Well I don't know the guy. I just know that everyone says the same thing: 'doesn't apply to me.' Impossible for 'everyone' to fit into that very small boat. So a lot of those people are wrong.

Yeah. Maybe, with divorce so prevalent and the process causing such hard feelings, we should do away with marriage as we now know it.

One problem these days is that men seem to marry women who have less money than they, less earning capacity. Then when the marriage falls apart, she has a claim on his assets. If he used good judgment up front, in choosing a fitting partner that would not happen. I think men like to be looked up to, they (some) like to be in charge and there are a lot of very pretty girls who know how to feed into that weakness.

The bigger problem comes with the children. Both parties are responsible for that. What if there should be no children born without proof of parentage AND both parents must show proof that they can afford to support the child?

And sadly, no matter how often we tell other posters about our wonderful men and their feelings for us there are always those who just don't want to hear the truth

I don't think it applies to everyone. Only the people who are saying it. They are not everyone. Most people probably don't say it because it doesn't apply.

Well, we are in a minority, but that minority is still comprised of a boat load of people. I'll also add that my hubby is looking damn hot lately.

ok Braunwyn that is fine. It's not that I don't want to 'hear the truth' but looks at how the majority of them behave and acts and of course you have to come to the conclusion that there's a very small percentage that are decent and going to stick around for the long haul. Everybody want to squeeze their situation into that percentage if you ask them. So I say there is an expiration date and many don't know what it is.

Right - even if happily married people are a minority, we are still a very large minority. And people need to know that good, happy marriages are possible and do actually exist

Ditto on the hotness thing

Didn't mean you in particular "don't want to hear the truth" - was actually referring to the guys here, and on all the other threads, who think all married men are somehow miserable and want "out"

Yeah they exist and I don't give a about finding one. I just want some every now and again like the guy in the other thread without paying for it.

Oh Okay.

Well lump me in with that b/c I believes they are miserable and wants to find a way out and likely will do so in the near future unfortunately for the wives . They're never happy with the status quo, grass is always greener, etc.
