To: HUSBANDS WHO CHEAT. ( Without knowing it! )

School is supposed to prepare us for life. At least that is what we are taught. We go
to school so that by the time we graduate we'll be able to fit into society and even
have a "good job".

Yet there is one area of life that is often neglected in any curriculum and that is family
relationships. Most people would grow up to form a new family and yet there's no
required course in any school I know on marriage and family relationship. On how
to get along as a couple / family member.

I'm convinced that 90% of the problems we have in marriages today would be solved
if partners understood the basic differences between men and women.

Just one example would suffice here. Most husbands (men) are oblivious to how
women value CONVERSATION. So listen up men: If you enjoy (or even seem to enjoy)
speaking to another woman more than you do with your wife, then in her mind you are CHEATING.

It doesn't make sense to you? Neither me, but it just is. You can either try to reprogram
all women or adjust to the fact.

    What does make sense to me is the numbers don't lie. Close to 50% of all marriages end in divorce and 88% of those divorces are instigated by WOMEN. So quite frankly, who gives a flying F what upsets women or what they perceive as cheating. What matters is that you don't put yourself at risk when she loses her mind and decides she's not happy anymore for WHATEVER reason!

    Men who get married have a 50% chance of losing most of their entire life's wealth and energy just because they once said I DO when they were young and clueless. Does that sound like a good bet to you? HELLA NOI Hence why I've never got married, never had kids and I'm VERY happy about that. FREEDOM never gets old brahs. Everyday is a sunny day when you live life on your own terms without being bogged down into domestic drudgery.

    Enjoy your relationships for what they are while they're fun, hot and exciting and then move on. Do that and you'll always get to walk away free and clear, happy and unscathed with some fond memories. And FFS don't get them pregnant eh, don't be a total F-tard!

    TEACH THAT IN SCHOOLS and the high male suicide rate in males over 35 will surely drop!

        The numbers don't lie, they cannot be disputed. Divorce is legal theft and one of the biggest transfers of wealth known to man hence why in nearly all cases women instigate the divorce.

        On a forum completely devoted to making money in one form or another it should be a major part of learning. What's the point of making money only to lose it. I don't want to see fellow warriors drained of their time, energy and resources. Self preservation, freedom and happiness are far from immature or misogynistic.

      I seriously doubt that this was his ^^^ decision to make but he'd like it to appear that it was. Who would want him?

      To the OP: If a guy enjoys talking to another woman more than his wife, he married the wrong woman to start with.

        Standard typical nonsense. I'm surprised you didn't go with, "you're going to die alone". The reality is that I've never had one girlfriend who didn't hassle the living crap out of me to get married. As a general rule, women need marriage and children, they need it like a drug.

        Men don't care about marriage and kids, it's something they get hassled into or feel obliged to do, go with the flow, keep her happy. I don't know one MAN who ever dreamed of his wedding day haha or enjoyed the thought of spending vast amounts of his hard on money on bringing up kids for literally no benefit to himself. He just woke up one morning and thought FFS how am I in this mess. And where the F has all my money gone, and that's before the divorce hits. The numbers don't lie, this is the cold hard truth.

        The easiest thing is to get married and have kids. Literally anyone can do it, it's that easy, and sadly, they do, those poor kids. Man is mostly stupid, he hands over his time, freedom and resources without thinking of the long term consequences. He simply doesn't understand that marriage is a LEGAL CONTRACT which has life changing consequences if he breaks the terms of that contract or has them unfairly broken on him. He just doesn't have the foresight to realise that people change over time. Change is fine, I just won't allow anyone to take me to the cleaners because they changed. I don't mind if you walk, you're just not going to walk with my stuff.

        Don't get screwed bros! Don't be that young guy who reads this and wishes they'd taken heed down the line, cos 50% of you are guaranteed to find yourself in the exact mess I describe. You want to chance those odds? HELLA NO!

          There are some religious institutions which offer pre marriage counseling.

          That "How to interact as a family member" is one of those things your own family is supposed to work with you on. Of course, many parents these days can't be bothered with actually raising their children responsibly. Or the parents are young teens who get a crazy idea to go ahead and start having babies before they even get out of high school.

          I must be weird then. While I never dreamed of my wedding day, all I've ever really wanted was a good woman and children. I believe that's what life is all about - family. And in the end, all that really matters. Not one night stands or disposable girlfriends.

          Of course there are other things that are very important such as finances, health, career, etc. But I do those things mainly because of my family.

              It might surprise you, but some women get ruined by men, too. I've been destroyed twice. Life with the man turned out to be that he expected me to work to earn money, come home and cook and clean while he parked his lazy ass in front of the tv and made more mess then expected me to look sexy for him when I was done hauling butt to keep things running. It baffled them when I refused to drop babies for them to stick me with, too. Women don't need that crap either. If a man isn't willing to put his half in - she's going to take her half and fly.

