Saying "women, in general" implies that you are meeting more than a narrow band of the entire spectrum of women.  I was a Family Law paralegal for many years, and have realized what a skewed perspective on people this type of profession affords.

1. You are only seeing women when they are pursuing a divorce.  Generally, those who seek legal assistance are not divorcing amicably, so you are meeting those who cannot or will not communicate with their spouse about the dissolution of their relationship.

2.  You are seeing women at their emotional worst: stressed out, angry, sad, resentful, scared, etc...

3.  You are only involved because there are property and custody issues to be resolved.  Couples without stuff & kids can pick up the forms for free at the courthouse.

4.  Women are often advised by their friends to go on the offensive in a divorce.  I've heard the advice given by well-meaning friends: get a restraining order, or else he'll sell all your stuff, hide the money & you will end up on the streets.  Don't let him have custody of the kids, or you'll never see them again--his new girlfriend will have them calling her "Mommy" within six months.  Even women who might disbelieve this advice under better circumstances can become scared enough to take inappropriate action.

I left Family Law because I got so tired of always seeing people at their worst.  :sad:

I just want to thank everybody that contributed to this thread.

I read every post.

Going through kinda the same thing right now , except I'm still with her ... I think we just dove in too deep, too fast. There still seems to be a glimmer of hope tho. The main problem is we have 52 miles between us (and in Los Angeles, this means a 3 hour drive).
