Agreed. Rarely is Cyanide and Happiness something I think my wife or mom wants to read. That doesn't make them any less hilarious.
I'm not riled up, but my opinion is that you should lighten up. You'll live longer that way.
Brett
Fine. I'll agree that jokes about miscarriages are funny when you agree that for most people marriage is a wonderful, fulfilling, blessed union to have.I'm not riled up, but my opinion is that you should lighten up. You'll live longer that way.

Agreed, right up until the point where the dude is served with divorce papers and the chick reaches into his walet every month (via the court) for money she doesn't deserve.
Do we really want to go down this road?Brett

According to recent statistics.. Something like 45% of all marriages suck bad enough they end.
Out of the 55% that don't divorce, I'm sure at least 1/3 of those dudes are fucking miserable and are staying only for kids, can't afford alimony, or will lose their job over it.
So no, Marriage is not "happy" for the 'majority'.
Maybe it is for the majority of women. They have NOTHING to lose by getting married 90% of the time.

Or when she runs off with your MiniMe and all of your shit. Then refuses to accept service orf the divorce papers while reaching into your wallet every month (via MILPERSMAN) for an exorbitantly high sum of money she doesn't deserve.
Not that it happened to me or anything.
@ Angel... you'll never get Brett, MB or I to agree that marriage is a good thing.

When my Manatee refused to accept service of the divorce papers, I hired a "Town Crier". (legal in FL if they won't take the papers)
Basically called out in front of the house, stood on a platform and read the court documents in front of witnesses (aka the neighbors). With a bullhorn. Dressed as a 1700s colonial town crier.
I should have paid the extra to have it videotaped but I was a little tight on cash.
On the plus side, she's never refused service of legal papers since, since I think she knows the crier WILL be videotaped this time, and put on Youtube.
Then again, I'm the guy that paid my ex's lawyer the money I was ordered to pay her in PENNIES in sacks delivered by Wells Fargo with a certified count slip. Court said I had to pay in cashier's check, credit card, or cash. Cash delivered by courier was OK.
You can't get even, but you can have some fun with it.

You fellas missed the point of my last post entirely. I know you will never back down on your feelings of marriage. That was my point. My response to Brett was saying that I will never back down on my view that the death of an unborn child is not funny. Can't we all just get along now?
I actually agree with the boys, in some respects. Most marriages are doomed, and much of the time, they are a bad idea.
Although, I know just as many women as men who got screwed by bad or failed marriages, so the gents don't have the upper hand in the misery-directly-attibutable-to-marriage game. Guys who work off the books so they don't have to pay child support, cheaters, liars, abusers of all flavors, those who refuse to step up and help with the kids either during or after the marriage, one husband and father who pulled the proverbial leave for a pack of cigarettes and never return trick (though in his case it was a non-existant business trip and it was the last time his wife and 2 sons ever saw him, or a penny of support) and yes, even some who are bilking their female exes for ridiculous alimony. (The sisterhood has come so far!!). So, MB, I would have to disagree that women have nothing to lose 90% of the time.
Where I think my opinion diverges from that of our resident He Man Woman Haters chapter is that I think in at least 75% of the cases of bad marriages (whether they end in flames or chug along in miersy), it that it comes down to bad selection and poor decision aming. It's sounds dreamy and romantic, and both sides fall for it all too often, but love does not equal good marriage. Planning and careful choice and a level head are your only hope, and even then they are no guarantee.
You marry a guy without bothering to discuss how you plan on raising your spawn or whether you both have the same ideas about what the rules will be. Danger! You marry a hot chick because she's, well...hot and the regularly available sex is the stuff of dreams, without getting to know her or her family. Stupid move; likely to end badly. You know you have different ideas on spending vs. saving but golly gee you just love him/her so much that you know it will work out in the end and you don't want to ruin a good thing. Welcome to hell!! You never bother to discuss how the Navy life is going to work with what you both want and who will make what compromises. Shockingly, you are probably doomed. You lurve your porn and strippers and she thinks that's the devil's work and is akin to cheating, but you assume it can be ironed out later. Stupid move!
Most people who have unhappy marriages or divorces have no one to blame but themselves. Sure, there are exceptions, just as there are exceptions to the AW theorum of marriage equaling mutually assured destruction. Or at least sigular distruction. But as with most things in life, if you make bad choices, you get bad results. Garbage in, garbage out.

When a woman who has you arrested at work on false charges refuses to be served with the divorce papers she knows is coming, there's not much left in options. Either wait 2 years with the USN giving her half my pay, or get a crier.
The lawyer thing was strictly a "FU BITCH" move to her fat dyke lawyer, and was approved by my lawyer.

Gah, you caught me before my edit. I decided not to go there.
I think that's pretty good, when you consider that the other 55% end in death...

Hahaha thanks for putting it all in perspective, Jynx
And MB... that is HILARIOUS! It's the small victories isn't it?
