if you feed that dog he wont dig in the trash can. if you had treated him like that b4 marriage he would have dumped you so fast you would have gotten whiplash.

Right, and the reasons like I said in another response are "all in the same".

That's probably the norm

Better yet, don't marry a dog.

So, you hear one side of various stories, have no experience with relationships, yet you're heading the parade. lol

Again, I 100% support your efforts. Some people should not marry.

And you should treat people in the way you wish to be treated. But if you don't, some people will still tolerate it in the interest of "keeping their word".

It's not just various stories, it's also stories of females that have refused to do things they did for the Man before getting married that after the "I DO's" stopped doing and dangles those things only as a one time reward for every one of her extravagant want. But it doesn't stop her from giving those "gifts" to a "Bad Boy" in cases.

Ahhh, and yet another piece of the puzzel falls into place.

A good percentage of Men do this more so to keep their life savings intact.

Doing what things, specifically? And who is she? Can you please tell me who she is for once. Pick a person in your life, in this thread or this forum so I know what you're talking about. Let it be someone you actually have some kind of communication with.

What a crock.

Did you know that most men stay in a marriage until the kids turn 18 and then bail, thus springing the suprise he's had a plan with after all those years and years she invested and he never says squat for 10 years,

That supports the idea that if they (men) had shared custody they wouldn't hang in wasting time. Both parties could move on to happier times with other people!

I don't know what more I can say, since "money" has never been very important to me. But keeping my word is. When I promise a commitment to someone, I mean it. It's not just something I say at the time. And I'm more than willing to work things out if it comes to that. But I've never even been given that opportunity in my relationships--she just bails. At least, with it not being a "legally binding" commitment, there's no need to go to court over it.
