[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go for it if you want. The reason this is extraordinary uncommon among women who are college-educated isn't that it's stigmatized, it's that you're likely to be stuck in the same position most women are - doing most of the domestic labor, harming your earning potential - but with more likelihood the guy will leave and fewer protections if he does. It's just not a great deal for the woman unless she's not going to need his economic support, which isn't most couples. In a different cultural and legal context, obviously this plays out differently. [/quote] Is this all we are summed up to be? Our earning potential? [/quote] What are you talking about? If you want to be able to focus on taking care of your kids and not solely maximizing your earnings so that you could be self sufficient if your partner left tomorrow, marriage gives you protections that living together does not.
