[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're pleased with this? Why?[/quote]

OP here. I meant to say that I'd be satisfied with almost any path she chooses.[/quote]

Problem with this path is that she needs to find someone who will support and take care of her as an adult and never change their mind. That’s a tough life. [/quote]

It’s really not that tough.  Working your ass off at a job you hate (or merely tolerate) for a boss and coworkers who don’t appreciate you, commuting through traffic for a couple hours every day, barely seeing your spouse, barely seeing your kids… now THAT’S a tough life.[/quote]

Putting up with demanding kids who learn from their father that you are a servant, while your husband bangs the new 20 something at the office can really take a toll.  Especially when there is no path to retirement except death.  You will always be expected to host, cook, clean, serve, and care for everyone else forever and ever and ever.  When your husband retires you job gets harder.[/quote]

Np. We have a warm home. My kids do chores. DH is a partner. I’m not anyone’s servant.[/quote]

Hahahahahaha.

You mean he hasn't cheated....yet....

Just wait.[/quote]

DH is not that type. Even if we were to divorce, I would be fine financially. I would take one of our properties. I have my own money and I would also take half our marital assets. No prenup.[/quote]

Good for your preparation.  Most men don't respect a woman who doesn't work.  By most men, I mean all the ones I work with who have SAH spouses who are as happy and secure as you.  I see how they talk about you to others, even when they are faithful.  They don't respect you.  Occasionally they generally don't respect women, period, even if they work.[/quote]
