Keep telling me how women are attracted to you if you are rich. Keep spreading that lie. They aren't attracted to you. They are attracted to your resources. They will do the absolute bare minimum in the bedroom to ensure the spigot of those resources is turned on, even if the bare minimum is no sex at all.
That's awful! I'm glad I'm not rich or married. Ok, well I wouldn't mind being rich.

I seriously doubt anybody, regardless of sex, doesn't give off any indicators as to what their intentions are while you're dating.
I find it extremely hard to believe that these women showed their hand at the last moment and took the men completely by surprise. You always knew who she was, you just thought you could change her.
Yep
Especially in a day and age when people date longer and later in life before marriage.
I'm sure there are exceptions, women who just totally change course and wreck something out of the blue, but I just can't imagine that is often the case. I come across people who talk about how they don't know their SO's financial situation, preference for children or religious thoughts, etc. after 2-3 years of dating, and it just totally baffles me.
What do these people talk about to not have a clue about what the future holds for them? I think often it's what you say, where people just ignore the signs.

I'd guess the divorced folks on here might have a different take. Many of them said they'd never get married if they could do it all over.
You shouldn't have to get married to have a deep, romantic interpersonal relationship with a woman. It's an outdated institution that clearly doesn't fit everyone. We all have different body dimensions, so we buy different clothes. We have different aptitudes so we have different jobs/careers. We have so many different personalities and preferences but so many more people end up getting married when it doesn't fit.
Culture simply hasn't caught up to that reality.
Good for you that you found someone that fits you and that marriage fits you. Good people get married all of the time and go through a lot of misery when all that was wrong is that the institution of marriage didn't fit what they had together.

I don't think the institution of marriage does anything. It's an inanimate concept. Really, this just comes down to the cost associated with dissolving a relationship.
Marriage tends to accompany stressful things that may be more likely avoided outside of marriage. Of course, those things can exist fully outside of marriage, so I don't think marriage as an institution is the problem.
I think the number of couples that would somehow be happy with kids, combined finances, etc. outside of marriage, but miserable as married, is practically non-existent.

well this point of view dooms future generations due to the dismantlement of traditional values.

Six months after that we got divorced (yes, she got half plus alimony plus child support).

And by traditional values, you mean involving the government in your relationships.

i used to be 100% on the divorce always favors women and screws men bandwagon.
unfortunately, a (former) close friend of mine has shifted my tune on that.
basically, he started out as a small time realtor, his wife worked for him, helped build an empire, got pregnant, he wanted her to stay home, she did, and he went on to millions.
then now that he had money, he buys season tickets to longhorn games, buys guns all the time, doesn't get home till late every night, buys new stupid cars every year, then starts banging an employee while his wife is pregnant with their third child. all the while he is a shite father who just buys his kids stuff to buy affection.
so then his wife gives him 4 or 5 opportunities to get his act together. he lies and says he's cut it off while he's still with his side chick. she catches him every time. he doesn't want the divorce because his reputation is as a christian dude. so now he gets to keep being a shite father every other weekend, while his wife has 3 kids to raise.
so in that situation, eff him, i hope she gets everything. hard to say because the guy was honestly my first friend when i moved here and was a great guy. he just let money, success, and fun dictate his happiness.
that being said, it's rare, but i do understand why sometimes the stay-at-home wife gets the benefit.

Your friend's husband sounds like a POS. In a divorce proceeding, she will most likely get custody, child support, alimony and one-half of the estate. However, even in situations like your friend's, I have a problem with permanent alimony and equitable distribution.
First, permanent alimony is an incentive for women to remain unemployed or underemployed. It also encourages women not to remarry.
Second, while your friend may have contributed to the value of her husband's business by working there, it should not result in her being entitled to one-half of its value.
In my opinion, being a terrible spouse should have no bearing on an individual's right to essentially seize property or money that is the product of another's skill, work or both.

My wife is a doctor, and I'm a teacher. So she sure as hell didn't marry me for resources. Know who you are marrying. With friends who get divorced none of them surprised me after meeting the woman and knowing the mans personality.

agreed. i mean i hope he gets raped over the whole thing but they just need to make it where she can get a job and support the kids based on child support. she's not a vindictive woman as i can tell, she just wants to make sure her kids can survive on CS and her income.

What I don't understand are the people who are cheaters by nature. They were cheating before they got married, they have always cheated.. then they decide to get married as if they will automatically stop cheating.. Then they keep doing what they have always done... They get caught then they are fricked.
There is a fricked up side of not getting married. My dad use to complain about a guy he worked with. This guy was a mechanical engineer at albemarle (well before albemarle bought the company that was eythal). He had three kids with his "girlfriend". They lived together and was like any other family, however; without getting married, she was considered a single mother of three... So she was able to get government benefits, food stamps, etc...So as a couple, they had the income of a mechanical engineer plus monthly government checks.. Whatever they pay to single parents with 3 kids and food stamps.
