It’s a great life, if you don’t weaken.

Not all men are so stupid. I have two co-workers (well, one former now) slammed by this system over the past dozen years or so.

They both fought back and won.

The second just a couple months back.

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.

Some of the best money I ever spent on my brother was helping him with a retainer for a divorce attorney.

Doesn’t make him any smarter, though :/

It can happen to you.

It's a bit hazardous to one's health to be an old fashioned guy in the 21st century, to be sure. When my wife filed for divorce I spent a few days worrying about what was going to happen to her. When I saw the "property settlement" agreement she had drawn up with the help of her attorney, such concerns went out the window. From that point on, it was war.

The guy’s first mistake was not taking charge when she gives him the talk and moves out. Get a lawyer immediately, file for divorce, wish her the best, and start dating better women.

I know of a man in my town whose wife filed for divorce. Seemed he wanted her to quit doing drugs for the sake of their 3 year old son.

First court hearing, she didn’t show and he got temporary custody. Second hearing she showed, high as a kite on Crystal Meth.

Man has full custody with supervised visitation for the “mom” only. He was supposed to get child support but she has disappeared and he really doesn’t need the money anyway.

I think it depends on the situation.

My sister is getting a divorce right now from her alcoholic, cheating husband. She was a wonderful wife and mother.

She has the right to the entire house because she has the kids and He left the state to live and work somewhere else.

but she decided to be nice about it and offered to split the proceeds of the house sale 50/50.

he comes back and offers her 30K for a house that is worth 130k.....she counter offers with 40k and HE WON’T GO FOR IT!!!

what an ASS!!!! She could take the whole thing but no, thats not good enough for him! She’s the one with 3 kids to raise on her own and his income hasnt changed at all. She needs to put a new roof over her families head and he expects her to take that kind of screwin????

Men are just as greedy and assholy as women. There is no way that I feel one bit sorry for men in the divorce arena.

sometimes women get screwed big time too!!!!

One of the reasons why I never married was because I haven’t met a woman that I felt I could trust with the “forever” part of the Marriage OATH. (The other reason is that I am forced to live in Seattle and most ‘women’ here are lesbo/Marxist/militant-feminist).

My most sincere condolances go out to all Gents who have done the right and honorable things and have been shafted for their troubles....there are a great many of you, if my experience is any judge. May God Bless You.

Men are this ... women are that ...

In my opinion, not very useful statements. Here's a better: Humans are flawed. We make bad choices. It's our nature.

If people paid more attention to religion, and tried to act the way the Bible says they ought to act, then the amount of heartache in the world would be greatly reduced. There really is no other way to make life better.

But even then, not all the heartache will disappear. Because humans are flawed. We make bad choices. It's our nature.

I’m a woman, and I agree with this guy 100%. Men need to be MEN and defend their castle and fight for their offspring. They also need to be entirely more selective in who they MARRY in the first place.

99% of these women give the 1% of us who are “More Precious Than Rubies” a bad name. (Proverbs 3:15)

I’m glad it didn’t happen to me.

She is the dumbass, and I got the kids, the house and the freedom I gave up for 21 years.

My only regret is not divorcing her sooner.

I read most of this, until I got bored. Men who get married a bunch of times sure have a lot of advice to give, don’t they? Glad I’m not married.

EXCELLENT POST!! I'm going to make copies for men in my social circle, men in my church and men that I encounter who are having marriage problems.
This is a Masterpiece. Thanks.

For a man who is deeply suspicious of what can happen when a marriage ends, he doesn't seem to have learned his own lesson: I did in my second marriage.

"...“Gonzo gave me advice I ignored so he screwed up my life”..."

Ahem ... I did not write this missive, but 25+ years ago I lived it.

Helped a lot in the second mistake I made - I kept everything! ................... FRegards
