Great article and dead on. I dated like crazy and I made loads of dough. Those cute girls were never a consideration for marriage. They were money hounds waiting to bait me, only to get preggers and use me and the children as trophies, and I knew it. I was to be no trophy husband. I married a great gal. A good friend describes her as "one cool lady." She was professional, going through her Masters, made her own way through life and enjoyed who I was.

One day my best friend an I were at the dirt bike track. His wife was a bitch about him riding. Mine loved it. He asked, "You ever going to marry that girl?" We were engaged two weeks later at Christmas. Seven years later and we're doing great.

My sister, who claimed I was too "irresponsible" to ever marry, is divorcing her husband after 20 years, leaving my nephew, a 17 year old senior in high school . Her complaint, "[My husband] is too boring." She wants to party and get laid. Her hubby is a great guy and never cheated or abused her. He is actually a fun loving guy, she is just a party pooper. He was always the responsible one, and recently retired Air force.

She likes to tell "men suck" stories. AT 39 years old, she is in for one rude awakening.

That the problem right there, guy.

I'm retired Navy, and I have seen this a thousand times. Retired military persons are seen as automatic check machines. The women know the checks will be coming, and if necessary, her portion removed before he even sees it after she gets the courts on her side.

There are women who cant resist the idea of getting that money without having to put of with the man who earned it.

Wow. Your story is similar to mine. I went on a fishing trip 3 years ago, and came home she had changed the locks and told me if i didnt leave she'd call the sheriff and make up a story. Her daughter was there (my step daughter, whom i taught to drive and supported her ass through college) and of course she said shed back up the ex's story. I went to an attourney and she said what the ex did was basically illegal, what to do? I lived in my jeep for a month, bought a TINY little house in the ghetto on contract and she basically stole my nice house (It was mine before we got married, still only in my name) I am flumoxed as to what to do, dont know if i have any options but just to let the courts have their way.

But....after about a year, i started seeing my boys almost any time i wanted, and thats alot. (they and I kept pestering her till she finally gave up holding them out on me) and i have been dating A LOT of MUCH BETTER looking YOUNGER women, just about any time i want. Its amazing, they all thought they were going to get a "better deal" by divorcing and finding someone else, but theres no way in heck that i will ever get married again, i am actually having a great time. LOL

Her complaint, "[My husband] is too boring."

The untold story. This culture's dirty little secret.
