[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad that some many people are married to immature and irresponsible men. I don’t feel like I “got a good one” because my husband can handle things like teacher appreciation week and laundry. I want to tell women that they shouldn’t have to settle for slobs that can’t pull their weight with kids and house stuff - but I don’t because it feels smug. I really hate it when people joke “can you train my husband?” - no I can’t. He came into our relationship as a self sufficient, responsible adult. [/quote]

PP here. I can echo many of these things.
[b]Where I do feel smug (and I probably shouldn't) is realizing how many of these women just crossed their fingers and hoped for the best when it comes to things like working together and raising children.[/b][/quote]

In my early 30s, it was wild to see how many educated women I knew simply married the guy they were dating at the time.  There were very few weddings during that time where I felt like I was seeing a celebration of a great love story.  The marriages seemed transactional, and went forward despite issues that seemed obvious because the timing was right.  I'm not sure how truly happy these people are or aren't today.  Some of them got divorced within 5 years of their wedding, so I guess I can gather that at least those went poorly.[/quote]
