It looks like guys are smartening up.
Marriage has been turned into a one-way contract written against the interests of men, and to enable women to totally screw them out of their hard-earned financial assets.

Why any guy would sign such a contract these days mystifies me.

According to standard wisdom among social scientists, he does it for sex.

Marriage is not the problem, divorce laws are.

Sure enough, many women will try to take every material thing she can get her hands on. When my husband (who I'd been with for fifteen years) decided I was "no fun" and left me to be with a gal (three time divorcee, but "fun") he'd met at a bar, I didn't drag out the divorce or fight for his money.

MANY people thought I was crazy, including most of my family members. However, material things and money aren't that important to me. I don't need to depend on an ex to support me. I didn't even fight over custody and child support. I agreed to joint custody and no support. I felt that it was more important for my children to see their father as often as possible, than for me to fight for custody and the $$$ it would get me.

I still think he is an idiot, but he loves his kids and would do anything for them. I don't regret the decisions I made.

Therefore, I respectfully disagree with you. Not all women are interested in screwing the man, even when the man has done something awful and hurtful.
