[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally speaking, after a divorce, the woman's standard of living declines, and the man's increases. That tells you that it is [i]women[/i] who are the disproportionately expensive partner in the marriage, not men, generally speaking.

I'm already paying the mortgage and paying for day care and extracurriculars. If I got divorced, she'd have to pay her own mortgage, and she'd have to contribute to child care and extracurriculars as she does not currently do. As a result, I'd be better off and she'd be worse off. (This assumes 50/50 custody, of course.)[/quote]

This just shows you that women earn less money than men.  Usually because they are doing a disproportionate amount of unpaid domestic work.  [/quote]

Nope. I make 66% of the HHI but cover more than 66% of the expenses. She is disproportionately expensive.

Also, I do more than my share of the domestic work, so if we got divorced, she'd be worse off on that front, too.[/quote]
