Even being "smart" in western countries doesn't make a difference coz the law is an ass.Laws are heavily skewed against men.When you divorce you lose 50% of your assets and you spend 30% or more depending on how long the proceeding will drag out.After divorce you can end up paying your ex wife alimony for the rest of her life depending on how long you were married in states like California.Child support is set by the court and it doesn't factor in a drop in your income.So you can end up in jail for not paying it despite the fact that your ex wife made you go broke during proceedings.Money matters aside, what makes most men contemplate suicide is separation from kids.All your wife has to say is abuse/harrasement and you are guilty until proved innocent.This is why marriage rate is at an all time low in the west and mens movements like MGTOW are gaining alot of traction.So Ebue is not stupid or naive.The odds were simply not in his favour.Its like buying KQ,Harfric,mumias,uchumi shares and having 100% returns.What are the odds?
