Perfect description of Wife #1, who left me after 23 years, after deciding she hated me, to raise our teenage son alone while she followed her dreams. Wife #2 died last March after a decade of multiple sclerosis, so she couldn’t leave if she wanted to, and wouldn’t have gotten anything out of the prenup anyway. Son, who is now coming up on 40, never married; it is a shame for him, but finding a woman who is truly willing to be a wife (as the Bible put it, a helper equal to him) is impossible in this century, and as much as it pains me to say it, he is wise to be as he is.

Has wife #1 figured out her son didn’t want a wife like her?

I had a strong willed relative who raised a son by herself. (her choice). He moved away, married a woman, had children, and the relative can only see them at a restaurant over a meal once or twice a year.

After watching what a shit-show their mother turned out to be, neither of my two sons will ever get married. Both have said so and both cited her as being the reason why.

They saw what I put up with until the day I put her out the door and couldn't take her nonsense anymore.

Best thing I ever did.

My advice to any young man even thinking about getting married: don't do it.
