I have never lived through anything like this, and I'm sure that I don't understand it fully, but I don't have any difficulty seeing the injustice--nobody does, who wants to see it.

who wants to see it.

Oh believe me, there are millions who want to see it. Vengeful ex-wives, lawyers employed in the divorce industry and feminist (and feminized male) judges and activists.

I know a case where the bride's mother said at the wedding, "You can always live with us if it doesn't work out." The husband came home from a trip with a basement full of water, no wife and kids (two). She left him. And there were no significant problems. They had plenty of money and a great future at a very good company.

In another case, the groom's mother suggested that another couple break up (don't you love her need to run the whole world?). Her son (the groom) slugged his wife, who jailed him and left with their baby. He lived with any older woman and now is married. His step-son is almost his age.

A lot of in-laws are monsters dedicated to wrecking marriages. Why, I don't know.

Also, our society's dedication to promiscuity has ruined the concept of marriage. Ever hear a honeymoon joke now? Never, because most couples live together for years before they marry. And the couples often do not take a honeymoon because there is no reason for it.

I think the movement to make sure everyone has multiple partners before marriage has eliminated any sense of bonding. The WWII generation married for life, almost to a person. Now people are impressed if someone makes it past 20 years of marriage.

I don't blame the women alone. Perhaps they do file at a 2 to 1 ratio. But what does that prove by itself? Men are still filing for divorce at a high rate. Plenty of older and well established men have left their wives and children so they can marry their young girlfriends. What has that done to a generation of embittered children? I doubt they are as "sophisticated" and "understanding" as people imagine.
