[quote=Anonymous]My MIL worked a few years in her 20s before getting married and never worked again. The problems with her setup were/are: 1. My FIL was a cheating asshole who treated her like crap and I personally believe she stuck it out with him because she thought she didn't have any better options and was too scared to go it alone. 2. She had zero independent access or insight into their money situation. See the part about how he was an asshole. She was pretty much on an allowance and when he died before her, she was utterly clueless. As in, she didn't know how to write a check. I certainly think that some women can never work their whole lives and have great lives, great relationships, add a ton of value to their community and families, etc. But for some women, like my MIL, the whole thing seems very disempowering.[/quote]
