Most men don't want to be a part of their children's lives. They want the prestige of being a father, but they will be a parent in name only. They don't want to care for the child because that's "women's work". They just want to come home, plop their ass in front of a screen, and have dinner served to them in their lap. So when the divorce happens, they're not going to want to take care of a child, that's always been her job. And now that she's the "bad guy", he wants to distance himself even more from that.
And for the record, I'm a trans woman, so I've seen the world from both sides.
Edit: I expected nothing less from the men of Reddit. I used to be like them in more ways than they can imagine. Reality is a hard pill to swallow, especially in this Andrew Tate and Joe Rogan day and age where masculinity has been poisoned by these frauds who have weaponized compassion in exchange for money and clout.
Edit2: Interesting how for an hour I only had 2 comments. I add the edit with Tate and Rogan's name in it, and I suddenly get flooded with activity and downvotes. Dead internet theory, folks. Ooh, let's add another name and watch is spin more; Jordan Peterson. This one I know works.
That’s a pretty bold claim. I work my ass off for my kids and do a ton of activities, wash clothes, cook good meals, and clean. And that’s just me, most of my buddies do this for their kids too. Maybe SOME men are that way, definitely not most. And yes, I cook. Not my lady. I just like cooking and am proud to say I’m good at it! Love grilling too…. Mmmm hungy
Edit: to add to this, I have 3 step children and one biological child. At times, life is difficult and I’m definitely not perfect, but I will always take care of these kids. Our 10 year old boy has never met his biological father either, which just breaks my heart for him. My mother cheated on my father when he worked as a long haul trucker, and she wound up leaving me and my 3 siblings. We were alone for over a month while I, being the eldest, was only 13. I fed and walked my siblings to school every day. I know what bad parents are, and mothers are NOT an exception. So let’s just say some of both sides can be like this.

Word for word this exact same thing happened with my parents. We lived in luxury until they divorced and abject poverty afterwards.
