[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At times it seems to me that marriage is a grand scheme, a ruse designed to use women to benefit men.  I truly see way more advantages for men than for women in the institution of marriage.[/quote]

Allright ladies, clueless husband here. I would genuinely appreciate some explanation of how I have the better deal in marriage. Please be specific because I would like to know why you believe this, but so far this thread has been entirely flame bait without any actual intelligent points to support the OP's position.[/quote]

With the case of my exH here were all the benefits he received:
1) Free household cleaning (with the exception of him doing laundry and dishes).
2) Free yard work (he never did any yard work)
3) Sex (which quickly dwindled the more often he reminded me that he made more and therefore did not have to do anything around the house and what a horrible Mother I was.)
4) Time to go to the gym while I played with our child (and he never returned the favor to me)
5) Didn't pay a single childcare expense (because he convinced me this was a fair trade for him paying the other bills, would be true if he didn't make 3x what I did)

Anyway, can you see why he is single now? [/quote]

No I do not see why he is single.
Every family has a different arrangement. It sounds like you agreed to stay home with the children in exchange for him being the earner. 
At some point this stopped working for you both and made you both resentful but you still both benefited from each other's sacrifices.[/quote]

PP here, sorry I misread I thought you said you provided the childcare. So you paid for it in exchange for him paying for all the other bills. 
You still had an agreement that you actively chose that at some point this stopped working for you both and made you both resentful. You still both benefited from each other's sacrifices.[/quote]
