Neither do I, Brightstar.

I have no sympathy for liers of any sex or gender. But when you say 'women', you're including your mother. I know you don't want to, but you are, since she's a woman. That's why a bit more nuance is necessary.

By the way, men also start divorces and can do so to get money--look at McCain's divorce from his first wife so as to get Cindy's. I don't care who does it more often or who does it less often--either way it's bad.

My mom suffered during her divorce too

my problem with the divorce fashion in America is that women marry badly DELIBERATELY-- they marry world class jerks, because the jerks made their clits twirl or something-- and then the world has to ABSORB the aftereffects of these bad decisions the women quite consciously made.

I have little to no sympathy for loose women with deliberately bad judgement.

The world needs fewer little bastard kids and more good people. unfortunately it looks like women are hell bent on producing more hell spawn rather than being responsible.

@ Brightstar

My g*d, Brightstar! You're really completely ignoring AntonioFWW's story--as if women never suffered during divorces? Gee, I would understand it if you sad men need a similar site--but all this glee at attacking other people who may actually be suffering and not deserve your attack at all... I'm sorry to say, but you're really exaggerating here. It's almost like being a terrorist who believes killing innocent people is OK as long as it helps his cause. Creepy. And note that I was also critical of that site!

yippee! women really NEED something like this

A more efficient way for women to trade stories about how to screw the husbands out of the house, money and kids!

I am glad I am not marriage minded and moving away from that mindset.

GOD FORBID I consider marrying in America, where everything is turned against men.

I second the idea that there be strong web sites developed to teach men about pre-nups, to warn them about the myriad manipulations women engage in, and to give men some support in a world that has turned against the male.

I always laugh when I think to myself, seeing ALL the myriad women around me every day, and how many of them, if they have a boyfriend, are being strung along by guys these days who are so scared of the American man grinder called marriage that they refuse, flat out REFUSE, to even consider the possibility of marriage.

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE!!!!

Let society sort out why men refuse to submit ANYMORE. We have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD to save up our fortunes so we can get ALL THE cute hotties we want when we are doddering decades from now.

Women needed something like this

I wish something like this had been around when my mother was going through her divorce. I remember those nights of pain and crying and I was the only person she could talk to at the time. It would have been great for her to have found a safe haven like www.firstwivesworld.com to go to.

I work for the company and I can honestly say this site was created to help those women who suddenly find themselves facing what is without a doubt one of the toughest times of their lives. Many of us that work for the site are children of divorce or have gone through divorce so we understand how much we are helping these women by connecting with each other.

All they want at a time like this is someone to listen and hopefully give some words of advise. The stories of these women will break your heart. They have delt with abuse like you would not believe, tied with depression and such amazing pain.

I get letters daily from women saying "thank you so much for creating a site like this." It helps to have people to talk to that are going through the exact same thing. That is why Social Networks work. You can find people you never would have in your normal everyday life.

Thanks for writing this article about us and spreading the word about our site. We hope we can help as many women out there as possible get through this hurtful time in their life and come out the other side stronger and happier in the end.

@ Parson Jim

You can always refuse to marry, PJ. That'll show those feminists. Just imagine what they'll be missing. Whoop-dee-doo indeed! :-)

Hell

No man should get married anywhere in America. Enjoy your cats and hysterectomies, ladies. You made this bed, you sleep in it!

Whores and parasites have a Facebook site of their own

Whoop tee doo. Let the feminist mythologists and their ilk prosper and fluorish.

No sane man should marry in California.

Looking forward to the flurry of uber beta Herb and angry feminist bitch emails!
