[quote=Anonymous]No but I also don't really blame a person (in general, not in this specific situation) for being pragmatic about marriage and finding a way to get what they want out of life (economic security, motherhood) as long as the relationship can be mutually beneficial and not abusive. I don't think you have to marry for romantic love and I think sometimes the ideal of perfect romantic love via marriage gets in the way of what you have to do to make a decades long marriage work (compromise, give each other space to be your own people sometimes, divide and conquer, work through personal crap that might mean the marriage doesn't function perfectly for a while and then come back to each other as true partners). I sometimes wish I'd prioritized money more in marriage. Not because I want to be a SAHM and never have to work (I like working and would work in some capacity no matter what) but because money is an enormous source of stress and while I love my partner and we work well together, he can be short sighted about money in a way that puts a lot of pressure on me. If I could have my exact same partner but he has family money and a more pragmatic understanding of how money works, that would be pretty nice. But also Trump is a wanna-be dictator who has done enormous harm to so many people, that part I don't understand. At some point you need to pull your head out of the sand. I don't understand how anyone in his orbit allows this to go on, it's grotesque.[/quote]
