4 years ago last month, for me. In some ways it gets better - you don't have to answer to anybody but yourself, again. In others, it doesn't - society now sees you a bit differently, and will continue to do so until you somehow get back "on the rails" with a new partner.

As far as net cashflows from one partner to the other post-marriage, it'd surprise me if it wasn't mostly flowing from men to women. But, honestly, that's almost entirely obvious from the fact that men mostly continue to work and women often stop.
