Staying doesn't mean things have to continue exactly the way they did. He can, for instance, make a unilateral decision to switch to a less stressful, less paying job. He'll get some time with the kids, the the wife feel some pain.[/quote]

And their quality of life would suffer. Yeah, he could have manned up and demanded the wife work but it wouldn't turn out well. I did something similar and got divorced. I see my kids every two weeks, deal with my ex, who is incredibly difficult, pay a huge amount of support, and live in a crappy condo. It's not worth it, man. If you can save your marriage, this really is the cheaper option and is the one that will have the least amount of bitterness on everyone's part.[/quote]
Are you really saying you'd rather remain married to someone who is "incredibly difficult"?  I can't believe you are advocating staying married to a person like that just to avoid personal upheaval.  Would you give the same advice to a battered woman? Stay or your quality of life will suffer?

Why is there such a lack of respect for men? Why are men expected to be donkeys whose job is to pull the load quietly and shit out some money at regular intervals?[/quote]
