[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster upthread who asked why a woman would leave a good provider,[b] etc.[/b]  just because she didn't feel love, here's the thing:  Most of us women no longer marry because we need "three hots and a cot."  I am more than capable of buying my own house, paying my own mortgage, supporting my kids.  The idea that any guy in this day and age would say that [b]that's all he needs to bring to the table[/b] is ridiculous.  Why don't you think about what your value added is?  What else are you bringing to the table that perhaps I can't provide for myself?  It might be kind words, a helping hand, emotional support.  Just like a guy feels like he's just a paycheck and it's not enough and that's why he's outta there, a lot of women ask themselves, "Is this really all there is?"  Yes, when the economy changed and women became more empowered, it meant that men now have to up their game.  You're going to have to work a little harder now.  Just paying the bills is no longer enough.[/quote]

This post is just dishonest. You flag the provider item then bury the other qualities the PP mentioned under an "etc." Then you argue against a proposition that no one was making -- that whether a man is a provider ought to be the sole criteria for whether a wife stays or leaves.

The PP said the guy was a "good father, nice guy and a solid provider." So, when you talk about the only thing the husband is bringing to the table is being a provider, you are leaving out that the guy is a good father and a nice guy. Is that enough? In this case, obviously not. Should it be enough? Opinions differ. But no one is talking about just being a provider.
