[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh? I was firmly seated on the gravy train by my DH who begged me to quit to be a SAHM.  He is a great dad and wanted the very best for our children. Even by outsourcing household work, having a nanny, doing his part, juggling tasks - he knew that our kids were not getting the best.

So, he made sure that I was economically secure forever, we had a whole lot of insurance, and we hired whatever staff we needed, so that I could find it worthwhile to be a SAHM. He has continued to be a very engaged DH and dad even after all that.  Yes, we have not earned as much as we could but he is sure having the last laugh among his dual income buddies who are having relationship or parenting issues.

Been married 35 years.  I haven't worked for 20 years.  Never going back to work. He will retire in 4 more years.

Why divorce over imbalanced home workload?  It is a staffing issue, is it not?  Not a problem. It is an expense.  [/quote]

You seem to be very confused about what marriage is.  Marriage is mainly a social and legal contract for kids, family, legal status and finances.

Live together without marriage.  You will not be beholden financially to the partner. Why marry?

Similarly, there is zero reason for most people to have kids. You can have a wonderful life as a childless person.

Good for those women who wanted careers for reasons other than money.  I was not a doctor saving lives. I was basically working in corporate America and I was working for money.  I am sure most women and men in this country will quit in a second if they win several millions in a lottery.

What I find very interesting is that all the women who want careers for reasons other than money are usually moms with children.  And the reason they want careers for reasons other than money is that they can't stand looking after their kids.  
 Even the title of this thread is probably talking about married moms, rather than married women who are in DINK relationships.
