Other countries make it easier to do this.

I agree, OP. Why people celebrate the undoing of civilization as "progress," I'll never know.

Hmmm...who's being smug here?

Yup. OP, do you also use the terms "wedlock" and "bastards"?

Why not? They're perfectly legitimate terms.

I think the problem here is that she doesn't work. I would guess that in most of these situations, the woman is in the weaker position than the man -- earning ability from being out of the work force and the reality of who takes primary responsibility for the children.

Both smug and defensive... sorry you aren't married and feel badly about it.
