“Some men like to wallow in their loserness.”
True, but these losers have a point. The legal system is completely stacked against men, from assumed-rapist-in-college to divorce court to taking your guns and freedom on her word.
The smartest divorcee I knew was a friend. His wife was a shrew and she spawned two shewette daughters. She demanded sole custody and an unfair split of assets.
He immediately complied, put the child support payments in the custody of the Court, declined all visitation rights for the kids and moved away and is rather hard to find.
She would periodically try to cause him trouble, chiefly because she blew through all the money he left her in about a year, but could never be found for further milking — and apparently there is no legal obligation to be found if you cease to have custodial rights.
She’s no longer a member of the country club, but rather teaching a a public middle school. She was a real looker, but now looks rather fat and plain.
The boytoy she was screwing has moved on and her kids are losers.
He’s doing extremely well for himself in Costa Rica, or so I’ve heard.
I love stories with happy endings! ;-)
