Jenny shove it

Answer 2

Yes, there are many men trapped in marriages they want to end. However, the same applies to women. Especially those who are stay at home moms and have no careers to support themselves if they did leave the marriage. It is a tough situation either way.

Answer 3

Pre-Numpt Gentleman,Pre-Numpt.Before getting Married because you can retain more assets in the future.You can set the maximum amount of assets and alimony your ex can get during her lifetime.Children?Book an excellent attorney on standby.

Answer 4

Yes, it does occur; men are creatures of such emotions such as love and worry.  Pardon me for being blindsided in this issue; in some way they would much rather lose the house if it means they can always see and be with their kids; even if it means they can provide better for them; for many men their kids are number one in their hearts.

Answer 5

yes

all I'm going to say to this and it wont mater because you will be going through it soon as she decides she wants it to end.

dsds you are so right about that i can testify to it as i am a victim of it.

lol don't sweat it deep throwt there are some thumbs down happy people here lol you got 4 were i only got 3 so far , I'm jealous

Answer 6

I sure am.  I've been married too long and fear I wouldn't be left with anything, not even retirement. I hate the marriage and the occasional s*x, like today is horrible. No one should ever have to go through this torture.

Answer 7

I have noticed lots of guys on this site whigeing and complaining about this topic..... It never ends....

I bet these men weren't complaining when she gave up her job to stay at home and raise the babies, while they continued on their career! I bet that was very convenient for them! Just because men are the ones getting the money doesn't mean they are the only one's 'earning' it in the relationship!

With that attitude, no wonder women get fed up with you guys!

Now it's women's fault for 'trapping' guys in to marriage? Are you really that stupid and maleable guys?? Can't make informed decisions for yourself?

Keep balming everyone else for your own decisions... go on, keep whingeing.

Or you could try to look at it from her perspective for once - But that would take a real man! (And those are all still happily married).

Answer 8

The thought of young men getting trapped into marriage breaks my heart. women are the only ones who win in marriage. She controls it all, demanding this and that and takes everything out of the marriage and contributes little. This is how the average marriage works. SHE says s*x will be at this time, (if she's in the mood) and then she gets pregnant, is even a worse HAG afterward, cheats, lies, snarls and complains, then puts on her little sweet heart face for divorce court and ROBS the poor guy of family, house and home and paycheck to the point he has nothing. It is miserable to stay in a marriage, and poverty to leave. I am happy to say that I am beginning to LIVE again, POOR but alive and celibate. I will never again fall into the miserable trap again.

Answer 9

Yes but that is ok that a man can be trapped in an abusive relationship. Just not ok for women. Sexist feminized world.

Answer 10

No, they can leave any time.   And the courts will decide the distribution of the couple's assets.   Because remember  the money and house belong to both of them.    The children can best be served by joint custody in most cases.

Answer 11

Maybe, but most men I know that feel trapped cheat on thier wives.

I know more women trapped in this situation, mostly because they have no career or saved income of their own. And these women ususally remain faithful to their husbands because they have children to think about.

Either way, its h**l to be married to someone you no longer want to be married to.

Answer 12

Pretty much.

Their fault. I have no sympathy for men who decide to marry in this day and age, later to get divorced. They're only a part of the bigger problem.

Answer 13

I am not sure, I am sure a few are.  I questioned this with one particular couple after talking to each separate and together on several occasions.  Alone the man appeared confident, calm and almost humorous.  Alone the woman appeared ill tempered and generally complaintive.  Together they were very distant...almost cold to one another.  In fact during the 15 minute time period they said about 3 or 4 sentences to one another.  It was quite sad.  But I suppose there are also many women trapped in marriages they would like to end.

Answer 14

plenty of women are trapped in loveless marriages as well.

we fear divorce just as much as men do.

Answer 15

Welcome to the world women lived in from at least 1000BC until the 1970's.

Answer 16

Funny how these "losses" (house, money, children) imply male ownership of everything in a marriage.

Then again, maybe that's the whole problem.

Answer 17

Probably. But there are also  just as many women who can't leave a bad marriage because they have no job, no credit, no education or social life and will be stuck with children that they can't afford to take care of.

Divorce sucks for everyone. Men like you need to  stop thinking you're the only victims here.
