it still works on are the ones with which you have emotional attachments. Which further means it’s only effective with men you’re in a position to stab in the back.
There's the asinine aphorism thing, again!
While your creative thinking is nothing to write home about, I suppose you should get points for consistency.
Exactly how does that work...losing an "argument" by using a certain word?
I understand that when you can make another woman upset, you've pierced her defenses, but with a man it's different. We don't slink off to lick our wounded self-image. When you make a man mad it's not the end of hostilities, it's the beginning!
The notion that you "won" and argument by pissing him off is utterly incomprehensible to a man, and box-o-rocks stupid for a woman.
The "B" word is an expression of contempt and disdain for a man. It means you have exhibited those traits common to women of poor character and shallow reasoning. It means you will no longer be taken seriously.
It’s just a guess, but you’re still hearing the phrase, “You’re not from around here, are ya?” quite a bit, aren’t you?
My attitude comes from experience and observation. Some ask me why I’m not angry with my ex but I am angry with the government. The reason is simple and twofold:
1. We all do bad things to others from time to time. We are all “disobedient children on the play ground”. And a woman that just wants to not be married any more is kinda like a pre-teen that thinks they want a sex change. That is, it’s dangerous and stupid, but when the government empowers their decision, the government becomes the problem. Which leads to number 2;
2. She clearly regrets it and it has just made her a bitter man hater. If she had stayed in the marriage her life would be better now by at least a couple orders of magnitude. I completely forgave her a long time ago, but she has become a dangerous person to me and our daughters.
As long as the government is empowering women to self destruct - and destroy their families - by putting the full power of the government and the government’s gun behind it, it is foolish for a man to marry a woman in the US. The odds of even the “right girl” having feelings of dissatisfaction in a marriage are ridiculously high. And when the kids reach their teenage years (that’s where ours were when she did this), the stress can be strong, and the temptation to just “get out” can be as well.
No-fault divorce makes getting married, for a man, one of the highest risk endeavors on the planet. Even a Christian man. Would you buy a $50,000 car with a one year warranty if the odds of it totally breaking down in 18 months was 40%? This is something along those lines. And, sadly, you don’t have a clue in the beginning if you got a bad one or not.
I will say this: My current wife and I were both 43 when we met. We knew what we were getting and it proved spot on. At 20, fuggetaboutit. It’s a complete crap shoot.
I'm sure that's exactly how you handle it when someone stabs you in the back.
Yeah, right.
You can't even carry on an online discussion without reaching into your bag of spite.
I love how all you bobble-head dolls can diagnose men's problems by dismissing EVERYTHING those men have to say, and insulting them for saying it!
Why, one might get the idea the ONLY men you'll listen to are those with their noses firmly planted in your bums.
And women "OWNING" all their decisions? Even you can't be that self deluded. Women evading responsibility for their actions is trait reaching all the way back to antiquity!
Dude.
That was sublime.
NO, I do not reject the father raising their children, because sometimes he is the one most qualified. Circumstances should dictate who has custody, and I would prefer both have custody, if possible. Ideally, the parents would parent together as one, and stay married.
I think if you read ALL MY COMMENTS, you will find that I don’t agree with liberal women, or men telling their sons to never marry, it isn’t worth it! God says sex without marriage is sin, so who wants to send you children in ungodly lifestyle, that may affect their eternity?
One poster upset me and I unloaded on him, and joked with a few women, who also were attacked viciously. We are human, however, we need to keep the goal in mind..”well raised children, who aren’t permanently damaged by angry parents.”
In order to be brief, I tried to keep answers to the subject matter....NOT that the women bashers cared what I really thought!
Do you know that some men quit working after a divorce? I know of two men who did just that. Both had earned very high incomes. One was a surgeon at a well known medical center. He abruptly retired. The other went back to school to become a minister.
What you really thought was obvious from your presentation.
What you have to say now is just “saving face.”
And if you thought you were “viciously attacked,” you really ARE a snowflake. Or dare I say: crybaby.
So what’s your point?
So you’ve given up the fight? Life’s never been easy around here but none of our ancestors ever just gave up. So please, feel free to advise our young of the dangers you see in the world, but DON’T advise them to give up - that’s just not the way people around here do things.
However, I very much adhere to the serenity prayer and apply it accordingly in this case. The bible tells us what to do when an unbelieving spouse leaves.
The fight for a male is to hide all of their assets from day one, just in case. But you can see the problem that creates. The challenge is not crazy women. The challenge is a system that empowers them. My ultimate solution is to grow old and not have anything worth taking. Spend your money as it comes in.