              From listening to you, I'm thinking you thought the woman in the house was mommy and worked her into derision, then thought she's entitled to nothing. I bet there aren't too many women who are any too reviled over the idea that you want to be alone.

                I hear you. One man I married had idea that a hard day at work was to smoke bong hits, watch cartoons, and sneak off with another pothead friend to go to the river on a boat. This was after I paid to put him through training so he could get a decent job and keep it. So he got an undemanding job fixing printers where he was "on the road" going from job to job, only he pretended he was en route while at the river smoking dope.

                He spent over $100 week in bowling league fees and that came out of the grocery money that he was supposed to be spending on feeding us. I paid the mortgage on the house, therefore, when he was caught cheating and I kicked him to the curb, (South Park Cartoon Man Take Note), I got the house I was paying for with my hard earned cash and he got his fuc%ing bowling balls handed to him.

                There are plenty of men who end up little more than freeloaders, and then whine and cry like a bitch when they get their marching orders, and the wives take what they have worked for.

                So, marriage does protect women who marry these freeloading losers in several ways. There are tax benefits to being married, it's easier to get a mortgage if you're married, your children are legitimate, and it's easier to protect your own marital assets if the marriage is legal because you have the right to your half. Sometimes that is a loss because you put in more than half, but it's better than nothing. I raised my 4 kids with very little child support (I received the same amount of money for 3 children that most women get for one and the last one I didn't even bother to pursue child support) ... and I'd do it all over again. Making babies is about the only thing he did right.

                ... and by the way, South Park Cartoon Man, I bought myself a leather Coach Bag for $350. It held up for about 10 years and then I bought another one that was more expensive because their prices went up. Since it was my money to spend, I don't owe anyone an explanation on why I wanted it.

                That's because you played the game badly. The game is so easy for women, there is literally no excuse to not be happy as a woman. I know exactly how women should play the game. For women, a life of everything you want has only 2 paths. You just need to follow one of them and you will get everything you desire, pretty much guaranteed.

                You know those bitter 35+ women you meet? Well they're everywhere and do you know why they're bitter, because they played a very simple game badly, and they see other women playing it well and they hate it. Hate themselves for blowing it.

                  I still think you're joking.

                  We had a guy here named Walking Carpet. He talked like you do (although it's obvious you have a better command of language). It took me months to realize that he was serious.

            Lots of men think like you do and can't wait to get married. Sadly 50% of those marriages end abruptly out of the blue instigated by the wife 88% of the time. In a blink of an eye, you're out of the house and your wife has already hooked up with new guy. He's already moved in but don't worry, you still get to pay for their house. So that's nice.

            The kids call new guy daddy now, but at least you get to see them on weekends where you have to hear all about how fun new daddy is. Happy families! That's the reality of family for 50% of men who get married. I truly pity them. They just didn't see it coming.

              That will certainly help keep costs down instead of just having to hand over cash on a monthly basis which gets spent on makeup and handbags.
              If you think having custody of your child is about saving cash - you're a fool. Or maybe just not a parent.

              If you don't want to be married...that's probably a good choice to make for YOU. Doesn't make you an expert on marriage. That would be my job as I've done it several times.

              Never took more than I contributed...no drama/retribution. Stayed friends with ex's and from my messy life I created two amazing young men who have stable families and happy, comfortable lives.

              I don't think schools can - or should - teach "relationship skills". I do think they should teach life skills - money management, time management, negotiation and other common sense skills that can make or break a relationship after the initial buzz of excitement fades.

                He's not married, never will be married and definitely not a parent to his knowledge, which is a very good thing. Crappy thing to do to a child if he were. Some people are not fit to procreate and raise children.

                CaRTmAnBrAh,

                We all gotta do what is best for us individually.

                But your post kinda makes me sad. It tells me that you've never had a deep enough connection with another person to want to commit to a long term relationship with them - which doesn't have to even be marriage btw.

                And maybe that connection with another person is just not that important to you. That's fine, but I do think you are tossing out some generalizations on how other men "really feel."

                I know plenty of guys who have/wanted to get married and have kids.

                You seem to have a solid end result pictured in your head of how that would wind up working out for you. And you are right - for you.

                Yes, having custody would save money. In typical circumstances where the woman gets custody the courts award a ridiculous amount based on % of salary, not what the child actually needs. You can't get away form the reality, that child support and alimony is an utter disgrace and has and will continue to destroy the lives of men. that saddens me.

                If you don't want to be married...that's probably a good choice to make for YOU. Doesn't make you an expert on marriage.
                Yes it does actually. As a man there's no reason to sign a legal contract of marriage. It only offers the possibility of financial ruin, for 50% of marriages it guarantees it.

                after the initial buzz of excitement fades.
                I don't stay in relationships once the buzz and excitement has faded. Why on earth would any man do that? Oh that's right, because he got married and now can't leave as otherwise he'll get taken to the cleaners.

