If you can do better, why did you marry the loser?!?

Stop thinking in terms of "doing better". Think in terms of cost-benefit analysis. What are you prepared to sacrifice in terms of dignity/content, to get financial stability/social recognition? And if you got out, would you be happier living without a boyfriend/spouse?

Do not get pregnant or have any kids - you will be tied to him for life. Or at least about 20 years.

How long have you been married? Does he know or suspect how you feel?

Get comfortable with the idea that you can be happy on your own, and then you don’t have to worry about whether you can do better than your husband, the question becomes simply whether you are happier with your husband than you would be on your own.

40% is not worth it. Wouldn't you get a new job if you were only 40% happy? Get out. Bette to be single and happy than weighed down and drained by a no supportive family. Would they be there (including dh) if something bad happens?

My marriage is ok and I’m happy about 40% of the time.

I don’t know if I can even do better so why would I mess up my stability?


Friends and family sometime just nod and say things that sound supportive but when the sh#t hits the fan...they will not be there for you.

I can’t imagine living my life with a goal of 40% happiness in a relationship.
