Well, single mom, since you have no idea how to keep a marriage together and working, you aren’t really a good person to comment on relationship dynamics, are you?  [/quote]

How do you know the reasons for being single? [/b]

[quote=Anonymous]  I’m glad that you want to do everything alone.  Some of us want to find a way to raise our children with involved partners.  [/quote]

Most of the responses on these threads are descriptions of a husband completely incapable of involvement, and assurances they will never be capable of involvement. In many cases, they are abusive and should not be around children. These women arguably should be single, and probably would be if given the opportunity to be safe with their children from a husband who would harm them with abuse or neglect during and after a divorce.

But yes to the minority of respondents who have husbands who can be involved, they should be and it's worth fighting for.[/quote]

That's irrelevant. The point is that someone who isn't married isn't a good person to comment on the dynamics of a marriage. I don't play lacrosse so I shouldn't opine on how to do so. I do play water polo, so I can speak competently on that topic. It's not rocket science. (Which I don't know about and shouldn't give my opinion on). [/quote]

Sounds like some of you want to have it both ways - you want to tell us marriage dynamics are so important while telling us you are married to a useless AH.[/quote]

I'm actually not married to a useless AH. Perhaps I am competent enough to give marriage advice on this topic since my husband and I have worked jointly to create an equitable household with which we are both happy.[/quote]

You said a widow can’t comment. I stand corrected. You are the AH.
