Idle, bickering conversation ensues only because the corn is sleeping. DO NOT PROD NOW.

Most divorces don't end on friendly terms. Out of curiosity, what did you end up being forced to pay to her and how old were your kids when the divorce happened?
No pre-nup but I gave her the house we lived in at the time. Zero fault state so no alimony...but I payed substantial support for the kids. Worked out to about 50k for each kid..pretty cheap imo. This does not count the cars, clothes, college fund and endless trips to the mall typical of young girls. Kids were pre-teen at the time..just spent a great day with them actually..was real nice.

Meh..I disagree completely. I have been divorced now for 10 years after 17 years of a mostly wonderful marriage, I have 3 beautiful children and a solid relationship with my ex that I would not trade for the world. Marriage and life are what you make of it. If you put a negative connotation on something it will most likely be that in reality. Just a thought.
Yeah, but you have to realize that your relationship with your ex is the exception and not the rule. Most men get royally screwed over by the ex-wives, both during the whole rotten, depressing marriage and then afterward. Sounds like you didn't. Also sounds like you had substantial disposable income to spend on your teenage daughters, and a willingness to do it. Very antithesis to what most men have post-divorce.

So a house, cars and a small fortune in essentially cash. And what did she give you? What does she keep giving you, other than letting you stay out of jail? Honestly doesn't sound like a great deal to me. And my understanding is that this is a relatively good case by american standards?

It is cowardice to only ask questions of others and to share no information about yourself. How did you come to be such a coward?

If he is the exception to the rule he is not the exception to rule because of luck, but because of a series of choices he made throughout his life most likely. Even if your initial premise is true it doesn't mean anything to someone in his shoes. He doesn't need to realize his exception. Exceptional people have no need to realize their exceptional nature. They can of course, but they don't need unexceptional people preaching it to them.

And tried peacocking and telling everyone what a great swinger you are with the all ladies. Mmmkay... how about intellectually, honestly, fucking off?

I'm not going to say you are wrong Torque, even with the use of the word "most". I am, however, going to point out that there are very divergent norms in different subcultures. In my peer group, while nearly all former couples have moved on from their procreative pair bonds, the norm is of friendship and cooperation in the remaining child rearing responsibilities...but then I tend to hang out with grown ups.

Hey here's a suggestion. Instead of reading statistics and asking questions of us on this forum, why don't you start asking questions of yourself? Like, for instance, "how the hell can I become a better person, smarter, healthier, less fearful, more entertaining, more positive and more of the type of person I would be in an ideal world."
Nah, forget all that shit. Just move to Thailand. Beautiful young women go crazy for us fat old dudes.

You are absolutely right about my "unexceptional" comment seemingly directed at you. It was not fair or kind. I imagine you are mostly likely exceptional in many ways. But spouting off tired stereotypes about divorce makes you seem very unexceptional in that category, although I don't know anything about you in that category for certain.
