[quote=Anonymous]To me, it's not just a question of divorce, losing a job, disability, etc.  For me, I want to feel confident and honestly, I want my husband to know, that I always have choices.  And good choices.  I think this ultimately affects the nature of our relationship.  Like a PP, I watched my MIL put up with a cheating, emotionally unavailable husband for years because she didn't work and had no money of her own.  Not a position I ever want to be in.  How many women of our mother's generation stayed in crap relationships because they really didn't have any better choice?  More than a few.

I know this will get the obligatory...well I married a great guy and we're equals and we'd never treat each other poorly and he'd never do those things and he values all I do at home with our kids.  I'm sure that's all true.  But I also think life is very, very long and so are many marriages.  I intend to be married to my (wonderful) husband for 40+ years.  And the whole time, we'll both know we're there for each other.  Not because we can't make it without each other financially.
