The new smart financial move is walking away

Um, dave…

Has it ever occurred to you that happily married men don’t generally hang around with guys who have such an obvious disdain for marriage, monogamy, and women?[/quote]

No, it hasn’t. I know a (very) few happily married men and they appear to enjoy hanging around with guys who have an obvious disdain for marriage and monogamy. I have no disdain for women, which I’ve explained in prior posts ad nauseum. Quite the contrary, in fact. Just because a man doesn’t want to marry a woman doesn’t imply that he disdains them. That’s an absurd argument if you think about it.

[quote=CA renter]
Also, why do you think they are honest with you (when telling you they’d prefer to be divorced) when they are dishonest with their wives (assuming they tell their wives they like being married)?[/quote]

Because the price of their honesty with me is zero. The price of their honesty with their wives is potentially enormous. You cannot honestly be confused about this.

[quote=CA renter]
Happy people tend to hang around other happy people, and happily married couples tend to hang around with other happily married couples because we don’t like to hear or see other couples tearing each other apart and hurting one another. [/quote]

If that helps you sleep at night, then by all means…

[quote=CA renter]
Some of us (yes, even men!) really enjoy being married and being a part of something bigger and better than ourselves. Is it always easy? No way. Does it require personal sacrife? Yes! Is it worth it? For many of us, HELL YES!!! :)[/quote]

Different strokes for different folks.

Of course they are. 🙂

I’ve always thought this was a silly argument: “You want to stay single because you’re selfish.” It’s right up there with, “You don’t want children because you’re selfish.” YOU got married because YOU wanted to, right? You weren’t doing it as a favor to someone else. YOU wanted to get married [/quote]

I absolute agree.

Of all the things that humans do, I can’t think of anything more selfish than having sex to create a replica of themselves and perpetuate their own breed.
