As a man who has been through a divorce… thank God for no-fault. If I had to defend myself again her lies and insane conspiracies in a court it would have bankrupted me. She made up some cruel stuff to justify the divorce to her friends.

If no-fault divorce is removed, I honestly believe the spousal murder rate will rise. There is too much emotion and anger in divorce to get into assigning fault.

“Marriage is a fine institution – designed to eradicate such emotions as passion or romance. ” Hyacinth Bucket.

Actually marriage has been pretty good to me, but both my wife and I know what it takes. Basically, if you can’t make marriage #1 work, #2 and beyond probably won’t work either. It is too easy to get married in this country.

But remember that divorce frequently involves children and it’s hardest on them. If you’re unhappy in your marriage, you’re basically not trying hard enough. Tough it out. (unless there’s no kids, then sheesh, if you’re too lazy to make it work, get out – I won’t thump my Bible at you).

We were told that being pro-abortion was pro-choice for women. But if you are a man and choose not to support that child, you are a dead beat dad. Birth is pro-choice for a woman but the choice for a man is pay up or go to jail.

70% of all divorces filed today are done so by women. Studies have shown the overwhelming majority are not due to violence despite feminazi complaints to the contrary. The most common male response to an unhappy marriage is not confrontation but withdrawl.

The most common reason women file for divorce given is “neglect”. Let me use a more realistic term for neglect: boredom or lack of excitement. That is right besides providing a stable home, you are supposed to be Mr. Entertainer as well.

And while you will see constant TV references to men screwing around on their spouses, you rarely will see the reverse. And the guilty party is never the other woman; it is always the man. Bill Clinton nearly got impeached; Monica got a $2 million deal from Weight Watchers.

Marriage is such a bad deal for men, I have no idea why anyone would be dumb enough to do it today. You aren’t marrying just a woman but you are also marrying the government which is entirely on her side.

One last thing about the pro-choice, pro-it’s my body feminazi movement alive today. If a woman’s body truly is her own, why can’t she sell it as a prositute as she can in other countries? The reason has little to do with morals. The idea that abortion is more moral than prostitution is laughable. No, prositution would allow men to by sex from women on the cheap. It has nothing to do with morals; it is about getting the highest possible price for sex.

So why did I loose half of my pension and 401k, my house and my favorite car so she could live with a new boyfriend?

I bet she had that same face during sex.

Anything that doesn’t prohibit the Britney’s of the world from getting hitched at some Vegas “chapel” – by an Elvis impersonator – can’t also make it harder to annull such mistakes [when the drugs wear-off].

Isn’t that what the “Covenant” marriage idea was all about? Harder to get, and harder to get out of?

Don’t Mormons take it a step further? Regular marriages are “Till death do us part”, while Temple marriages are still binding after death [in Heaven].

The artical is bullshit, by the way… No-fault divorce does not increase the divorce rate. It decreases the unhappiness rate.

And I’ll fight any puritanical Bible thumping son of a bitch that want to stick their holier than thou nose into the private matters of me, my hypothetical wife, or the lives of any other mature adults.

Not surprising though to pass laws making divorce easier, and the divorce rate goes up?

Inequities no matter what you do, so put the emphasis on FREEDOM of association? I still have a “feeling” that the general rule should be no fault but that the eggregious cases of fraud should still be allowed. I’m not talking annulment. But when people lie, cheat, and steal throughout a marriage and then file for half the other person’s stuff, a line has been crossed that no fault does not appropriately recognize.

I’d like to see some (any?) entry requirements (yes, paradoxally an impediment, there goes my FREEDOM concern–put it under “informed consent”). Any program that did not reduce the number of marriages would be a failure. Any such program should concomitantly reduce the number of unhappy marriages and divorces that result.
