[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I want to know is how long these stay at home wives have been doing this?  I assume the DH is expecting them to become SAHM's.  I have no beefs with SAHM for the record.  I do wonder if the husband would one day give an ultimatum to have children or get to work.  I also wonder what happens if these women find they can't have children.  Would that impact the relationship any differently than say a wife that is working a full-time job?[/quote]

This happened to a good friend of mine. Got married at 20 right before finishing college and her husband didn't want her to work or go to graduate school, so she didn't.  All the volunteering/shopping/housekeeping fun ended when she was found to be infertile. After 3 years or so going through fertility treatments, surgeries, and eventually an unsuccessful adoption attempt, he divorced her for another woman and left her with NOTHING. With a liberal arts BA and ZERO work experience 5 years after college she was completely unable to obtain a decent job and support herself. She worked at car dealerships, clothing stores, restaurants, etc. Her family was poor and not at all supportive so she was completely on her own. Now at age 35 she works as a preschool teacher and rents an apartment with a roommate. Much different than her nice little 3BD house she had at age 20 when everything seemed perfect! Hard way to learn that lesson!

Crap happens. We all know that. The odd thing is that on DCUM, the crap is the rule rather than the exception. Wonder what their early lives must have been like to have this worldview.[/quote]

You think it's unusual to get divorced if you get married at 20 years old?[/quote]
