Well, let's see. I can tell you it's NOT fairy tale land since I'm living it. While I feel terrible for you, I don't think your situation should be some banner for why girls shouldn't get married, stay home, etc. Like I said in another post, if you are busy worrying and planning for an eventuality that may never happen, you will miss out on life.
Again, sorry for your situation, but don't out of your misplaced rage sit here and demean those of us who do stay home by insinuating that what we live does not exist.
BTW, I would point out that by the tone of your post, you are not really refuting what this says right? Life has thrown you some loops, but it doesn't seem that you are all that happy with working even though you have too, so what was wrong about this post. just because women feel they have to work because of irresponsible men doesn't mean that makes them anymore happy or less miserable because they HAVE to work. My guess is you would still choose to stay home being supported by a LOYAL and DEVOTED man, than work, no? Your divorce has not changed the basic desires of many women? Or refute what this article says.
BTW as for being bitter. . . honey, if you've been through what i've been through, you'd be a tad acerbic yourself!
if i choose to tell my life story to people, they come away gasping and questioning to themselves "gee, i thought the straight and narrow route always worked out in the end?"
one thing i know: in life there are definitely no guarantees; and implied contracts stand on weak ground.