                So far I've made at least $1,000,000 not getting married and having kids, and I didn't have to do anything apart from enjoy my life. I should sell a WSO.

            Obvious bait ... lol.

            I'll just respond by using the same thing men say.

            No need to back peddle now Claude, we're all bros together fighting the good fight. You are right, women's brains are scientifically smaller, what do you think they had to leave out? Logic and reason? Think about it, they happily spend $1,000's on handbags. HANDBAGS!

              You obviously don't know Claude or your "audience." It was obvious tongue in cheek bait. He wasn't backpedaling.

              The only thing left out of the woman's brains are fascination with porn, farting and burping instincts, and penis obsession.

                  Right ... sorry loser. You'd never get that first date. That's really probably your biggest problemo. Rejection syndrome. Most rejects pretend that they're the ones who don't want committed relationships rather than own the fact that they could never keep anyone's attention long enough to have one.

                  Some day, you'll have an "Aha" moment..or you won't. I hope you do.

              I'm going to pretend like this is a serious discussion. Men's brains develop more gray matter.

              Women's brains develop far more neural connections.

              The average woman has far better language skills than the average man, far more complex speech, and visually, see details that men do not. They can also tell if you are lying...far better than men. They see facial ticks and expressions that men completely miss.

              They can drive and hold a better conversation at the same time. I suspect that can appreciate art and music, on levels that men can't. But that's just a suspicion.


              Men generally have better spacial awareness, and can compartmentalize our thinking better than women.

              We tend to be better at reading maps, doing math (not science), building structures. Single tasks, that require concentration...hunting, chess, that sort of thing.

              But having a lasting relationship?

              I have a message from an old man to a young man (I hope you are young).

              There is nothing more rewarding for a man, that a relationship with their mate, if that mate cares for them as much as they care for themselves. And you will not lose that person, if you care for them as much as you care for yourself.

              The right mate can make your life far easier, far more worth living. Just as much as the wrong mate can turn your life into a living hell. I chose well, and so did my wife.

              Not all women are gold digging opportunists, just as all men aren't misogynistic asses.
              Some day, you'll have an "Aha" moment..or you won't. I hope you do.

                And when they are not driving they are very good at giving directions. They know
                that's one place they have a captive audience so they make very good use of it.

                You're being way too kind with that remark Claude but you're a nice guy so it's fine.

                But it troubles me none the less. It's so concerning as because women can't do math that's why they don't understand the value of money.

                Generally, women don't save, almost never invest and are the ones who mostly always build up the huge credit card and store card debts most families have. Hence why the malls are full of women. They're like shopping zombies programmed to spend money on absolute nonsense. All you married men, look around your homes at all the ridiculously expensive crap your wives have bought and ask yourselves, If I were single would I have bought any of that? OF COURSE NOT! What do we men want, just a decent sized TV and sports package, a few beers and some peace and quiet FFS!

                From the moment you guys get engaged, the vast level of un-necessary expense begins. Apart from the obvious engagement ring and wedding ring costs of $1,000's, the average wedding in America costs $30,000 alone, then there's the MASSIVE ongoing expense of incoming kids, new nursery, bigger house, more kids, a bottomless pit of costs and domestic energy draining, time consuming, life sapping hassle, a life that has a 50% to fail whereby you'll lose your home. She'll be OK though so that's nice. She can then move on to the next guy and do it all again. You can't move on though cos you're still paying alimony and support forever.

                I feel for you guys, I really do.

                  Well, most women are spending their own money nowadays, so husbands
                  can't complain. Every relationship involves compromise. Only at Burger

          There's a big difference between talking to your mother and choosing one or more women who are not your wife to have one on one deep conversations on a regular basis that you don't have with your wife. What that means is that another person is more stimulating intellectually or emotionally than your wife, and that's not a good thing for a marriage.

      Pre-nup. I just had my ex try to take me for half. Pfft. The attorney got more than she did.

      You've got a pretty bleak outlook on the whole situation. 100% of marriages end in death or divorce.

      With that type of attitude, you're never going to let people close for fear of losing your money -- then you end up old, single, and alone, but with a pile of cash.

      You may want that. I don't. I'll risk getting married again (when I find the right girl) and losing half.

      If she helped me build it (holding it down for me), she deserves half. If she didn't, well, attorneys keep her away from it.

      Relationships & Money both need to be taught in school, Raydal. The world would be a lot better place.

        Try getting divorced when kids are involved, you're going to pay and pay big!

        The first two years of any relationship are the best two years that relationship is ever going to have. The most sex, the most fun, the most carefree times, the most excitement. After that, marriage and kids, it's all downhill from there.

        I'll risk getting married again (when I find the right girl) and losing half.
        Find the right girl, have an amazing time, just don't marry her, when it inevitably goes pear shaped, move on to the next amazing relationship with no penalties. If you won't help yourself brah, you'll probably learn the hard way. So be it.

