Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Marital Advice... Retrospect.

I agree. That sentiment means nothing more than rolling over and putting up with an unhappy wife. Walking on eggshells to keep a nag happy?? Nope. Fugg that shidt.

I thought the counter-move was to tell her...."less bitchin, more kitchen".....lol

Or how about......"Happy man, no more banging your hot sister".....lol

I used to live in a community property state and now I live in an “equitable division” state. The community property regime is substantially better than one that lets the judge make it all up on the back end. Community property laws specify in advance what constitutes community and separate property. Separate property includes property owned before the marriage, property donated specifically to one spouse during the marriage (such as manual gifts and inheritances). There also is some community property that can be managed by one spouse, such as certain business interests, even if the other spouse has an ownership interest. There may some reimbursement rights if community property is used to enhance separate property or vice versa. (The same concepts generally apply to debts.) But, the parties to a marriage know exactly on the front end how property is going to be divided and debts will be allocated if there is a split. If people cannot understand on the front end that property acquired during the marriage, with some exceptions, will be community property and equally divided, they really should consider whether they want to get married, and perhaps discuss the division of labor, or they can vary any of that with a pre-nup prior to getting married.

As for no fault divorce, you may be right if it results in people not attempting to work things out, but I submit that it is the way it should be. A person should not be forced to stay in a marriage that s/he does not want to be in. If people do not even attempt to resolve their differences, they were a wrong fit from the beginning.

Child support is the responsibility of both parents. The manner in which property is divided and the earning potential of each parent (whether working or not) should have an impact on that.

The fact is 80% of divorces are being filed by women. Don't delude yourself and think this is because they are married to "bad men", because by and large, that is not the case. They are chasing the "bigger better deal", and why not when they can fund their new life style with ex's hard work.

No fault divorce, is a great deal for women, but on the whole, it and the current family court system is a bad deal for men.

Hey...you skipped the retrospect part. It's nice that your wife gives you permission to buy guns though.

Child support is the responsibility of both parents.

If your wife is even half way attractive, what happens when she tells the judge "but I'm unhappy, give me half of his stuff, the kids, child support and a life style I'm accustom to", while going through the 200 thirsty dude on her social media just waiting to bang her?

Of course, for those with wives who are either obese, or morbidly obese, as is the case with over 40% of women in America today, and a face that looks like 20 miles of a bad gravel road, your suggested strategy might work.

Mine keeps me because I make her laugh and take her dancing on Saturday nights. The dancing got me that girl in early 84. We are going tonight, she wears her fitbit on her boot, be 5 to 6 miles tonight, 8 to around 1:00 AM. My ass be dragging tomorrow, was a time I could do that three or four nights a week, two is tough now, went for three hours last night. She cut me a break since I’m working today.

I hear ya. I'm just trying to inject some humor.

I've seen the elephant. Two failed marriages in my 20's.

Got married for the third time at 35 years old. Just recently turned 60, and celebrated 25 good years together.
