Nick - 98 degrees of absurdity

Apparently Nick Lachey is requesting spousal support.

I don't know the history of spousal support, but, I have to assume it was born out of days gone by when the husband worked and the wife stayed home - forgoing any career or higher education, to raise the kids and take care of the home.

When the husband got bored with the house & home and or perhaps completed his higher education and decided to leave, this left the wife in the lurch. Spousal support in this situation makes sense.

How did a support mechanism like that, turn into Nick Lachey seeking spousal support? Sure, he doesn't earn the money that his soon to be ex does, but he's certainly not hurting. He didn't have to put his own career on hold to support her. I believe I heard he has a T.V. show coming up next season. To me, him seeking spousal support is either a) him trying to hurt her, or b) a man not satisfied with just a silver spoon and wanting the knife & fork to go with it. Either way it demonstrates someone with little moral character, and is a waste of time for the judicial system.

Guess everything always comes down to money.
