As far as I'm concerned, if a woman 'doesn't need a man in her life', she doesn't need a man's money either. If she wants the kids too, because she 'doesn't need a man in her life' because she's a 'strong and independent woman', she doesn't need a man's money for the kids, and she can be 'strong and independent' somewhere else.
Marriage and relationships have become such that it's all liabilities for the men, and the woman has nothing but upsides no matter what choices she makes no matter how it affects the man's life. If she stays, he supports her, and if she leaves, he supports her. She has him support her even if she has another guy or guys on the side. She can be 'strong and independent', but it seems that she needs to have someone else's dimes to be that. And this has become a major problem in society.

After reading this post, I truly feel sorry for you. You aren't wrong in thinking that having a wife and kids puts all of your assets at risk but in my eyes, having all that stuff with no one isn't much of a life.
Do what ever makes you happy though.
I have financially supported my family from the start and that was my choice. We have been lucky enough to live a decent lifestyle off of my income alone and that has allowed my wife to be a stay at home mom. I make sacrifices with being the sole bread winner and she makes sacrifices doing what she does....It's kind of a 'give and take' type of deal we have. It works for us and I don't think either of us has it any easier than the other.
