Is Steve H. your son? brother? clone? :) Sure sounds like you...

If you had written that, you would have been as guilty of generalization as Steve H. When I divorced years ago, I left and asked for nothing. I filed for divorce and petitioned the court for joint custody and asked for no child support. The court established support payments from my ex anyway. I told my ex to only do what he felt was right. My biggest mistake was thinking that being more than fair would make for a more peaceful existence for my children. It didn't. If someone is an ass, they remain an ass regardless of their gender.

Too bad he did not get alimony from you too!

Right on Tessa. Like it's our fault that these guys can't tell the difference between a real woman and a golddigger.
When I got my first divorce, I had to give the bastid every thing I owned, including my 60 Dodge Dart and a significant chunk of extortion money before he would sign the papers. The judge hollered at me for not soaking him. I was like just give me my ticket to ride and let me get out of here. It was worth it to never have to talk to the SOB again. Didn't take a cent from the second husband either. Maybe if these guys used the head above their shoulders instead of the one below their belt, they wouldn't have such bad luck with wimmin.

TC: My ex was an alcoholic. He refused help. I still loved him, although I couldn't live that way. I felt he had enough problems without my adding to them, so I tried to part ways as best I could for his sake and the sake of my children. There was no reason for me to pay him alimony. But, don't you worry. I paid dearly, even for the liberal visitation I requested. On a visit to see his father, my son (a teenager) was allowed to drink. He was struck by a car and killed while walking with a friend. My ex shot himself in the head. They are now buried together. There wasn't much else I had to give. But I can assure you, I would rather have paid alimony.

Oh the joy of listening to women whine about how tough they had it in family court. *cough*

Spare me. The family court system in this country has been so distorted by the feminazis and PC judges that, for men, marriage is a losing game even if they DO decide to play, along the lines of the old joke, "Would you rather be stabbed or shot?"

And women wonder why fewer and fewer American men are saying I do these days? Nothing to wonder about, ladies - you took romance and marriage and ripped its throat out. Nobody wants it - or you - anymore.

You also need fingers when your dick gives out... unless it's bionic.
