Then they complain when the wife gets half of everything in the divorce and the men scream "but it's all mine!!! I made more money than she did!!" I don't feel sorry for these men. They were propped up in their careers by their wives, in most cases.

I have dozens of emails from the stbx telling me he needs me, can't function without me, life isn't worth living when I'm not there, etc. During the marriage I performed invaluable services for him. He never had to lift a finger when he wasn't at work and he certainly never volunteered. I did everything or it wouldn't have gotten done. I spent three years renovating HIS house because he claimed he couldn't do it and work too. Because of that I missed out on $100,000 of sales from my business and got NOTHING for all that work. He sold that house for $1 million.
This is the same guy who will say, when it comes to mediation:

I spent the entire marriage propping him up. I was a fool.
