If OP is in a traditional relationship, her DH has prepared for his death or disability through insurance, etc, because that's what a responsible, traditional MAN does.  She has already demonstrated she has the skills to manage the rest without him provided he has secured their financial future. Again, you diminish her role. Obviously, it wouldn't work for you. That's clear. But she is especially capable of seamlessly transitioning to a Single parent caregiver because she has focused her entire energies on doing just that.  [/quote]
Actually, you have no way of knowing what her DH did or did not do. Most people underestimate how much money they need.

You also chose not to comment on what would happen to her standard of living if her DH decides that another 20-year old down the street will make a more traditional and submissive wife, and divorces OP.  You cannot deny that where finances are concerned, working women play much safer bets.  Becoming a SAHM is a financially risky move for a woman.[/quote]

She is beyond SAHM she is a career dependant. I was a SAHM for 5 years. I also came with a 401K and stock options. I then promptly went back to work, not in need of my DHs blessing because he respects me as an intelligent individual who is capable of making sound decisions.[/quote]
Just to point out that this is not to put down SAHMs.  I don't see them as career dependants because what they do is critical for families and children.  If this is what the family decides together, I am happy.  But it does put the woman into a financially vulnerable position.[/quote]
