[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also marriage is NOT for life. Nobody has to be tied to destructive and unhealthy dogma for the sake of what exactly?[/quote]

That's all you need to know, fellas. Marriage is little more than transfer of wealth.[/quote]

Transfer of whose wealth? I've been married 17years...and happily I might add. I make just shy of 200k as does my DH. If we were to get divorced, we would both be worse off financially,  except of course our tax rate would lower.

So, come again?[/quote]

Most marriages are financial partnerships, with the wife bringing as much to the relationship as the husband.

70% of women with children are in the labor market. 60% of married women with children work.  This fantasy that all women marry men and quit working is just that -- a fantasy. [/quote]

It's not a fantasy in DC, or in any family where one spouse makes six figures+.

Also 60 percent is honestly lower than I expected. [/quote]

The circles of women who I run with all make six figures+. Every.single.one.of.them. I live in a neighborhood with all 7 figure homes and the only women around during the day are the nannies because both parents are working. Nobody is working out of necessity, it is pure ambition.

I have 3 best friends, all 3 own their own businesses. One owns a strategic marketing company, one a defense contracting company, and one owns a very successful dental practice. All of them probably collectively employ over 500 people. They are all under 45 and have small children and have equally successful husbands.

I probably just could not relate to women who SAH, so I guess I don't see them. The only SAHMs I actually know are in my DHs family and they never did have earning potential, so why work?

Women are able to easily divorce men because, just like the OP, they don't HAVE to be married out of financial necessity. Nobody is taking anyone to the cleaners.  Just like my friends, if I had a divorce, it would be a split and we'd both walk and, frankly, both be quite fine.  If you have a career, you get to be married at your leisure. You don't have to wear the golden handcuffs.  This is exactly why women  who live in societies where they are subjugated do not divorce. They can't.[/quote]

That's terrific (no sarcasm).

But there are some SAH moms who don't work that hard and then bail with a wheelbarrow full of alimony once their marriage begins to struggle because they know that their have a golden parachute.

I have no problem if you are at parity with your husband, career-wise, and you don't take alimony from him. But in a SAH mom/long hours dad combination, I feel that SAH moms have a loaded gun to their husbands head at all times.

But that's just me. If you are in a SAH mom relationship, and it works, terrific.
