Then it takes all you have to recompense her “damages” and keep yourself out of prison–amazing how men always seem to lose those “he said,she said” cases.
My friend Tom married a beautiful-but-spoiled Princess — runner-up for Miss California, in fact. Four years later he caught her cheating (which she had been doing even before they were married). To get the house, all their money, and custody of their two-year-old daughter, she used nuclear weapons: she accused him of child molestation. She got everything. Since there was no evidence, he never went to trial — but he lost his standing in the community and nearly lost his job.
This made his life a living hell for the next several years … until she did something extremely stupid, he got the divorce proceedings reopened, and she admitted in court, under oath, that she had made everything up. This took care of some of his problems, but his ex had pretty much screwed up their daughter’s head by that point. And she still kept the house and other assets, of course.
Here’s the kicker: What do you think the consequences to her were for her admitted perjury? … Hah! Not a damn thing.
Gosh, why do men complain that the system is stacked against them?
