And I've also overheard a number of wimin bragging about their divorces (Something that I've never heard a man do, BTW), how much they got, how long they can make him suffer, and why don't you get a divorce girl? You can have your own house, a steady leisure income, and as many boyfriends as you want...

I'll stick in my $02 here:

Myself, I'm a guy who has been happily married for 31 years; we have no kids.

However, I did have a business partner for several years who liked to brag about how awful her ex was and how she was constantly screwing him over in court. To give you an idea of the level of pettiness I saw; she was suing him over back child support issues long after both their children were over 18 and I specifically remember one instance where they were taking up the court's time arguing over a difference in some old payment or other that totaled $11.42.

Incredulous, I pulled out a ten and 2 ones from my wallet and waved them at her and said, here, take it and keep the change - while you are taking up the court's time on this there are people waiting who desperately need real justice. Her response was a 20-minute tirade. I've never forgotten it.

On the other hand, there is the case of my sister, whose husband walked out on her out of the blue with no good reason, leaving her and her three children to make their own way. Her husband never bothered to visit or take an interest in their children, and cut off each child's support on their 18th birthday - prorated down to the very day. He is rather well off, yet refused to help pay for college for his own children. It took my sister 10 years to get back on her feet. Believe me, jerks come in both sexes.
