[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my [b]52 years[/b] I can count on one hand the number of marriages I’ve seen that had anything in them to envy - most are about women in servitude and living in some degree of mutual contempt. I most definitely have times when [b]I lament my singledom [/b]and I’m sure my whole life would be better if I’d married and had kids. And I’m sure there are some things I would have really really loved about family life. But I am just not a person who eats poop well at all and there is enough of it in working life especially if you are an accomplished woman coming up against sexism and then ageism. I prefer my home life to be a peaceful sanctuary where I am appreciated and respected at all times. My dogs and I have always managed that. [/quote] It’s great you are happy single and have led a wonderful life. Most women aren’t able to achieve the same things in life without a male partner. The best thing financially for a woman is to get married. Especially if she’s a white woman who can marry a man in a white collar job. Most women won’t go on nice vacations, will live in a small apartment, drive an old car etc by not being married. Just look at what divorce does financially to women. So it’s awesome you’ve done so well and I assume a lot of the reason you’re content is that you had a successful career and earned enough money to live a lifestyle similar to a man. Keep in mind that a lot of women still can’t pull this off. Think of how many women are nurses, teachers or have $60k corporate jobs in some flyover city. [/quote]
