It can happen to you.
It’s a great life, if you don’t weaken.
They both fought back and won.
The second just a couple months back.
Hemingway wrote novels shorter then this post.
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 :/
Here Here.
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.
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.
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!!!!
By the time the lawyers get done they will all be screwed.
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.
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.
Great post. I have friends who have gone through this.
Of course they do. But the real issue is the way the laws are stacked against men.
The fallacy in your logic is in going from the micro to the macro. Which is generally the case when one relies on anecdotal examples as evidence. Has no bearing on the inequality of the current laws. The fact that your sister is not taking advantage of the biased laws does not negate their inequality. You sister is acting foolish. That's her responsibility.
You have presented some of the best advice I have seen.
The law is anything but moral.
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)
