[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I blame the family law system, which leads women to believe that they will get everything. My ex-wife spent years bullying me, threatening divorce, and telling me if divorce happened she'd get everything--all the time with the children, all my money, retirement, house, etc. She had no incentive to behave well or participate in counseling because all she had to do was drive me from the home and she'd win the lottery.

It didn't work out that way for her, but only because I fought like hell and spent a lot on attorneys. But many other men haven't been so lucky.

I tell all young men to avoid marriage at all costs, and if they are dumb enough to get married, don't have kids. If they're dumb enough to marry and have kids, just have one child and make sure your wife is always working and always have a backup plan and hidden savings ($40,000) so you can hire a good attorney.

I'm a divorced 55yo male.  I understand your position and views, but I think getting married to the RIGHT person for the RIGHT reasons is great.  And as much as my teen daughter drives me insane, I would really be missing out on not being a dad.

I will however offer this...

During a conversation in her office about what she would do if ever faced with having to divorce, my female divorce attorney said "I would never be stupid enough to marry someone who made any less than me.  And I will teach my son to never marry a woman who earns less than he does, no matter how successful he is."

I found that interesting to say the least![/quote]
