My first wife wanted to be a man (in the figurative not literal sense). It was seven years of marital misery for me. I ditched her and found a woman who is happy being a woman. It has been eleven years of marital bliss for us. Meanwhile, wife 1 remarried, got divorced again after two years and has been by herself for the five years since. Just sayin’.

I walk a very fine line being the breadwinner. It makes economic sense for me to work one job and him stay home with the kids. He could work two, and we’d never see him, and still end up with less. I am always mindful of this, in every aspect of life. He has complete and total control over the money. I ask him for cash when I need it. I hope he doesn’t feel this way about me.
I stopped reading this screed when the author alleged (and I mean alleged!) that men were no longer interested in attractive women. They only appreciate intellectual, “engaged,” politically active women. What a farce!
>> My wife wanted to be a man ...
Same here - mine wanted to be able to do all the cool stuff that all us guys did. And she did it in spite of her sex. She’s now 66, retired as a Boeing 747 captain two years ago, and plays every summer on a co-ed softball team.
Been with her 33 years; have loved every minute of it. Sorry it wasn’t the same with your marriage.
