Yeah, but to go bitter against marriage and either wind up living in mommy’s basement when they are 40 or decide to go gay is not the answer.

These “Fathers Rights” types really need to take a long hard look at how they screwed up. They need to look in the mirror to see why the marriage failed.

I’m not saying that all marriages fail because the husband was a no good bum.

But still... if he married a “bride-zilla” type of girl; a girl he met in a bar; a girl.... well you know what I mean.... then she leaves him, takes the kids and takes him to the cleaners in divorce court..... then I still feel zero sympathy for him.

Men need to take responsibility 1st.

Whoa man. Those aren't the only two options, especially with todays women who are more than happy to give the milk away for free.

If the wife is truly bad, tape your phone calls with her if its legal in your state and then present her a copy letting her know you will be taking her back to court. Make a real effort to get your kids and don't give up.

I have a good friend who did just this and he now has custody and gets child support.

Men just need to fight with good lawyers and stay cool.

there's a lot of room between the two alternatives you state.

there's more than one happy bachelor in this world.

I know several men who simply decided not to marry. None are living in their moms' basements, nor do they find any shortage of female companionship

For young men today, the cost of marriage is too high (in terms of the risk of future financial and personal disaster) and the benefits are low (they can get most of the benefits of marriage without marriage)

Anybody wants to fix it, needs to make it much less profitable for women to divorce

Yeah, this article is a bit over the top and whiny. Life is all about risk and nothing about it is fair. If you don’t want to live, then shut yourself up in your house and do nothing.

I love and trust my wife..but that is almost irrelevant, as there is nothing she or the legal system could do to me that would be worth forsaking the existence of our daughter. She alone is worth it.

Shaming language alert!

Let's see, get *ss raped in divorce court or stay single and get called a queer momma's boy.

That's a tough one.

Wow, so those are the only 2 options left for men, if you decide not to marry? Oh, no!!!! I guess I'll have to "go gay," since my mother's dead, and her house sold off long ago!

No, but living single certainly is a viable answer.
