[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP here. I have a happy marriage and DH is a wonderful husband and father. For me it was a combination of - - Having great parents, happy childhood and adulthood and seeing example of a good marriage growing up. - Having extremely supportive male figures in my life, namely, my two grandfathers, dad, uncles, brothers, my research advisor. - Being very well educated and financially emancipated. - Not caring if I ever married. My life was full and meaningful even as a single woman. - Having a LOT of male friends, relatives and collegues. I learned something from each of them. I was however not in a relationship (or hooking up) with them. I just remained comfortable in any male dominated enviornment. - Doing the work necessary (along with my DH) to make our marriage work. It is a choice sans abuse/adultry/addiction. [/quote] I agree with all of this. It was “luck” in crossing paths with my DH (helps that I attended a very prestigious but male dominated graduate program), but I never wavered on knowing my self worth and holding a high bar on integrity, EQ, communication skills, commitment to marriage and similar long-term goals.
