[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is more to marriage than the person.  I am not sure whether my husband would regret divorcing me.  The thing is, though, that [b]being married to me comes with a package of uninterrupted access to his children, a nice bundle of joint assets, the social status of being married to me, and a whole bunch of extras.[/b] That, I know, he would hate to lose.  So in that sense, he would absolutely regret it, and for that reason, he will never divorce. [/quote]

You sound like a potential abuser.  You sound like self-aggrandizing jerk! [/quote]

Why?  I share an observation, not a judgment.  Total assets are better than one half, all the time with the kids is better than part of it. [/quote]

Reread the bolded.  You think you are God's great gift to men.  What, exactly, do you get from your marriage to DH?  And why, if you divorced, would he not get "uninterrupted access to his children?"  Why assume that you would have primary custody?  Enter the 21st century, please. [/quote]

The bolded is the reflection of fact, not of my belief in my value.  Divorce divides assets and time with children - exactly what in this do you find questionable?

Since the thread contemplates the scenario when men initiates divorces, it's fair to examine the costs to men.  I do not intend to divorce, therefore the costs to me are irrelevant for the purposes of this thread.

He will not get uninterrupted access to children because his best scenario is shared custody.

Marriage is a societal construct, not a romantic one. Its purpose is to accumulate shared assets and raise children.  When you exit this contract, you incur costs in the assets and children line items.  Again, not sure why you find it so objectionable to see this fact spelled out.[/quote]