          I got majority custody of my daughter in the divorce. Women don't hold all the cards anymore. The courts are starting to see if the same way you do -- legalized theft of assets. The judge asked me if I wanted child support.

          Hey, I tend to agree with your viewpoint on the majority of girls being useless for marriage. It's in their upbringing.

          I disagree with you saying that raising children and getting married have NO benefit to a man and that two years of a relationship are the only good parts. You just can't see the benefits.

          Did you stop and think that maybe your attitude towards women and relationships is what's causing yours to go South after two years?

          And no, no man that I've ever known has dream of his wedding day. But he has dreamed of coming home to his smoking hot wife that holds shit down while he's out busting his ass to provide for his family.

          That being said, the last two girls I dated thought I was broke. I preferred them thinking I had no money, and the fact that I didn't leave the house to go to "work" meant they were around me because they wanted to be. Both beautiful girls by most guy's standards. It didn't "go South" -- we just weren't right for each other.

          That's a big difference than when you lead with how much money you make, show up in a nice ass car, or carry around a bunch of cash, wearing gold jewelry. If you want to attract gold diggers who work you over for your hard earned money, lead with your money first.

          There's two sides to the coin. Not all men cheat, not all women cheat. Not all relationships end in divorce -- some end in "death do us part".

            Fact is, many women are equal partners in busting their ass to provide for the family. Maybe not where you live, but in the US, the concept of male provider is more than a bit outdated.

            In addition, since women are income earners after the marriage, there's absolutely no reason for a man to feel that the marriage assets are his and his alone and that the wife getting her share if legalized theft. The marital assets are "theirs."

            So women are not prepared for marriage? Facts are that 17% of marriages end because of infidelity and that both women and men cheat at about the same rate, which is 70% of men and women cheat on their spouses.

            That indicates to me that both men and women are not prepared for marriage and the vows should simply read "until you bore the crap out of me."

            A divorce, however, will not end both the husband's and the wife's responsibility to financially and emotionally support their children.

            For you to get majority custody is good damage limitation I'll give you that. Well done. That will certainly help keep costs down instead of just having to hand over cash on a monthly basis which gets spent on makeup and handbags.

            But he has dreamed of coming home to his smoking hot wife that holds shit down while he's out busting his ass to provide for his family.
            But what then, in 10 years are you going to have 3 failed marriages and 4 kids behind you. Do you have any idea of how that will destroy your later life. Most men have their living arrangements dictated to by their marriage. If their marriage fails, most men have to move out or sell the place then pay ongoing support. You go over 10 years married, you pay alimony to your ex-wife for life. You get to keep her in the manner she is accustomed to for her entire life. And that doesn't even touch the ongoing child support.

            I sleep soundly every night because I know I will always wake up in my home until I decide I want to move and sell it. Nobody else can force me out or to sell.

        Yes, having custody would save money. In typical circumstances where the woman gets custody the courts award a ridiculous amount based on % of salary, not what the child actually needs. You can't get away form the reality, that child support and alimony is an utter disgrace and has and will continue to destroy the lives of men. that saddens me.
        What do you think should happen? That men should be able to walk away from their children because paying for them is inconvenient? Many parents now share custody and avoid child support - do you have something against that, too?

          No, a man should of course pay for his children, but a realistic and fair amount, not based on % of earnings and it certainly shouldn't be paid to the ex-wife to do with as she pleases. Every penny of child support should be accounted for, and if not, should be a criminal offence.

    Ray, where did you ever get the bit about school preparing you for life?
    Good grief, when you've got 16, 17 even 18 year old young adults having
    to ask for permission to go to the restroom; what's the message being sent?

    As to a successful marriage, I think it's simple. Some people just enjoy each other's company. They can't imagine life any other way.

    No need for drama, therapy or cheating.

    And decades later, the joy they find together is so deeply rooted, nothing short of
    death can unhinge it.

    Suzanne, I know all too well it takes more to build a home than it does to bring home the bacon. When the woman has done that, she deserves half and the dude trying to deny her half is useless. I wasn't in that situation -- she didn't do anything to keep up the house, spent my money, went chasing tail on the weekends, and started being abusive towards my daughter. She was against my internet business the entire time I owned it. She didn't help build it, and definitely didn't deserve half.

    But what then, in 10 years are you going to have 3 failed marriages and 4 kids behind you. Do you have any idea of how that will destroy your later life. Most men have their living arrangements dictated to by their marriage. If their marriage fails, most men have to move out or sell the place then pay ongoing support. You go over 10 years married, you pay alimony to your ex-wife for life. You get to keep her in the manner she is accustomed to for her entire life. And that doesn't even touch the ongoing child support.
    I have no intentions of being married 3 or 4 times lmao. You're not wrong about the "most men" thing. Not all marriages are created equal, though. I think it's almost more a problem with the guy having his entire life and living arrangements dictated by a marriage than it is with the woman. If he lets things happen he's not comfortable with, he's bending and she'll lose respect for him eventually. Those are called bad marriages.

