[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It depends. When I was a pretty, fun, outgoing 20 something, men didn't care that I didnt make much money. They weren't thinking with their big head.

Now that I'm in my 30s and married, my lack of work history is a huge problem in my marriage. I'm [/quote]

Accidentally hit submit. It's a huge problem in my marriage and my DH has little respect for me because my career before marriage/kids didn't make much my D.C. Standards, and then I became a SAHM which he said he was okay with initially, but now it causes a lot of arguments. So I'm working on getting a career started back up.

The only men I know who would have major issues going on (abusive, addiction, etc) so they like having someone with few options.

Yup.  The guys answering this are picturing a hot 24 year old and essentially saying "don't worry your pretty little head, just keep it tight and I'll keep the lights on." Even if that were OP's situation (it's not), that shit fades and you're left with an average Jane with no work history. There's a difference between 'wouldn't stop me from banging' and 'not an issue at all.'[/quote]

I think you're both being dishonest. An unambiguous woman is a problem. A stay at home mom who plans on living off someone else now that she is a divorced empty nester is a problem. But a cute divorcee who is working very hard, and who wants me around, is a prize. She could be doing anything at work, except being a sex worker or a Trump White House aide. [/quote]
