it isn't always up to the groom whether or not he stays married to the bride.

If he picked carefully, and prayed to know he was choosing the right woman, this wouldn't happen. Divorce starts with the wrong engagement. If you buy a rattlesnake and try to treat it like a cat, you will be bitten.

But people want to be free to marry outside their faith, to marry for lust, or just to copulate with anybody drunk enough to go home with them. That freedom has a cost.

The same goes the other way. Quit calling me a male-basher. All fertile persons have a sacred obligation to the children they might have, to choose the other parent with all due care. I do however believe since men have the most to lose, financially, they ought to be more careful than they are.

Nonsense. All one has to do is "pick carefully" ? To continue with the metaphor, ever heard of the wolf in sheep's clothing? I married her.

Oh, I believe I have a sacred obligation to my children. Too bad the courts don't see it that way. To them, I'm a walking wallet. They garnish my wages like a criminal and they charge me $35/month for the privilege. And what accounting does mom have? None. She gets that money tax-free, can spend it on whatever and whomever she chooses. Oh, but dads are dead-beats, right?

The "family court" system is so stacked against fathers, it's sickening. You have zero idea what it is like. The courts start with 100% custody for mom and work back from there. How is that fair? Where are my rights to equal protection under the law?

I do however believe since men have the most to lose, financially, they ought to be more careful than they are.

Financially? perhaps. Emotionally, absolutely. Never again will I be able to read to my children every night. To lie on their beds and talk about all the things they did that day or allay their fears. I come home to an empty house and empty rooms. Because one person decided that breaking up the family was in her own best interest. And the anti-father courts made it all nice-n-legal.

You know, the trouble with women like you is that men can do no right. We're either twirling our moustaches and tying women to the railroad tracks or too stupid to know that we've married a betraying b_tch.
