My experience:
*Parents got married.
*My mother paid off my dad's college debt.
*My mother basically had to handle all financial matters since she had to work (and earned majority of money).
*They had kids (2).
*They divorced (I think I was 3 yrs old at the time - can't really say for sure).
-I latter found out it was my dad that had already started seeing someone (sort of)
-My mother NEVER spoke negatively about my dad in front of us or let anyone else (so we could still enjoy time with our dad)
*Court ruled my dad had to pay child support.
*Dad never did.
*Mother raised 2 kids on her own (and they turned out wonderful IMHO ) .
I love my dad and wouldn't trade him for another dad for anything, just pointing out to all you women bashers that men do the same thing. Even if men are supposed to pay doesn't mean they actually pay. It's pretty darn hard to raise 2 kids and work full time without any help. Both remarried even after that experience. I plan to eventually marry, but will fully know what I'm getting into ahead of time. Not flaming, just informing.
Yup, men do indeed screw over their wives from time to time just like women screw over their husbands.
My Mom has been married to the same man for over 30 years now and a short time ago he was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor. What does he do. He signs over power of attorney to his son who then tries to take EVERYTHING from my mother. The house they bought together and which SHE made the down payment on (after selling HER house to do so) and pretty much everything else.
