Women seem to get a much greater deal of support in leaving a marriage. They absolutely get the short end of the deal more often, I understand that, but in cases where things are more equal, why is that men are demonized for wanting out?
We have no children. My W doesn't need my income, she makes almost 3x what I do. I do most of the work at home. She's the one who works late all of the time while I'm the one who doesn't most of the house work, etc. Her family thinks she's hard to get along with, as do most of her co workers. Everyone tells her she's "lucky to have me" and tells me "good luck."
But now that it's coming out that I intend to leave... and I'm the bad guy. My life sucks. There's no passion, she tries to manage me like one of her staff and I'm just completely exhausted with giving to this relationship. And no, none of my friends or family know about the OW (if they did, I could understand their reactions.)
So why am I the bad guy?
