"I see, and in your world, women are never to blame, it’s always the men."

There is plenty of blame to go around, but you can't deny some culpability in your selection process when Ms. Wonderful turns out to be Mrs. Cvnt.

"However, I’d guess you’ve never gotten over the guy that treated you like garbage."

Although my parents divorced after a less than ideal marriage I've been happily married to my high school sweetheart for 37 years. She was my best friend before she became my wife. She was a member of my parish. I knew and respected her family, her community, and her values before the relationship advanced. She stuck by my side, and I hers, through a lot. By the way, I'm the father of four and the grandfather of two.

One of my sons is a practicing family law attorney and children's advocate in the local courts and I have seen and heard stories and anecdotes that make your whining seem childish.

You assume a lot while knowing very little about me.

You painted men with a broad brush and now you’re upset because you’ve been called on it.

Men get the shaft under current laws in the US when it comes to divorce.

It’s not whining when I make an observation along with having first hand knowledge of the subject.

Don’t try to start down the “plenty of blame to go around.”

That doesn’t let you off from your original “blame men” screed.

The only child around here is you, because you can’t accept that you’re way off base with your accusations. Instead, you indulge in gratuitous name calling.

Your “plenty of blame to go around” is nothing more than the old moral equivalence canard. “Plenty of blame to go around” does not excuse the way men are currently treated by the courts.

Oh, and by the way, don’t give me that “parish Christian” garbage. The self-proclaimed “Christians” were the first ones to turn their backs on me, even though they knew of my ex’s multiple affairs.

Again, yeah, I made a poor choice, however, if I could see 10 years down the road, I’d be rich, too.

You, sir, are defending the indefensible.

So your kid has a vested interest in the status quo...that explains a lot.

Those are one-sided and unrepresentative, please don't apply them to anyone here.
