They both have their disadvantages and advantages, but being single will actually free you of a major headache. One headache being an accidential pregnancy and she won't abort!

I'd run as fast as possible. She tracks me down, shes a goner.

We can divorce, sure, but I will not leave them.
Your sons are lucky to have you. Your wife is a fool.
I wish you good luck - this world needs more men like you

When my father left our family, the money he was paying my Mom for me (which we literally had to fight for) seemed to be the only thing he was missing.
Absolutely. It's as if kids are just something men have to endure while the marriage lasts and after divorce they are nothing more than a paycheck, a financial burden and a damn pain in the ass for that.

As if there are no emotions involved

I always thought kids were a pain in the ass.. I have a lot of friends that have kids they love me too! so when I come over they want to play thats very cool. I love how happy they are to see me, I also love being able to give them back to their parents at the end. HAHAHAA. It's like using your friends car thats fun to drive to too expensive to have you use it and give it back and still get to enjoy it. lol

I know a set of people who like children but don't want to have their own. But we are talking about fathers who say the only disadvantage of divorce is having to pay child support. What about not being with them? What about love? What kind of father gets mad for having to pay child support but thinks it's fine if he's not with the kids for months?

Well, aren't you just a real piece of work! A real man who can take responsibility for his own actions. Keep the mouse in the house if you don't want to take responsibilty for the consequences of unforced actions.

Remeber you don't bring sand to the beach!

Don't get me wrong, its not about sleeping around, I am in my mid 40's so those days are long gone. I just enjoy getting up and going when I want where i want I only worry about me.

I think marriage is great too, it just is not for me.

Definetly not me either, no kids no wife I'm a happy camper. I feel bad for the kids of the future seeing is how it's getting dimmer and dimmer. But people WANT to have kids their actions will cause people to suffer things I would never want my kids to... and thats why I say NO to kids.
