wrote ............. I'm interested to know how others would deal with situation like the one I describe. == I would urge you to keep parent matters strickly between you and mom. Kids don't belong in that loop--ever. That's what I would stress to the mom. If she continues to pull that crap, keep a detailed record of each occurence and bring it up in court. Judges can rule on these behavioral matters. If she continues after that, she will be violating a court order. |

I'm actually learning to enjoy being single, and I mean totally single. My children would like me to find another woman, but I don't feel comfortable with the idea. I'm not in love with my ex anymore, but I'm afraid to get hurt again. It's a weird feeling; in particular at this time of the year with all those nice looking women in springtime clothes... you know what I mean? LOL |

The only difference now is that there is financial recourse for the dumped spouse especially if kids are involved. The statistics are clear - 85% of divorces are initiated by women over the objections of their husbands. It doesn't matter which criteria is used to measure this fact, it always comes up 85% of marriages are ended by women. Actually there is much more than just financial gains for women to take this action. They can also get favorable tax treatment, symapthy from their friends, emotional support from confidants who are aware of what they are doing, and the psychological motivator in knowing they will get custody of any children. When asked to disclose why they ended their marraiges woman rank the bad husband factors - abuse, neglect, affairs, drinking, drugs - very low. Instead, they list touchy-feely stuff like needing to find themselves, not feeling fulfilled, wanting to move on, and feeling they were growing apart as the factors leading up to divorce. Some men may argue that the finances are an encouragement for women to seek divorce. Perhaps it is. But that's the type of women they like, otherwise they wouldn't have married them. This is total crap! Neither men nor women know how a person is going to change over an extended period of time. And to make it worse, a statement like the one above assumes women are consistent and predictable and men make bad choices. I would bet there are a lot of people reading this that would say it's the other way around - Men are consistent and predictable and the women make bad choices because the women assume they can get men to change. |

I would say that many people living together become disenchanted with their partner, but their should be no government controlled program to financially reward anyone for making bad decisions. Once the kids are assured basic survival needs, that where the government authority ends! Let the parents squabble over lifestyle issues, why should the tax payer care if Johnny or Suzie has a new computer or attends tennis camp? |

Unless a child is being harmed in some way, it is absolutely NONE of the government people's business how such child is being cared for. Another of MANY reasons why the legitimacy of "child support" is debunked. |

Perhaps it is. But that's the type of women they like, otherwise they wouldn't have married them. The point here is that men have no way of knowing what the women they marry will be like 10-15 years after the wedding. It's a very strange idea to imagine that men marry women whom they want to divorce them, taking a good proportion of their assets in the process and forcing them to pay a high proportion of their net income in so-called "child support." Does this logic also apply to women--that everything that happens to them in life is what they WANT to happen? There's another point also. Many of the men who are being divorced by their wives got married at a time, and in a jurisdiction, where the rules about marriage were completely different from what they are now. But curiously, and by contrast to what happens in other legal matters, the divorce rules are changed by legislatures and then retroactively applied to all existing marriages. So no man ever knows what the rules are when he is getting married. He just has to wait and see what various sets of politicians will do during the course of his marriage. The last time I checked, it appeared that in the U.S. today, about 75 percent of divorces were initiated by wives over the objections of their husbands--and not for the traditional reasons like adultery, but predominantly (according to the research by Sanford Braver (see http://fathersforvirginia.org/articl...insofdads.htm)) for much more touchy-feely reasons like "we just grew apart." Very recently, there has emerged evidence that the U.S. divorce rate has begun to decline. However, some of the commentary suggests that this may be because fewer people are getting married in the first place. Perhaps one element in this is that men have finally begun to realize that, largely as a result of the effects of feminism over decades, marriage now has little to offer them. |
