Very simple solution to this one. Don't marry anyone, and don't fool around.

Sadly, that may be the only solution. When men are considered merely "sperm donors",
then perhaps men should avoid creating children and allow the women to select anonymous
sperm donors. At least then, there would be no question of responsibility, it would be 100%
the woman's. What troubles me the most is we all have an inherent desire to love and be loved.
There is so much man bashing, I'm amazed that the number of gay men isn't doubling every month.

Fortunately, I'm at an age where loving and being loved by my sons, parents and siblings can satisfy me.
I don't see a relationship with a female in the offing, as its just not worth it.

After reading most of this (I found I could not tear myself away)I have spent the last hour debating whether to post something. What would be the point. I've tried to think of something positive to interject, and am still trying. I have seven children all by the same man. I stayed home until the last child was three, homeschooling them all. I stayed married until the abuse became physical towards the kids) because I loved him and committed myself to him. Commitment is a choice. A choice no one any longer feels an obligation to make. We have a "right" to ignore that choice. Love is a feeling. A feeling we have a "right" to feel no matter who it hurts - our children's future, our credibility; everyday feeling less, not more, becoming weaker, not stronger. An influence for good no more.

The court requires him to pay $60.00 a week, and I don't mean per child. He would not pay any unless they made him. He believes he is not responsible to provide financially for his family. He is trying to have the court make me move out of our house so that he can move in and I can pay child support to him. I would do without the child support, but am told (by other men)someone has to make him responsible. I only want to be left alone to finish raising the children I have, enjoy what time I have with them, and heal the past.

I have seen through all this that we have the society we deserve; that both sexes, without the redemption of Christ, are depraved; that God uses pain to teach us many things including how much He cares for us and how many truly wonderful people there are out there willing to lay down their own lives for complete strangers.

One of the unintended consequences of the looie liberal law's indulgence of "ladies" who aren't, who want to walk out on their man for little more reason than that they are tired of him.
