Ok lets keep this on point. WHY MEN WILL NOT ENTER INTO MARRIAGE.

This is not a discussion about ex-husbands, child custody/support issues.

There are more than enough examples in this thread alone from women complaining about child issues to give ANY man pause.

So any half decent man is supposed to ignore children a woman has in her posession? Guess what this topic is not about women with children. It is about those forgottem men, those men who are thoughtful about their future and their desire to have a family of THEIR OWN. A decent man does want to be a husband, father, and lover but not under the yolk of a repulsive modern women.

For those single mothers, I sympathise, but you are mothers first and completly. Since the divorce/custody/support circus has played out the way it has, you must live with the cards that have been delt.

(what was that prayer, lord let me change the things that I can change, deal with the things that I can not change, and the wisdom to know the difference between the two.)

The bottom line from all this: Men have criteria. Men have a set of standards. Women, (for whatever reason) are not fulfilling those criteria/standards.

The rest is details.

I guess you missed the part in the article about men not wanting to enter into a relationship with a woman who has children. I never said this bothered me. WHAT I DID SAY BOTHERED ME IS MEN WHO HAVE CHILDREN CAN CONTINUE THEIR LIVES as they see fit. THEY ARE NOT A FATHER FIRST AND COMPLETELY as the woman is required to be.
