I totally get your point and the man needs to think it through very carefully before getting married and having children. It certainly can come off the rails in a big way and there is a lot of financial exposure and unhappiness.
However, your post about the woman side of things is a little insensitive. Out of all the couples I have known who have gone through a divorce it was the woman who was ripped apart and crushed by the process. It wasn’t their grand plan and they would have given anything to have it the way it was.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there are wives who are manipulative.