    It's all perspective. I used to swear I'd never get married, and after leaving my ex I'd have every reason not to. The benefits outweigh the costs, though. A good woman can change your life in ways you'd never imagine.

    My grandparents have been married for 48 years, and they still prank each other. Constantly laughing, stirring the pot, and keeping each other on their toes. Not all marriages end badly.

    I'm thinking more along the lines of women like my ex, and a lot of the gold diggers in my family. They see men as a meal ticket, that they can use, abuse, and divorce when he's got nothing left -- taking whatever they can with them in the process. Marrying a man knowing you're going to end up getting divorced and taking as much as you can is legalized theft -- in my eyes.

    "Holding it down" -- to me -- means not blowing all your money, being abusive, trying to cheat, and generally being a bad wife.

    The women who put in as much as their man deserve half, and no judge would deny her that. Giving him the ability to do what he does, and picking up his slack along the way. Any man who tried to deny her that deserved the hell that would be coming his way. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

    Ray,

    I appreciate your thought as far as needing to learn communication and other aspects of having a long lasting, happy marriage. It's just like anything else important such as getting fit and healthy, making money, raising kids, etc. It takes learning and continuous improvement to have long lasting success.

    However, with my traditional, more conservative, religious values and beliefs, I don't want people that don't share those beliefs teaching my kids about how to have a happy and long lasting marriage. For example, can you imagine if our cartoon character in this thread was the professor teaching about marriage?

    It needs to be done but not in the public sector I don't think.

    My wife and I have had these discussions. I tend to ask, "When you say that, do you mean...?."

    Women have layers of emotions that men don't. They read things into what we say, because their brains are far better wired that men's. True. They expect us to have a subtlety of meaning, that we just don't possess.

    I explained to my wife a few times;

    "Dear, we process information differently. When we communicate, women have an advantage. They have subtleties of meaning and nuance that men don't possess. There is no way for me to evolve to understand how you think. You have to simplify how you talk. "

    She tries, and I try. But I know this; If she asks my how the pot roast tastes...it's a trap. If she says, "I think it could use a little more salt. What do you think?"

    The correct answer is, "It's perfect the way it is. You're a fantastic cook".

    Anything else, will get a perfectly made pot roast...thrown in the garbage. And an unhappy wife.

    I'm warning you..Guys......any time they ask your opinion, on anything having to do with them.....it's a trap. Fake passing out if you have to...just never say, "That dress looks great. I like it almost as much as the other dress" Because she will never wear that dress again.

    And when you are watching TV, and a beautiful girl show up on the screen...never...NEVER say, "Wow"........NEVER!


    I speak Womanese. And my life is so much better after I was neutered.

      And I will add one...Don't EVER and I mean NEVER say anything concerning weight. NEVER. If your wife ask you if she looks bigger. Just say she is looking beautiful and she looks like she lost weight. Lie your ass off if you have to

      I cringe when I hear friends who say they told their wives that they look like they gained weight.

        My wife is now 68 years old. She no longer looks like she did when she was younger, and it really bothers her. One day, she was looking in the mirror, saw a new ..effect of aging.....and said something like, "Am I still attractive to you?"

        I'm being serious. I knew it bothered her. And it didn't need to.

        I said something like, "Honey, you will always be the most beautiful woman to me. When we are both old and senile, I will love every inch of you, and nothing can change that".

        I meant it. But if she ever asks, "Tell me the truth, what do you think of my....?"...she didn't mean for you to tell her the truth.

        And if a guy asks you the same thing...he also doesn't mean for you to tell him the truth. That's a fact I find particularly funny.

              2) They're to incompetent to realize they make poor choices.

        So I think we can all agree that there are loser men, and loser women.

        But aren't there signs of that before you get married?

        If the man tells you his last four girlfriend falsely accused him of beating them....isn't that a prelude to the same?

        If a woman mentions that the last time she had a boyfriend, she got mad and set his house on fire.....isn't that a sign?

        Are these people hard working before you move in together, and then lazy bums afterward?

        Aren't there signs of a high maintanence woman...before you marry her?


        Did you think these people were going to change?

        I'm sorry, but one loser boyfriend/girlfriend when you are young and stupid...is a mistake.

        Two is a pattern. Three is an addiction.

        Decades ago, I had a first date with a beautiful girl. I asked where she would like to eat, and she chose a very exclusive restaurant (maybe 1977). She ordered the lobster salad. Even at the time, it was $50. I didn't mind so much, until she took two bites and pushed it aside.

        I asked, "Is is bad?"

        She said, "No. It's fine. I'm just not hungry."

        And that is the moment I knew that this was our last date.

        A revelation may occur when you realize you get to choose who you marry. And they get to choose if they want to marry you.

          Years a go I met this physically gorgeous woman who was pushing 40. She had married her
          high school sweetheart and they were both very religious. The husband had become a Church Elder.
          Then he had an affair and wanted to stay with the new woman.

