[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No upside to marriage for her. [/quote]

I think this is becoming the norm.  Historically, men brought financial stability to the table and women brought home/kid stability to the table.  Now women have as much earning potential as men and still manage home/kids.  So what does a woman get out of a marriage?  Add to it that a financially successful woman can afford IUI/IVF, then there isn't even the need for a male partner to conceive a child.

Many people will argue that a 2 parent household is more stable and creates a more loving environment than a single parent household or that by having a child as a single woman deprives a child of a male role model and an opportunity to grow up around a healthy adult relationship.  I think that's true if you have a healthy adult relationship to model for your kid---but it seems that many on DCUM are unhappy and want to leave except for the kids.  To me, that says the relationship isn't that healthy.  Male role models can be provided by many people--not just the biological dad.

People in relationships now have to be able to bring something to the table to enhance the other persons life.  They cant fall back on older gender sterotypes.[/quote]
