Just remember that the next time you see a pretty shirt walking down the street in front of you. For a man who has been married, it can be a very lonely life when he loses his family and everything he has worked for. Geez, you men just have to make better choices in your women. My personal philosophy is, no women should ever get married until they are financially independent and should continue to improve their education and skills while married, just in case. But, the sad truth is, there are some men who like it when the woman is dependant on him. But what happens if the marriage ends, the man has no choice but to continue to support the woman and children for years or until she gets on her feet, if ever. Its a documented fact that most divorced women and children live beneath the poverty line. What's the answer. Education and financial independence, fair division of property accumulated during marriage, joint custody of the kids, no abdication of responsibility on either side. Doug, I'm afraid this is an idealistic world I am portraying and one that we have not achieved yet. Good night ze gyp
