Apparently so because there's a 7 page and counting thread where most of the posters are encouraging that OP to marry the man instead of just living with him. |
None of this is true for me. Not sure where you got this fantasy. Doesn’t even resonate. Your understanding of women isn’t as good as you think it is. |
I'm a PhD in research and LOVE my job. I hated raising my kids when they were little and my job was my sanity saver. I had our nanny working full time when I was on maternity leave with my second. |
You say that but even a bad dad can stay at home while a baby is napping which is more than a single mom has without arranging childcare. |
No, marriage is a legal contract and is a business deal. |
I could never leave my exhusband alone with little kids...not even a baby napping. I had to hire a sitter to leave...so I never left the house. Easier to be a single parent. |
Never marry a person who sees marriage as a business deal. |
Sometimes you do not know until after the wedding. Happens more than you think. |
It is not good for women, but probably good for children.
Men gains tons of advantages (as scientifically proven: they live longer, reduce their homemaking responsibilities, gain career advantages...not so for women). |
Why would you marry someone who is so incompetent and selfish? Let alone have children with him. What do you think you both taught your kids about male/female roles? |
Do you think you should have had children? I would imagine that it is not great for a forming human's self esteem to find out that their parent "hated" raising them. I also have a PhD in research, and raising my child was the most joyful and fulfilling thing I ever did. She knows that too. |
I did not plan to have kids with him. Also, there is no way of knowing how someone will parent. Also, I did not know he was like this before getting married. This is common. It happens. |
NP and well, you're pretty pathetic. Not least because you're so proud of putting a huge burden on your innocent kid to be "the most joyful and fulfilling thing" in your life. Jeez, lady. |
The happiest married couples I know are childfree. Constantly travel and doing fun things. Seem so compatible. |
Not true. 30% don't have to work. Most of the rest marry a man that significantly out earns them (outside of dcum land where everything is reversed) which significantly increases their net worth. Married women are also much less likely to be a victim of a violent crime. Married mothers are less likely to suffer from depression than single women. |
