Well, as a single mom making $300, I can guarantee I have far less arguments about how I’m spending my money or child raising decisions than 99.9% of married people. (Not, op).

So basically you can be as selfish as you want to be and nobody is there to call you out on it

Translation: my H can be selfish all he wants an no matter how much I call him out he won't change. So I'm jealous you don't have to deal with that and I will lash out at your happiness.

Or: I can't get along with anybody so I have learned that I am better off being by myself

Get along? Have you read this site? Husbands and wives barely tolerate each other and a lot seem miserable together. The only thing they are getting along with is a big ole bottle of wine at the end of the day to lull them into complacency.

This^. Love, loyalty and having each other's back are only shallow words now.

The three of you sound so pathetic.

Why? It gives spouses loving partners to love and share life's joys and hurdles. It gives kids a stable, safe home and living family. It helps share chores, money and logistics. Most of all, it gives you trust and confidence to have someone in your corner no matter what, illness, disability, financial ruin, anything life throws at you, you have your anchor there to keep you grounded.

Two loving parents are better than one. Having a positive male role model is good for kids. Coming from a stable nurturing family environment is so important.

That can all be accomplished either married or divorced.

NP.

Nothing beats happy, healthy intact families for kids long term well being.

Sure, you can make the case that divorced parents could be better than miserable, married parents. But you’re in a strange denial if you think either is comparable to a healthy nuclear family.

I’ll never understand why people don’t try to do THEIR part in being happily married instead of just giving up on the concept of marriage as soon as a snag is hit.

Successfully cohabitating with another person is challenging and takes strong character, patience, and
emotional intelligence. You don’t always get your way and you are held accountable for your bad behavior. That is why people were attacking the 300k single mom. It’s easy to be wealthy (enough) and alone. I personally find that most things worth having are not found on easy street.