          Divorce happened and here is this woman, who had lived as raised - stay at home Mom with the home
          in the neighborhood that the neighborhood kids hung out at, - suddenly working as a bank teller, being sent to school to improve her basic writing skills, having a tough time refinancing the home into her name....

          Are these people hard working before you move in together, and then lazy bums afterward?

          Did you think these people were going to change?

          I'm sorry, but one loser boyfriend/girlfriend when you are young and stupid...is a mistake.

          Two is a pattern. Three is an addiction.
          I've been married 3 times. Only one, my third, was in the loser category and he did have a job before we were married. It was after we were married that he all of a sudden couldn't keep a job down, and I finally realized that he was being fired from these jobs for not showing up. That's when I put him through training, only to have him accept a part time job so that it didn't cut into his recreational activities.

          My second husband was always employed. He is the father of my children and he turned out to be a really lousy father. Not such a great husband either in that while I was working, he was screwing our babysitter. That occurred around 9-10 years after we married, so no ... there was no advance warning, although I did find out then that she wasn't the first. I worked evenings, so had no clue.

          My first husband was the "mistake when you are young" husband. Lasted two miserable years and got loose of it.

          There was no pattern. All three were as different from each other as they could be.

          My third husband cured me ... I've been single ever since and don't care to have a "significant bother" in my life ... at all.

          Yes, but in all honesty when you are a young man and she has that "thing" right there sitting in front of you, well uninhibited and careless instincts kick in

          And I'm not trying to be vile when I say this. Just honest

          I remember my mom raised and bred a a number of golden retriever bitches in our backyard...over a number of years. We had regular studs we mated these bitches with.

          But before the stud would arrive we had neighborhoods dogs come over while they were in the pen in heat. And whining and barking to get at our dog in heat.

          We had a tiny male dachshund from our neighbor next door and he was so beside himself he would go up against the neighborhood St. Bernard.

          He didn't care if he got 55 stitches from the St. Bernard , he just wanted to mate with our dog so he was literally out of his mind.

          How does this relate to what you said ? Sometimes a young man is like that Dachshund. He don't care whats in his way and is essentially out of his mind. His hormones take over

          It's not a cop out or excuse just reality and a observation

    You've got me wanting to defend women lol -- especially the ones that get custody and raise their kids, while the man pays a % of his earnings. He's getting off easy.

    If he made $100,000 a month, the children are entitled to 15% of it. You're saying $15,000 a month is too much, but if the family were still in tact, the kids would have access to a LOT more than $15,000 worth of lifestyle.

    Judges don't just pass out child support to gold digging women that run around on their husbands and abuse their marriage. I'm proof. Some women may pull it off, but it's not as common as you're making it out.

    The dads that get reamed over the coals usually weren't available in their child's lives to begin with, so the mother has to support them entirely -- financially, included. If he cheats, he didn't really care for his family in the first place, and will take care of them in any way the judge thinks he can. To the tune of 15% per kid.

    My lawyer has 7 kids with 4 women and doesn't pay any of them a dime in child support. They're all friends. He picks up every tab his kids have, medical, school, extra curricular. The ex-wives moved on, he moved on, the kids are better off for it.

    There's no way to lay blanket statements across this topic.

    I keep getting that you think men are weak and can't keep themselves out of these situations by avoiding those types of women, or picking themselves up and moving on, accepting that they've made a bad decision -- should they ever find themselves in the situation.

    If that's true, that's the reason for divorce. If you go into it with a time frame in mind, it's always going to end badly and you'll keep the same attitude.

      Are you smoking crack brah! OF COURSE $15K per month is too much, you could raise 30 kids comfortably on that amount of money, not 2 or 3. Jesus! The kids would only have had access to a better lifestyle because they lived with their high earning father. Now that party is over, and in 88% of cases forced upon the poor guy by his wife, she probably slept with the contractor whist he was out at work earning all that money, so now it's time to see what new daddy will do. That's not his problem.

      I'm worried about you Synnuh, I think you've got trouble ahead. You made the mistake of marriage and luckily come out the other side, next time may well have a far different outcome. Stay safe brah.

    Same can be said, I'm scared you're going to end up all by yourself on a death bed with nobody to give a damn because you had preconceived notions about women for so long.

    I know what you're saying, and I instantly dismiss a majority of the women I interact with as falling into that line of thinking -- wanting to be taken care of. The type of women you're categorizing them all as do exist. A majority of women fall into that category.

    There's women in the world that don't want jack you've got to offer other than yourself, too. Separate bank accounts isn't unheard of these days. If divorce does happen, for whatever reason, split the house down the middle and move on. You'll know before you get married how the relationship is going to go, though.

    My experience getting out of a bad marriage taught me quite a bit about how a good one should go. I'm not jaded because of what happened. I'm glad I learned the lessons I've learned.

