>>I thought I was happily married, then the best friend of my wife got divorced........ I was divorced myself within the year.<<
Yep. Same thing here. I literally did not see it coming.
One of the reasons they are doing it, I believe, is because they “can” and play down the negatives and play up the positives.
A woman in a prarie log cabin in the early 1800’s would be kinda stuck if she divorced her husband. Of course, like is mentioned in the article I posted from Fred, many feminists consider this newfound “freedom” for married women to be a Good Thing. Kinda like picking up a hot chick at a sleazy bar is a Good Thing, until you come down with the clap.
Sexual and physical abuse, of herself or her children, that a woman wouldn't have the economic freedom to leave.
My father said he read a book about the habits of the upwardly mobile (not those born wealthy, but those born poor who become wealthy) - and one thing they seem to NOT do is divorce.
Divorce killed me economically.
I used to own a three bedroom house with an ocean view and we had a maid twice a month and a gardener every week. The two of us worked hard, but lived like royalty. We had a combined income well over 100k a year.
Now I live in an apartment and have debt and a tax bill, had to shortsale the house in a down economy.
On the plus side she was the best damn roommate I ever had! Payed half the bills, was sexy as hell, and kept ME real happy!
Being single hasn't been so bad either. A LOT of desperate women out there!
