[quote=Anonymous]Successful, single UMC mom here. My ability to earn meant I didn't have to accept my spouse's bad behavior (underemployed, extra marital friendships, lack of interest in childcare, unequal effort at home, excessive drinking, lack of financial control). I did try (therapy, etc) for years but he would not step up. I weighed the pros and cons and sadly decided that I couldn't endure him anymore. I'd rather be married to the man I *thought* I was marrying who was functional but, once I had kids, the stakes became too high for me to tolerate his bad behavior, and my earning ability meant I didn't have to.
