"The fact is that smart men don't marry, without a prenuptial agreement."
When I read this I thought " and smart women...?" Then I thought, "What about the kids? Don't they deserve support?"
I'm happily married. So are most of my firends. Some of the posts here remind both my husband and I of exactly why we can NOT get divorced. Wading through the gender anger here perhaps makes the dating scene look worse than it is. Most men and women are good people. The people who all go "gold digger" and "jerk" need to look to themselves, to see why they choose these people.
As for the LW, if he is correct, he needs therapy. He's been depressed, and he's SURE his perceptions are correct? If they are, he and his wife need to learn how to communicate openly and honestly. If they aren't (which is possible) he needs to find out why he is interpreting the situation so negatively. We all make bargains, consciously and unconsciously. There's a subscript here that he needs to explore. As with a number of things, both may be right AND wrong. When it comes to sex, perceptions can collide, and people can act really weird.
