Quote From: robertbanfThis is certainly one of the saddest topics for any guy to read. Marriage is a complete financial, emotional, and social negative for any male. Whatever it might have been in the past, (if any better) it's now about woman who make less money than you, have less education, are younger and have less job experiance, taking your wallet and house when the leave with YOUR kids.
I can't believe any man would put up with any woman who wanted him to sign a poison oppressive contract like anglo-saxon marriage.
This institution should be dumped like it's other great 19th century peculiar institution, slavery.
You sound like a very bitter man who has been hurt by some selfish female and for that I am sorry but there are some wonderful women out there as well as some great men who love the idea of marriage, it's a beautiful experioence when there is love, respect, honor, trust, communication, working together, and so much more. When I first met and started dating myhusband, he had no job, when we did marry, he was making min. wage, I am the one who was bringing int he money and he was the one who wasn't so sure about marriage, as a matter of fact, I have more education then he does and I have a whole lot of experiences and skills. Now, my husabnd is the smart one,LOL, he is the computer geek who learns soemthing over night and all that good stuff, but whatever the case, we ahvea great marriage, soon to be 14 yeaars and still loving and respecting one another. We are both raising our children together and will as long as we are both living and our children are under our care, marriage is great, it's just a matter of whether or not the couple works together to make their marriage loving and lasting, please don't take your anger, frustrations and bitterness out on everyone else and don't blame the marriage institution for your negative experiences, it actually comes down to the two who made the vows, unfortuanetly, in this day, there are too many people who doesn't know what it means to make and keep a vow and that is the sad thing. Get some help or whatever, but don't believe for one second that everyone is going to go through what you did, or have seen in your life. I am sorry for whatever brought you to this place, but some of us are very happy and fullfilled in our marriages, it's possible, not easy but possible. :)
