[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, and when you and your partner split up you'll be screwed b/c you can't find a job due to the hodgepodge mess on your resume.  Happened to my cousin after 15 years of marriage and now she is waitressing.[/quote]

[quote]I'm sorry that happened to your cousin, of course that's a terrible situation.

Since I have both a graduate degree and a professional degree and nearly a decade of work in my field before I left, I think I would manage to scrape something together.  Maybe I'm wrong, but given that I've been with my partner 16 years, owned a house together for four, and only been married two, I'm not living in fear of my marriage failing[/quote].[/quote]

According to the rules of some working moms on DCUM you must ALWAYS live your life as if you will be dumped by your spouse/partner at a moment's notice.   I can't figure out why anyone would even choose to marry or have kids if that's how you felt about your spouse, though.[/quote]

I don't believe that is true.  I do believe that many ppl are blindsided....you can never truly know 100% about anyone or what they are capable of.  Some of the divorces in our community were instances in which the spouse thought they did marry somebody phenomenal.  Some of the ones that were abandoned were by ppl that, as an outsider, never in a million years would you think that that person would be type to do that.  My parents did raise all of their children (boys and girls) to always have a means to support themselves...for my sister and I that has been keeping a foot in the workplace...she has been lucky enough to work 2 days a week (with option of going back to full-time) for the past 15 years and I WAH.  Her kids will be off to college soon and she can easily slide back into full-time mode at same work place.[/quote]
