When a man doesnt want to f..k you anymore he will dispose of you and your joint kids with him like trash. Remember it for the rest of your life that 80% of men would do that. Decide accordingly on career[/quote]

The reality is that a man can decide he wants someone else based on factors that you have no control over. And he may commit to a new life and do a lot of shifting of assets years before you know anything. [b]Many men do become resentful of a non-working spouse. [/b]As the "trophy" of a SAH wife is shifting to the "trophy" of a successful spouse, the position of SAH moms will continue to become more perilous. If it works, great. But if it stops, you can be a lot worse off than you could have imagined. And CS stops. If you have been completely out of the working world, to get a job that will give you a middle class income in DMV in your late 40s or 50s will be difficult. Age discrimination is real. There used to be some stigma of divorce. My ex's boss and his boss both had multiple marriages. The culture where DH spends most waking hours has more influence over time than the SAH wife does. And workplace affairs in law firms, etc are common. My ex really loved the thrill of the initial sneaking around he told me. Midlife crises are real and you can end up very harmed by them, your kids, too. [/quote]

You think a high earning man is really going to respect a 200k career?  [/quote]

My DH literally said “I pay more than that in taxes”   :roll: [/quote]

That sounds like an issue with your DH being an entitled ass. I’m a woman and I make more than that in taxes. But I have lots of friends who make around that, and they’re in extremely respectable, challenging jobs. Their husbands definitely see that as a major asset, and weren’t interested in a wife who wasn’t [b]using that part of her brain[/b]. [/quote]

This is so strange to me.  I can’t imagine someone respecting someone more because they have an office job.  Very few jobs require that much intelligence.  [/quote]

Idk why repetitive paper pushing from 9-5 in a small cubicle is considered worthy of stimulating someone's neurons.[/quote]
