[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every woman I know, in my immediate family and friends has married someone who makes substantially more than her. As a result, many years in, she lives a wonderful life where she is financially better off even if she is not working or a SAHM.

It can't really be a coincidence that...everyone I know did this. I would have had no idea how to, as I never screened dates for how much money they made or something.

Whatever happed to feminism and self-sufficiency?

LOL, wow. Did they choose their mate based on income? Or is that just what you assume because you are petty and jealous and insecure?

My DH makes a decent amount and I SAH for 8 years. When we met he was in grad school and I paid for most dates until he moved in and then I paid for everything: rent, utilities, trips, all of it for 4 years. I had no idea if he'd even get a job when he was done or if it would be high-paying because he had other ambitions. But I married him because I love him and it's a happy accident he makes lots of money. Am I not a feminist according to you? Am I not self sufficient because I am taking advantage of our privilege to live my life the way we choose? WTH, OP.[/quote]