    In the court's eyes it's not about how little you can raise a child on comfortably. It's about the lifestyle they were entitled to before the divorce. Being an active father involved in their child's life prevents being reamed over the coals, financially.

    You're obviously not going to get married and have children, so you won't get what I'm laying down. There's more to the picture than you're seeing, or letting on.

    Don't be scared for me lol, I know what I'm doing.

            That is shockin' stuff.

            But let me assure everyone: I am no maniacal slasher of groins.

            Even so, I figure we need a remake of the Addams Family — only with a contemporary replacement for the severed hand.

            Here's my storyboard for the trailer:

            New people move in next to the Addams', an' the guy starts cheatin' on his wife by discussin' his love of cross dressin' with Morticia.

            Guy's wife shows up lookin' for a fight, an' the "hand" comes wrigglin' out from behind a dusty ole grandfather clock like a one-eyed caterpillar SWAT team commander.

            "Don't make him angry," screams Morticia. "You won't like him when he's angry."

            Too late.

            The guy's wife brings a stilletto heel down on the undulatin' doom pipe's head, just as its skin starts ripplin'.

            Screen goes black.

            Screams.


            I would watch that movie, even if the "hand" was only a bit part.

So quite frankly, who gives a flying F what upsets women or what they perceive as cheating. What matters is that you don't put yourself at risk when she loses her mind and decides she's not happy anymore for WHATEVER reason!

              Men who get married have a 50% chance of losing most of their entire life's wealth and energy just because they once said I DO when they were young and clueless. Does that sound like a good bet to you? HELLA NOI Hence why I've never got married, never had kids and I'm VERY happy about that. FREEDOM never gets old brahs. Everyday is a sunny day when you live life on your own terms without being bogged down into domestic drudgery.

              Enjoy your relationships for what they are while they're fun, hot and exciting and then move on. Do that and you'll always get to walk away free and clear, happy and unscathed with some fond memories. And FFS don't get them pregnant eh, don't be a total F-tard!

              Men don't care about marriage and kids, it's something they get hassled into or feel obliged to do, go with the flow, keep her happy. I don't know one MAN who ever dreamed of his wedding day haha or enjoyed the thought of spending vast amounts of his hard on money on bringing up kids for literally no benefit to himself. He just woke up one morning and thought FFS how am I in this mess. And where the F has all my money gone, and that's before the divorce hits. The numbers don't lie, this is the cold hard truth.

              The easiest thing is to get married and have kids. Literally anyone can do it, it's that easy, and sadly, they do, those poor kids. Man is mostly stupid, he hands over his time, freedom and resources without thinking of the long term consequences. He simply doesn't understand that marriage is a LEGAL CONTRACT which has life changing consequences if he breaks the terms of that contract or has them unfairly broken on him. He just doesn't have the foresight to realise that people change over time. Change is fine, I just won't allow anyone to take me to the cleaners because they changed. I don't mind if you walk, you're just not going to walk with my stuff.

              Don't get screwed bros! Don't be that young guy who reads this and wishes they'd taken heed down the line, cos 50% of you are guaranteed to find yourself in the exact mess I describe. You want to chance those odds? HELLA NO!
              Yes, l knew one friend, who took the plunge, had a good, but boring job, selling, etc glasses, got married, (l was invited) and had one kid!

              He came over to visit me, a few years ago, with his, 7,8 year old child, and couldn't tell the kid to shut up enough?

              I found this surprising, considering it should be a father, child bond, playing baseball in the park, etc. But it seemed more of a, "why did, l do it"?

              No wonder a child changes your life, they have to, since most of your money is required.

              And l know there are some good memories there, but also some crap ones!

              A mother dragging her children around a shopping centre, in 40 degree heat, (outside) with two fighting and one screaming cannot be fun!

              There were two today having a screaming match, neither one, as far as l could tell?

              My friend, (as far as l could tell) had a happy ending, with him moving to another state and getting a more creative job.

              But l tend to agree with churning out kids,....when you are on your death bed, doesn't matter how big your family is, when you go that is it, well, unless you are nuts and have a AK-47 on standby?

              The first two years of any relationship are the best two years that relationship is ever going to have. The most sex, the most fun, the most carefree times, the most excitement. After that, marriage and kids, it's all downhill from there.

              Find the right girl, have an amazing time, just don't marry her, when it inevitably goes pear shaped, move on to the next amazing relationship with no penalties. If you won't help yourself brah, you'll probably learn the hard way. So be it.
              Hmmm, maybe, but l think you will end up like the fonze, an old, dirty man hitting on young women?

              I have to admit that l occasionally run into an attractive woman that is interested, but l suppose that l don't feel comfortable going in that direction.

              I usually go out with someone, because we have common interests and try to take it from there.

              And l did meet someone years ago, that was spiritual, and that l would have become serious with, but as usual she had a boyfriend in the shadows!

              But it troubles me none the less. It's so concerning as because women can't do math that's why they don't understand the value of money.

