Krsqk, <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Your statement 'assumes' that creeps (us men) are 'always' responsible. No matter the circumstances. That is just not true! I don't have 'quantifiable data', for that statement. But I do know myself, and I am by no means a creep. You assume if I drop someone, I owe her something. You have not asked the conditions, for me dropping this women!

I am sure Gloria Steinem could find a place for you in NWO! But that, and Ms Gloria are an entirely different subject!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Expect those protections to be abused by women. It seems that not only women can get screwed these days.

Guys, If you make good money... GET A VASCETOMY... It can be undone later.

I know of one Engineer who was used by a woman that wanted a child without the life time baggage of a man. She is getting more in child support than she could earn in a month. She has now ropped in a second sucker. If she snags a third one her income will be better than a college grad.

BTW, Both of these guys are such obnoxious creeps, it is hard to feel sorry for them.

Um, in my case, I was the one dumped when she got done with me.
I don't think it is gender specific.
Beyond that a lot of people who tryed to consol me talked ahout the origens of marriage and its purpose.
< Again, I have no data to back this up. It is more of speculation >
The ideas that were talked about were along the lines of:
1) Marriage < in what ever form it takes / took > Is for the rearring of children. Once that is achieved it is no longer nessasary.
2) When a human life span was 40 to 60 years there was less chance you would grow apart
3) It has also been suggested that that there are so many more aspects to life that we continue to grow / change / develop in so many more ways. It makes sence that two people would "grow appart".
Food for thought.

Re: Advise
 

I meant no offense to anyone here who has been on the victim end of a bad marriage. Historically (and maybe stereotypically), it's been men who have abused the marriage relationship. It is ironic, with the increasing "empowerment" of women, that the traditionally male vices are becoming more common with women (for example, drinking/swearing, which used to be almost exclusively the domain of men). I agree that many women are looking for men to take advantage of, and they are "creeps" just as much as men can be.

Re: Advise
 

one of my coworkers recently told me about his exwife. she has been married 5 times since their divorce and he was #3 at the time. the thing i found humorous about his story was that all the ex-husbands have used the same lawyer when divorcing her as he knows the history.

No offence taken. That is what discussion is for. An exchange of ideas, concepts, facts, and factoids. (in no particular order)

Re: Advise
 

Krsqk, no offense taken here either. And I meant no offense. The great up=swing in the women movement, has indeed realigned society. Whether this is good or bad is another topic altogether. My comments are from my observations. Not a life experience. Although I have had those as well. I don't think ALL women are evil. I know some that are, and some that are not!

OK, it's funny. But that doesn't change my mind about the ladder!
