Dude it is obvious that it is not worth it for you, but did you read his last post? It seems so easy to see that from my perspective, you don't understand.

True. But do you know why in the history for the United States, that there are more "Single" woman than Married. The rate that woman want to be independent is growing and fast. I'm all down you for being married at all. My parents have been married for 25 years and never once have they thought of separating. Nobody and I do mean nobody in my family has ever separated. The reason why they are all still together is b/c They are all from the Old school days where The wife stays home and takes care of the kids and house and the Husband brings home the Money. The main reason why there is a 50-50 chance marriage will not last is b/c the wife wants to work and wants to bring home money and does not want to listen to the man. I'm not hating on woman. Of course you know take care of your lady. My Mom might bust her butt cleaning and making dinner every day and all that but she is still in a Half a million dollar house and Drives a fully loaded Tahoe and is pretty much free to do anything. Hard work is rewarded but that's b/c my mother stayed home and listened. I know alot of this can not be applied to situations now a days but there are still some of those girls/woman out there. She complains about going to Hooters, he's young, Its was young guys do. Its not a man's fault that 90% of woman are insecure. Dont get me wrong, My dream was to some day get married and have kids but the way things are going in this world I'd rather learn from everyone elses mistakes. Yes they're exceptions to the rule and I wish you good luck with your upcoming baby. Best to you and your Wife, Congrats. Dont get me wrong, I love kids to death. My best buddy was a teen parents, and him and the baby's mom are no longer together and have problems with whos going to have the kid. Then like a moron he gets his new girlfriend preg. and they have the baby and the baby somehow gets sick. Come to find out something happened and they are accusing him of hurting the baby, and is now charged with Attempted Murder. The reason why it was pushed to such a high charge is b/c the girls "single mother" are crazy, and as well as the girl. His fault yes for not getting to know her better. I have alot of friends that have "Baby Momma DRAMA" and this is why I feel so strongly about this subject. I mean Its great that he's willing to father her kids, but at what expense? (And Im not talking about Money Wise, Mentally)

Yeah, and there are easy miles and there are HARD miles- some woman look great at 50 or 60- Susan Sarandon, Sally Fields, and others look used up and burnt out at 30- Lifestyle makes a difference-

Kudos for caring about the kids, you can't be their pal then disappear, leaving them hanging, unless you want them to grow up thinking this is somehow "normal" You probably won't respect yourself, or the kind of person you become if you act like that-

Sounds like you have your head screwed on straight, and know what values are important- Good luck and I hope she wakes up and realizes what she has-

Do you seriously believe that most woman Choose to be single moms just because they feel like it??? Come on man...seriously?????

Its not a man's fault that 90% of woman are insecure.

Who's fault is it? Let me guess...her own right?

I can't even begin to understand the rest of your post...There is so much wrong with it...Anyways, I am through with this thread as it is obvious I am taking it too personal...

So as of Last friday it has officially been over. It sucked for the first couple days, but I know that it is better now and it was the right thing to do. The one major draw back is that I set myself back $700 on those Y2K rims and that was my back up money for when things between us ended. Oh well, hotel life is great for now and last night my buddy and I met a girl at the bar who owns a black 2000 Z28 camaro . Things may turn out to be alright.

Things may turn out to be alright.

Change the "may" to "will". It will get better every day until you reach a point that you say to yourself.... "Wow, I can't believe I suffered though that. What the heck was I thinking?" It's a new beginning, mi amigo.

I could talk to her on the phone at 3:00 PM and life was great. By the time I got home at 5:30 she was like a wild animal and pissed off at me for no apparent reason. I often wondered what the heck happenend from 3:00 to 5:30 to cause such turmoil.

I get that with my better half every so often. In her case I usually find out pretty quick what the trigger was. Usually it's the mother calling (they don't get along) to put her down or her daughter calling wanting something and not getting it and then being mean to her.

Of course I'm the one closest and end up taking the heat.
