I told my 20 year old son. You want a woman, rent one.... It will be cheaper in the long run.
What about STD’s he questioned... Still cheaper than getting married, have a kid, and then she divorces your behind and takes everything you have for the next 18 years...
I think it was Cicero or some other famous Roman from the Republic who advised his son he was better off getting a pretty slave girl than getting married.
Not so true anymore. Slowly, men are being treated equally in family court. I am post divorce; kept my house and my kids live with my full time. Yes, I have to pay alimony, but then again, I have not filed for child support yet either so things will even out soon.
The first married a liberal whacko (serious mental case) who left him after two years for a guy 30 years older than him.
The second, they divorced after they lived together for about seven years and then married for about two. She was having an affair with one of the kids teachers at the school. She then proceeded to trick him out of his equity in the house by having a verbal agreement of some sort about not having to pay any child support until he got his crap back together. Now, a few years later she is suing him for 30K back child support. (the kids are 17 and 14 now). The attorney said she will win. Incidentally, she has spent most of the child support on boob jobs, plastic surgery, trips, etc.
