Translation: “I knew that my wife wanting to fuck other men stemmed from the fact that she lost all attraction to me when I became a stay at home dad. I understood that if I refused to open our marriage, I would be faced with divorce and the loss of access to my children, income and assets. When I understood that, I became a feminist”.

This is why most men won't consider becoming stay-at-home dads. Because let's face it, men lose in the fast majority of divorce cases, and not having a job as a man is stigmatised. In fact, most women don't want to date men who earn less money than them, and stay-at-home dads earn nothing.

I'd still be calling for divorce anyway in such a case. The wife is basically asking for an open license to cheat. You can divorce on the grounds of infidelity, and if the wife is the one making the income she is the one that stands to lose much from this between child support payments and the like. There's also a good chance that women like this will not argue for custody anyway since they're more interested in having sex than having a family anyway.

But the courts are so in favor of the woman even if there's infidelity- hell, even if there's proof the wife is abusing the husband and kids, and forcing the kids to do drugs and have sex with the wife's new partners, the court will still give the wife full custody and alimony because "the kids need their mother more."

Can't say I have much experience with courts. But while I know this is the common belief people have about the way courts are biased, I find it hard to believe, and I see little evidence to back it up beyond the occasional crazy news story.

I'm pretty sure that most courts won't award custody to a woman if there is proof of the things you have mentioned. Likely because should there be proof of those things the woman should be in jail already as all those are criminal acts. The issue of course comes down to having proof that can stand up in court.

That's a good point. The husband can still win if he files for divorce before the wife does.

That's so true it makes me sad...
