do you talk to people the same way you write to them?
Actually, yes
You have a very unique way of phrasing things, and sometimes your points seem a little obtuse. I'm just wondering if maybe English is not your first language? Seriously curious...
thought you would never ask.
50+% divorce, 75% filed by women. why do they do it? can you shut old baldy up about their spending and pocket 1/2 million settlement with nothing more than a phone call to a lawyer?
youbetcha.

definition of obtuse,----- lacking sharpess, intellect, blunt

No, not pointing out a character flaw at all - this is not about character. I'm seriously asking if English is your first language, that's all.
I asked for the divorce in my marriage, however, it was amicable. My ex wife had changed her mind about having children, and being almost several years older than I, I could understand. She would have been 40/41 if we had a child. I would not force, or trick her into it, and she would not deny me the happiness. We both had our own wealth, nothing was split, though she did keep the dogs.
So, there is another reason why people divorce, some want a family.

She kept the dogs??
That would have been the fight of the century in my house.

I just don't understand why such an important issue wasn't discussed beforehand...

What makes you think it was not? We did in fact discuss, and planned our home for it. In fact, her sisters both had kids just before we started thinking of it. One sister had two, and loved it, the other had one and hated it. My ex was going to be 41 with a new baby, she just did not feel it was best anymore for her.
I was/am younger by almost 6 years, so I did not feel as if my time was up. It was difficult for both of us, but something I just had to do. She understood, and we agreed to divorce, though she tried to see if I would be happy without a family, and I asked her 'how would I know?'.
Funny thing about the dogs though, through our marriage she became so attached to the dogs; as one other poster alluded to. She treated them as if they were our "children", and the more I wanted kids, the more I resented that. I think the dogs were a proxy for children to her, though she would never admit it, but some here will know how much a dog can become part of the family. In fact, I agree, our dogs were important to us, just not more than kids to me.
