[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband probably isn't in the top 10% but is above mediocre and if anything happen to him there is no way in hell I would ever remarry. 
I really can't think of many positives. Marriage has brought me that I didn't have while we were dating. In fact, he was more fun when we were dating. Lol...

I am fully capable in financially stable enough to raise children on my own. I would feel badly for them that they did not have a father, but to be honest he's probably involved in 25% of what they do anyway. 
I cook. I clean. I do the shopping. I work I go to the sporting events. He will drive them to practice. Yeah I think I could probably find someone to carpool with if anything happened to him. 🤪[/quote]

Sounds like you chose poorly or that he was the best option you had available at the time you wanted to get married and have children. Why would we draw any conclusions about marriage from someone who is, admittedly, bad at choosing a spouse or was willing to compromise on quality because of limited options?[/quote]

Are you the same poster all upset that lower-quality men are being described as mediocre and women are being warned to have higher standards? If so could you please pick a lane?[/quote]

No, that was my first post in the thread. I just think the women complaining about having a bad husband have already shown why their views shouldn't be considered. They either chose poorly, in which case we shouldn't really care about their insights, or they settled for the best they could get, which means that they aren't some saint deserving a better man, but rather, got the mediocrity they deserve.[/quote]

So don’t listen to happy women saying don’t settle, and don’t listen to unhappy women saying don’t settle. Are there any women whose views you do respect?[/quote]

No, it has nothing to do with happy or not. I would say that those who chose well (happy or not in life) probably have good insights on marriage. I was originally responding to someone who seems to have chosen poorly, so she probably doesn't add much value to the conversation.[/quote]