              Generally, women don't save, almost never invest and are the ones who mostly always build up the huge credit card and store card debts most families have. Hence why the malls are full of women. They're like shopping zombies programmed to spend money on absolute nonsense. All you married men, look around your homes at all the ridiculously expensive crap your wives have bought and ask yourselves, If I were single would I have bought any of that? OF COURSE NOT! What do we men want, just a decent sized TV and sports package, a few beers and some peace and quiet FFS!
              Well for me a decent tv, (mainly for DVD, computer games), sports package, (mainly for high def golf, the Sony classic in Hawaii, druel) well peace and quiet occasionally, and quality time for hobbies.


              From the moment you guys get engaged, the vast level of un-necessary expense begins. Apart from the obvious engagement ring and wedding ring costs of $1,000's, the average wedding in America costs $30,000 alone, then there's the MASSIVE ongoing expense of incoming kids, new nursery, bigger house, more kids, a bottomless pit of costs and domestic energy draining, time consuming, life sapping hassle, a life that has a 50% to fail whereby you'll lose your home. She'll be OK though so that's nice. She can then move on to the next guy and do it all again. You can't move on though cos you're still paying alimony and support forever.

              I feel for you guys, I really do.
              Yes, l can understand the kids bottomless financial hole, but most can plan for their retirement regardless, well save 100k and p*** it away, then go on the pension and have a 40% chance of losing your water, or l think that it was 20% change of losing your electricity, since their BS changes outpace your pittance paycheck!

              Oh, well, l will change the world soon enough?

              Yes, get married have kids, he comes back from war, becomes distant, and the wife cannot escape, since it is too hard financially.

              I could have been in a relationship years ago, but l won't go out with someone with virtually nothing in common, for the sake of getting ah,.....maybe not the best word, taking advantage of.

              Least l can live with myself.

    Marriage is a waste of time. Just a facade. If you love someone, stay with her for life. You don't need marriage to be together because it only changes the love.

    The usual pattern is emerging here. Everyone disagrees with me yet most of you are burdened with kids, have been through divorces, paying child support, moving from place to place dictated to by your failed relationships. Quite frankly you've all been running around like headless chickens. So silly and un-necessary. There must be a better way right? Well yes, yes there is.

    If you're a young single man reading this post and you've not yet had kids or been married. Re-read MY posts in this thread 20 times and don't listen to anyone else, they don't have a clue. They'd have you risking your life on the toss of a coin. I'm the only one here who has your back. I live my life by 3 rules. I have NEVER deviated from these rules and I'm happy as hell, EVERY DAY, no stress, no hassles, I've got enough money to do whatever I like, whenever I like cos no woman has spent it all and I'm not being kept on a tight leash like most of these guys. I always have 2-3 women under 27 on the go at any one time so I get a lot of QUALITY companionship and by quality I mean "I get laid" REGULARLY and then they leave and I can watch sports and chill with my friends.

    The 3 rules to win at life as a man.

    1. NEVER GET MARRIED! There are no exceptions to this rule. Don't do it! EVER!

    2. Never have kids unless you desperately want them like a big girls blouse, will love them dearly and ALREADY have your career or business sorted whereby you're making serious bank, have savings and investments and enough cash to grow all your interests unencumbered. You need to be wealthy to have kids if you really must have them. So you can afford a full time nanny to do all the boring tedious stuff of which most of it is. But honestly, just don't have them. Are you English Royalty? Do you want to carry on the royal bloodline? Then why are you being such a narcissist! Get real, just avoid having children at all costs if you can.

    3. NEVER LIVE WITH ANYONE! Never allow a woman to move into your place. Your home is YOUR castle. Only your name goes on the deeds! Never allow anyone to have any legal right to your house or any portion of it. Control your own environment from day 1. OWN the roof over your head and never allow a woman to stay over more than 2 nights max, preferably only 1.

    Follow these 3 basic rules and you will be so thankful to yourself when you get a little older. You will literally want to jump back in time to hug the younger you who made such amazing life decisions.

    Do you know what my married friends say to me? they say, Jesus dude, I'm in bed with my naked wife every night yet you get more action than me. My married friends are LUCKY to get sex more than ONCE PER MONTH! And thats ALL OF THEM. Most of them get sex less than that. Can you imagine that. TRAGIC! And that is because marriage KILLS sex between 2 people. Trust me, after 5 to 10 years you won't even want sex with your wife, you'll be thinking up ways to get out of it, not that she'll want it either, well not with you anyway.

    I have so much to teach, I can see that. Good job I got here when I did. I should charge for this stuff. I'm literally saving young warrior lives and ensuring they prosper and keep their fortunes. Happy days.

        NO baby, they're not prostitutes. And if you're interested, I've got enough love for a 4th. I mean I'll have to rotate you into the schedule but I'm willing to do that for you honey.

          Sorry ... it would be somewhat like using used toilet paper.... baby. I'd sooner have a roll of cookie dough explode in my vagina.
