I’ve read through this thread, and there are a lot of horror stories here. And a lot of bitter people.
But, honestly? Men: stop marrying assholes.
If you can’t spot one…well, that’s not the fault of feminism, or a biased court system, or prime time television.
It’s a failure of perception, on your part.
I was with the same woman for eight years, and we bought a house together, and we didn’t get married. Why? Because, although we loved each other, at some level we both knew we probably didn’t want to spend the rest of our lives together. While we were together, we split every bill down the middle, and when we broke up and sold the house, we split the profits down the middle.
We still talk often. She’s one of my best friends.
Why?
Because she’s not an asshole.
I honestly don’t get people who enter into a supposedly lifelong arrangement with someone and then “discover” that the person is a miserable fraud or a vicious, emasculating bitch. *Every* time I’ve been hurt by a woman it’s because I *chose* to ignore the red flags.
People are complicated. They change. But, absent major head trauma, they generally don’t do it overnight. That bitch you married was a bitch when you married her. You just failed to notice it.
