No, this is a guy who has issues with the court system and the fact that his constitutional rights have been stripped from him. I am in a wonderful second marriage. My wife understands the issues.
You two are right out of the NOW playbook. Femi-Nazis are plentiful in this country. Why you're here on FR is a mystery to me. Do a little research. The percentage of divorces initiated by women. The child support awards. The lack of due process in divorce/custody hearings. Indentured servitude for men paying support. You call yourselves conservatives? You don't know the meaning of the word. You condone adultery and no-fault divorce. You condone broken homes. Women like you are the reason we have the problems we have with kids in this nation.
Wow! Why don't you tell us how you REALLY feel.
I have seen ex-wives who try to stick it their husbands, leaving them with nothing and have stood up for the husbands.
I have seen husbands walk away from their families, and boyfriends refuse to marry or pay child support to the mothers of their children(otherwise known as deadbeat dads) and get away with it.
It works both ways.
And sometimes the spouses are equally at fault.
I at least try to be honest and call each situation for what it is.
In this scenario, if a wife had done this to her husband, I would have stood up for he husband.
In your first reply, you immediately found fault with her.I found fault with the courts. You allowed your bad experience to color your judgment producing a prejudicial result.
I am aware of two men I have known since childhood who have gotten divorced recently. In both cases, I blame the wife. In the one case, I predicted it would end in divorce,(and this is before they had children and boy did I pray they didn't have children) because she was an immature self-centered narcissist. Ten years later with two beautiful little girls, she decides to end the marriage. Sure wish I had been on hand before he married her, but he probably wouldn't have listened.
I attempt to be fair in my judgments about these things and have treated the men in my life well, so don't you dare attempt to paint me with THOSE label. Many people have been mistreated by the opposite sex, but they still endeavor to be fair. I consider myself one of those people.
Wait 'till I tell my friends you called me a feminazi. They will laugh their heads off. I am the most traditional among them, and have been advocating all my adult life that mothers who can, stay home and raise their children because their children are far more important than any career. Also, I am not generally in favor of divorcve, particularly for couples with children.
You sound much like the blacks who were happy that OJ got off. As one black friend of mine said spontaneously at the moment of the announcement of OJ's acquittal, "That's for all the trouble we've taken from you white folks all these years." Me thinks your reaction to the dilemma of the woman in this article, was mighty similar to my black friends reaction to the OJ acquittal. It was neither rational or fair.
especially the one about women initiating divorce...
I would like to see what the definition of "initiating" is in this case, because if its simply the filing of papers, that means absolutely nothing...
afterall, if a guy cheats on his wife, gambles away the paycheck, drinks to excess, is lazy and uncomunicative, you can hardly blame a wife for seeking divorce, which is what I suspect happens...
anyway, you should try to enjoy life and stop feeling so sorry for yourself...
life is too short to be carrying this bitterness with you, and it will make you an old man far too soon....
I suppose you will call me a feminazi too.....but don't tell my husband of 28 yrs that, it'll devastate him.....
