[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a woman in a great marriage for 25 years, and gave been birth WOHM and SAHM.  All of these women claiming to know no happy marriages or only one or two must just hang out with low quality, unhappy people.  Virtually every couple in know - from our neighborhood, the kids’ schools, my workplace,  growing up - is content in their marriage.  Well more than half of these marriages involve both spouses working.  Sometimes, it just really is you that is the problem.[/quote]

I bet the women you know could not support themselves divorced. I do not have the time to hang out with people. I work a lot: I was married. It was awful. Double the work while he skated along at home. Women with demanding careers are likely unlike people you know…you do not know what is going on in others marriages. Our neighbors are still shocked we divorced. It looked perfect. It was awful. [/quote]

Dp. This may blow your mind: I sah AND dh contributes to the running of the household. He washes dishes every night, he cooks or helps me cook dinner most nights, he grocery shops on a weekend morning, he performs general maintenance around the house, etc, etc AND he is loving and attentive to me and our kids. We are not financially rich, we're solidly middle class, but we are content with our lives. He could earn much more, but we'd never see him.[/quote]

And you could not support yourself if you divorced. Good for you that you lucked out, so who cares? A stay at home mom with an equally contributing husband is not the norm. [/quote]
