Quote From: wendydarlingtxYup, yup! I hear you and I excitedly raise my hand.
My mother has always instilled in me to get the best education and job
possible, so that I can always rely on myself when the going gets truly
tough. I guess being married to a man like my father, she learned that
lesson the HARD way.
You know, I am very self-sufficient. I have a higher education and was on a great career path when I married my husband. We decided that we both wanted to structure our life so that I could stay home with our children. I haven't had an income in over four years. Do I feel entitled to half the marital assets? You are darn tootin' I do!
Fortunately, I married a man who feels the same way...who values my contributions to our life, family, and home as much (actually, more) than he values the almighty dollar. A marriage is a partnership..a joint venture. People who can't wrap their heads around that SHOULD NOT GET MARRIED. And for God's sake, women should not live with a man in a house that is in just his name, contributing to the life and lifestyle, and getting no financial security or benefit in return.
