Divorce/Separation process

or she could be exaggerating.

It's interesting when someone says this because it comes across as defensive and guilty because you relate it to your own personal situation.

Something you'd like to share with the class?

I think some men believe that if they are bringing home a paycheck, putting food on the table, roof over head, etc...what else do they need to do.

Well when it comes time for separation and divorce then those same women only care about that same money from that same man.

So appreciating the cash during the marriage is not really asking for too much from the ladies.

I'm basing what I said on the fact that we are only hearing her side and you rush to her defense as if everything she says is true. She could be exaggerating or he could be out a lot because he is screwing around.
And yes I do have experience with a woman that got tired of being a wife and a mother and wanted to go out and play. She tried to play the good mother in custody court and her exaggerations fell flat.
What's your story because you sound pretty defensive yourself?

And then there are the women that believe that their man doing all of the above is a given, happens effortlessly, automatically, magically,and invisibly, and has nothing to do whatsoever with anything else she might want him to do...the 'yeah, whatever..but I have neeeeds to..what about meeee" thing can be taken a bit too far..

Been there..collected the scars. Suffice to say, making a marriage work is very much a team effort. Not everyone is cut out for team sports.

Avoid at all costs

Divorce sucks! Avoid it at all costs if you can...the grass isn't always greener on the other side. It sounds like he has good qualities otherwise you wouldn't with him so try and work out the kid stuff. Some guys just don't know how to be compassionate fathers...just saying seperation is a prelude for divorce and it's impossible to "work" on things if you're not under one roof. I'm not trying to :. Hope things work out for you

I totally agree. Marriage is definitely a two way street. I guess I was trying to say your (husband/wife) responsibility doesn't end with earning a paycheck. You still need to come home and be a husband/wife, mother/father. Marriage is definitely a team sport!!
