Oh, goodie! Another thread for unhappily divorced guys to bash women! A regular on FR these days.
Yeh, women are such beotchs. That’s why most of them work a full-time job, pick the kids up from school, make dinner, do the laundry and keep the house clean. I don’t know one woman that has “cashed out”.
There are some women out there who are "high maintenance" and divorce a decent man who is not living up to her financial expectations. However, in a lot of cases, "not making money", means that the husband shows no real ambition, and is perfectly content to let his wife carry the load and keep things going while he hangs out with his buddies. I don't blame the woman for wanting out of a situation like that.

You won't get any bashing from me. Reading the article, I'm not sure the author quoting the study even understood it. Here's what passes for critical thought on his part ...
This includes two attorneys I knew in the Twin Cities a decade or so ago. They were beautiful, progressive, and quite successful. The man, whom I’ll call Dale, stayed home to raise their (adorable) little girl. They seemed perfectly happy, an all-American family. Then one day we found out our friends were getting divorced. (I never found out precisely why. But Dale, who is getting remarried in July, is practicing law again.)
In other words, "I have no idea what happened to my friends but it just HAS to be proof of what's in this study."
So, you're right ... the article is a blank screen for anyone with an axe to grind.
The lady doth protest too much, methinks...HEH HEH
I see the ladies getting their digs in too.
All sides turn bitter after divorce.
I ‘m sorry to say you are right, Miss Marmelstein! Not all women are like the ones described by bitter Freeper men, I absolutely reject some of the terrible things that have been said here. My husband had to take early retirement for medical reasons. He went from making $200k per year to zero. I don’t love or respect him any less and am thankful that as a professional engineer, I am now the family breadwinner.
