The worst imaginable scenario there is for a man is if the wife just decides she likes someone or something else better and wants to leave. She gets to take everything and go for no real reason, just because she wants it that way. Leave the man childless and homeless and stuck with alimony and child support. I know a woman that did that to her husband.

I would lose my mind if that happened to me.

I would have a tough time with that one too!

Often though, the male climbs the ladder, has the wife raise the kiddies and then trades her in for a “trophy wife”. There she is ... middle aged and less attractive with kids grown. She gave up her life for him and the kids. So for either side of the fence there is a tragedy.

NO ONE WINS with divorce.

I’ve yet to meet a couple that says,

“I don’t want this marriage to last.”

What’s worse is they typically re-marry the same PROBELEM they divorced. They REFUSE to admit they shared in what went wrong. Pride is a terrible thing.

But that is so common it is almost the norm. These days, a man who marries without preparing himself for that outcome is a fool.

As for the "why husbands kill their wives" question, my only contribution is to say that some women don't know how dangerous it is to keep pushing a furious man, and some men don't know when they should walk away, cool down, check into a hotel, and call a divorce attorney in the morning. For either party, when the anger reaches a certain level, (1) STOP TALKING and (2) WALK AWAY.
