[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Bingo. But [b]let's not turn this into men versus women.[/b]  The fact is that the damaged men posting in this thread are not the ones any quality woman is looking to for marriage.  I briefly dated a man like the goofballs in this thread.  So worried about his money being taken in a divorce.  I dumped him quickly, moved on to my now-husband, and am now happily married with children.  I also earn a lot as a big law attorney, as does my husband in sales.  Meanwhile, the years have not been kind to the douchebag I dumped.  I kept in touch with him because he refused to stop e-mailing me periodically.  Well, he lost his high income when he was laid off during the recession.  He is now in his 50s, going back to school, and painfully single.  He has also lost the good looks he once had -- hair is thin, waistline has spread, wrinkles have set in from years of drinking too much and being bitter towards women, lol.  Recently, he told me that he wondered what his life might have been like if he had married me and if his kids were mine.  I changed the subject because the thought of being married to him was too horrible to dwell on.  This is real.  The 50s are lonely for most people, talk less of those who frittered away their prime years paranoidly guarding their money from an imagined horde of gold diggers.  [/quote]

It's either you are still hurt by that 'goofball' or as a DAMAGED 'big law attorney' you seem to think that life is monolithic and everyone's life should follow a traditional path to marriage and family.

The world isn't responsible for what went wrong with you and your ex, and I suggest you compartmentalize accordingly (and stick to lobbying instead of trying to comment authoritatively on Family Law).[/quote]

^^Lonely 60 year old man.  Don't worry, there's viagra for the ED.  Too bad viagra can't make women stop viewing you as a nasty old man they would never want to date.[/quote]

Heed your own words...you know neither my age or gender...BUT we all can see how bitter you are, and your legal analytical skills are obviously lacking here.[/quote]

No, she claims to be happily married, LOL.[/quote]
