In this one way, at least, men and women are similar in divorce cases!

There's one way that #men and #women are similar in #divorce #cases : they have no struggle to see the #husband's worth, but it's a bigger fight to see the #wife's.
No, not in all cases; very few things are true 100% of the time. But it's true more often than it's not. Men are all, "mine, mine, mine," while I have to push the #exwives to see their contributions, to assess their value, and to take their #marital shares. This is especially true in cases where there's a big income discrepancy - like where she was a #stayathomemom - or where she was the victim of #domestic #violence or #coercivecontrol. So, so, so many women are willing to buy their #freedom at whatever cost.

" No one is accepting less than they're entitled to and I think that probably true". That ought to be a full stop statement. Look, I understand that a wife may not be as agressive as her husband , but the courts understand this as well and are tilted accordingly. My friend is paying $43,000 per yr for 22yrs to his ex wife for spousal support alone. (at least it will be down to that after the youngest son is of age) We men think we're providing a privileged life of being able to stay at home and focus on raising two sons, but women and divorce courts seem to think its an oppressed, caged, existence deserving of 22 yrs of reparations.

@@Neoteny374 it's not reparations. It's recognition that her earning potential is not the same, especially after being a stay at home mom. It's an effort to be equitable, too - why should he go on living at the standard of living that was achieved with her help and support while she lives at or below the poverty line? Whatever was earned was earned together. He couldn't have earned what he earned without her participation and support. If he's paying that much, he's a very high wage earner - good for them! Sounds like their partnership was a good one, at least economically, while it lasted.
