Sudden Divorce Syndrome - Â* MSN Lifestyle: Men

Some of these stories are horrific. I hope it never happens to me. I am so invested in my family both emotionally and financially, I dont know what I would do if it got taken away. Leave it to MSN to put an article like this out there so close to Christmas. Isnt the suicide rate higher around the holidays?

Happened to my cousin...crushed him. No warning.

Did she take it all and throw him to the curb?

You gotta wonder if he drove her away from all of his working. How could the court system not give him more than what he got.

He just moved on didnt want to fight it, I think would have hurt him too much, he just packed up and left.

I am surprised at the timing too. Interesting article.

I'm just thankful my wife is the type of person who can't bottle emotions and tell them at the last minute. She usually tells me when something is bothering her right away.

Ha mine bottles it for about a week and then something small I do sets her off. I usually expect it, so I prepare. Most of the time we communicate well enough. I tend to be a bottler as well but I dont unload it like she does, I absorb it and move on if its trivial enough.

No matter what our wives are like, the key is to learn their tendancies so you're not blindsided. I guess I'm pretty lucky overall.

I just dont get how because he works he should have to pay so much. She left him. Cant she get a job? I understand splitting the assets. That makes sense, but to have to pay her monthly is absurd.

Ya that would pretty much SUCK. I'm pretty much nothing without my better half and three girls. Sometimes us guys can put so much into work or sports or play(whatever, pick your poison) that we take them for granted and don't realize it till they say goodbye. Then you realized what you had and it's too late.

I'm guilty of that. I need to remember the games will still happen if I don't watch all of them! Othertimes, she needs to learn sometimes I just wanna chill and watch a freaking game.

God the one guy took a grenade into a federal court house and got himself shot over how the courts screwed him. I could probably deal with losing the wife more than never seeing my kids. They are my world now.

"Regular sex helps insulate a man from chronic stress, and that can pay off in increased longevity: In a study of 1,000 middle-aged men by researchers at Queen's University in Belfast, men who had sex at least three times a week had half the risk of heart attack or stroke of men who had sex less frequently."

This is proof that they want to kill us.
