Great wife, but one is enough. Of course, many other men have said the same thing.

I am glad for those of you who are happy or even think they are in their marriage.

I simply have found that once it is over and a few years have passed that I have a different perspective of what was happening in it... I see this in every divorced man I have known.

A death is different...

I am perhaps selfish and shallow... I have certainly been accused of it by more than a few women (who I felt were very shallow and selfish themselves).

I think that too many women think that we are just big women who behave badly... They also think that we should welcome being molded.

It appears that some of you do enjoy being molded into "better" (for lack of a better word) people.

Most of the divorced guys were in a bad situation, one way or another. They probably are better off not married. Divorced people are generally better off divorced.

Many married guys will never divorce, however. Most of these guys are not in a bad situation. They were single before they were married and they recall what that was like. They know that they are better off married. Married people are generally better off married.

Judge Judy: Mr. Laz, you are charged with inciting rebellion and thoughts prejudicial to good order. Have you anything to say on your behalf?

lazs2: Well, I --

Judge Judy: Just as I thought, guilty as charged! Have you anything to say before I impose sentence?

lazs2: Well, I --

Judge Judy: 20 years or life, whichever is longer, in holy matrimony with Rosy O'Donnell. No possibility of parole. Have you anything to say before "I do"?

lazs2: I don't.

Judge Judy: Then God have mercy on your solo, and watch your six.

I would point out that "judge judy" is not a judge at all but simply a loud mouthed woman who plays a part.

I would not be around her... I don't have to. I try to not be around people who I don't like or who have nothing interesting to add to my life.

I am glad that I have been married because....

First and foremost... it gave me children and I think that is an experiance that is not only very important in a humans life but... needs to be within the confines of marriage.

It also gave me perspective. It helped form who I am. In a "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" kind of way.

I see the men that my exes have married... they claim to be very happy... They are doing things they don't want to do..

I think that being single before you were married is not really "being single and being married" You almost have to be married and then divorced to see what I am talking about... at the very least... you need to have been in relationships and then gotten married later in life to have perspective.

Marrying a high school sweetheart or being married all of your adult life is not perspective.

This definitely is neither Oprah or Dr. Phil -- all these posts and not one mention of soul mate.

No, it's beyond John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara too.

More like Robert Duvall in Lonesome Dove.

I am just pointing out the obvious.

Many men can live with comprimise. They use it to get something else they want. For me.. the reward does not equal the suffering. As years go by.. this is even more so unless you change into someone that you are not.

The reason for my failed marriages, in retrospect, was that I was unwilling to pretend to be someone else and... worst of all... I was able to see when I was being "nudged" in that direction. I always resented it no matter what the outcome.. you do not want to be around me when I resent something..

I heard somewhere that women believe that men are just big hairy women that are behaving badly... they don't realize that men are men and their behavior is correct.. for men. They simply feel that with a little "help" these hairy women can get back on the right track.

If they do get you to turn into a woman they can't figure out why they have no interest in you anymore and start looking at real men.

I cannot blame laz for feeling the way he feels. I think any man from California has good reason to feel that way.

I think the word we are looking for, and resent, is

m a n i p u l a t i o n

Funny it starts with man.

I think women are born manipulators. Not a derogatory term, just factual. Probably because they generally are smaller and weaker than comparable males.

This really sunk in one day when my oldest daughter was about 10. She knows I don't like loud radio in the car while driving. So from the back seat I hear, "Hey Dad, is that a clarinet on the radio?"

As an amateur clarinet player, I quickly turned up the volume for an instant before realizing I was had by a 10-year-old girl.

Then I got to thinking how women are very good at presenting many of their demands through questions based on male vulnerabilities.

I guess it's all a matter of playing our strengths against others' weaknesses, and women seem much better at that than men are. Then again, sometimes all we have to do is grunt and ignore them. Victory has many different faces.

Good thing my Wife does not read this board. Maybe women appear that way as most men give them no other choice?

My Wife certainly is not a manipulator. We would not be together if she was.

Oh.. I understand that I give women no other choice than manipulation... I am very straight forward in telling them what is acceptable to me and what is not.... They do not understand the word "no" tho.

They take it to mean that I need to be manipulated for my own good. I have a very low threshold for this.

It is not "cute"...
