Marriage is a scam.

So my best friend got divorced recently. He was married for about 12 years, he's a fairly successful doctor, an amazing father, a bro (The kind of dude that will always be there for you if you need help), he's just a great human being.

He recently had a custody battle with his wife and lost. Keep in mind his wife is a high school graduate with no job or means to support herself. They gave her custody and not only that, my friend has to pay her alimony because she can't support herself and he lost half his stuff.

So immediately many flags raised in my head. I asked him why did they give her custody if she can't support the children at all without his help, why not just give him custody since you know, he's actually a good provider/parent? He just said that she's the mom and he's the dad, that's all there is to it. I also asked why the fuck he's paying her lazy ass when they're divorced and he told me he's pretty much paying for the "privilege" of having had her as his wife.

Am I the only one that sees something wrong with this? It seems like divorces are extremely one-sided. How the fuck does this worthless woman get everything handed to her while this hard working nice man gets everything taken away? It just seems wrong, am I the only that thinks marriage is a load of shit?
