I have a friend who I haven't been able to hang out with for several years because his wife is insane and posessive, and he's decided to just ride it out until the kids are all 18 so he can divorce her without having to pay her child support.
He'll still support his children, but he'll do it directly instead of through her.
Wow, think of the example he's setting. If his kids were in that marriage, would he recommend waiting for 1/5 of their life to go by with a horrible person? How will his kids even know how to have a loving relationship if his parents are that fucked up?
He's a coward who cares more about money than about being a good person or dad.
And that's most men in these relationships. Men would rather cheat and lie than be honest and extend basic respect and communication to their partners. And then get upset when women finally initiate divorce for the broken shitty relationship.
Fucking hell dude, get the hell down from your horse. In a world where unwilling mother still gets rights to a child, what choice does that dude have? Hell, if he cares for his children, this is the best course of action, not only money wise.
And before you pull some shitty ass generalisation - I know three children from broken marriages, in two cases overall "normal" mothers used their children as bargaining chip. One of these children being me, and in third case mother denied father rights to see his child so much that currently that person loathes their mother.
