I know a few guys that have been burned bad by marriage and are advising to get a prenup to anyone who does get married. One friend had to move back with his folks because the alimoney and child support made it impossible to afford a place on his own. And the ex-wife cohabitated with a guy with a relatively high salary so she was doing very well for herself. Too many American women are taught that they can get $$$ from a guy for having his kids and walking away from him. Not too many women are like that, but enough to make the average guy nervous about getting married.
Any man who is/was not nervous about getting married in some way is lying. But if the man is worried about what happens if she splits with him, he shouldn't be getting married in the first place.

Ahhh...the sexual revolution, wasn't it fruitful?
