[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems a common theme is wives leaving because they just can’t tolerate having a child for a husband. Weaponzied incompetence, performative parenting, etc. but then, once divorced, you are supposed to continue doing all the organizing and invisible labor, or else you aren’t a cooperative co parent and  “the kids will suffer”. We divorce them when they don’t pull their weight in marriage but then tolerate it once divorced. [/quote]

NP here. Divorce does not make it better. No, he does not pay me alimony or child support. 50/50 is BS.[/quote]

Another NP in the middle of it. From the day I knew I was pregnant I realized I was in a bad place, but told myself to just hang in and maybe it would get better. It didn’t. So then it became just stay in until DC can talk, stay until DC can take transit, stay until DC is 18. I knew that as bad as my life was it would be worse doing all the same stuff but outside the financial and legal protections of a marriage.

I was right. DH filed and is now very happy to have a legal system that he can use to tell me what to do and to stand behind him as he does something below the bare minimum. There are armies of apologists for men ready to work for $500/hour to focus on “future potential as a parent” and making moms do it all under the guise of “cooperation”.

I’m rambling, but yes, coparenting is even more of a scam than marriage was, for me, at least. It’s a weaponization of the legal system to protect lazy men’s egos at the cost of children and families.[/quote]
