It's not 1940. What will those types do if their husbands die or leave them? They won't be able to support themselves since they have no education or work experience. more kids.

Freedom is not the ability to do nothing while someone else takes care of you. Freedom is the ability to be able to take care of oneself in any situation. They will never have this.

Hey, there's no denying the modern workplace and economy totally suck but I'm personally glad I've worked the last 30+ years. I've exercised my brain. I have skills and I can support myself. I'm getting MY OWN pension. And while I'm married, I am with DH because I CHOOSE to be, not because I have to be. And I think is makes a difference in our relationship. I've been with the in-laws and heard the same SIL and my MIL say bullshit such as, "not every marriage is equal....it's always 49/51 percent...." when they talk about their husbands unilaterally making decisions about money, etc. My DH and I are in an equal partnership, and I don't think it's a coincidence.

My second husband started out being a co-equal partner (although early on he abandoned all pretense of helping around the house). Around year 15, after we had moved to California where his uncles lived, he started getting bossy. My mistake was quitting work when he asked me to because it was "putting him into a high tax bracket." The moment I stopped working, he started throwing his weight around in the marriage, saying things like "I believe in the Golden Rule. The one who has the gold makes the rules." And although I kept the house well and always had dinner ready when he got home, he started accusing me of just "sitting around the house eating bonbons all day."

Marriage is not what it's cracked up to be, and you can never know how your spouse is going to feel about the relationship in 10 years.

I am self-sufficient and I feel much better. I don't have to take shit from anyone.
