"Leaning in" had nothing to do with the demise of this man.  He died while on a vacation and while taking care of his health in a freak accident.

He did not die because his wife was "Leaning In", and he was working two jobs and looking after his kids and was stressed  and had a heart attack at his office desk!

In fact, because his wife "leaned in", she is not a widow who is struggling financially now, even when her DH died suddenly at a very young age.

- A SAHM who did not "Lean In"

Thank you. I am not a paragon of career ambition but some people's reactions to this tragedy are disgusting. They apparently had a wonderful, loving, supportive marriage. They were lucky enough to have 10 great years together. It is very, very sad; why are some people looking at his death and seeing vindication for their own decision to NOT lean in?

I'm wondering why people never celebrate the marriages of a couple in which one parent is completely supportive of the other parent staying home to take care of their children?  By all accounts, Dave Goldberg did everything possible to facilitate his wife's career - good for him.  That career is the path she chose.  What about men who support their wives who have chosen the path of leaving the workforce to care for the family's children?  I say good for them as well.  I'm eternally grateful to be married to such a man - a true partner in every sense of the word.[/quote]
