Good post. Current trends show that younger, successful males are NOT getting married or having kids now.
I'm odd because I enjoy being married ( 4x LOL) BUT never wanted kids. Most are all or none on that.
Oh, my first 2 wives changed and wanted kids , a couple YEARS after we got married and agreed NOT to.
It's been my experience that a woman changes a LOT before she hits age 40.
Either accept it and go with her changes or divorce her ass( I chose the later)
FYI, the 3 legged dog is cool...just sayin' 
There was an article written about this. The reason why many many are not getting married is not because they are successful, but because the legal system treats them unfairly during divorce. When divorce happens, the man can lose half his pension, has to pay child support and alimony, often has to leave the home and move, never gets custody of his children-child always lives with the mom (unless the mom is unfit), and then gets pushed out of the picture little by little. In fact, research shows that nonresidential fathers often lose contact contact with their children over time, and it has nothing to do with being a "deadbeat dad." Unfortunately, many women make it difficult for good dads to regularly see their children or come up with reasons why they cant pick up their child for weekend visits.
Usually the conversations go something like this:
Dad: "I am going to pick up little Johnny today. Its my weekend to see him."
Mom: "Oh sorry, I know you were supposed to see little Johnny this weekend, but we have a lot to do this weekend, can you come by next weekend?"
Dad: "But its my weekend to see him. I was looking forward to it."
Mom: "Why are you being difficult?"
Dad: "I am not, I want to see my child this weekend and I can't do it next weekend."
Mom: "Oh, youre such a deadbeat dad, can't see your child."
Dad: "I can, I want to see little Johnny THIS weekend, the week I am suppose to see him. I am out of town next weekend."
Mom: "Youre a deadbeat dad. I am posting this on Facebook."
Over time, the father becomes frustrated, and despite his attempts to see Johnny, can only try to so much. Then he gets labeled a "deadbeat dad."
