Ah, but you see, to the feminazi, it's always the man's fault. Wife had an affair? Well you must have driven her into it. Wife left because she was "unhappy"? Your fault, Bub. You didn't support, cuddle, cheerlead, defend, promote or care enough. So what if you worked 60 hour weeks to pay that mortgage and that SUV payment. That's your duty. It's all about punishment and sometimes the avoidance of guilt on their part.
all the networks have turned into, "Lifetime.... television for male-bashing(gay)feminists" anyway.
It is not enough that she has spoiled their minds against him. His son still has not called once in 15 years and he has only recently been reacquainted with his daughter who is 20 years old and in college (which he also pays for)
My own experience is somewhat different...when I left my ex my reasons were very valid (he was continually, physically abusive) and I still never asked for a dime. Nor did I play games with visitation and so on. Today, because of it I think, we share custody of the kids and each do, financially, what we can for them. While I can't stand him, we can be civil because somehow in all that nonsense we had managed to put the kids first.
