That's kind of sad. I made it clear before I got married I did not want
to have children. When I divorced my husband he harrassed me for two
years afterwards and I got him thrown in jail because of it. He kept
whining when he kept calling me after the divorce I "wouldn't have his
baby". Uh, aside from the fact that I never wanted children, if I'd had
his baby I'd have wound up supporting TWO babies for the rest of my life.
