When both partners are working, it gives them less time to socialize. It is true that divorced couples don't have many common friends. One always finds career couples going separately to address their social obligations, be it Holiday party at office or friend's birthday. A home stay woman always accompanies the man in such social events and that helps them make common friends. Whereas a career couple tend to blame their spouses for their inadequacies and many times avoid going with them. Common friends could be the best marriage rescuers than any paid consulars. They know all that is going on from kitchen, bed and at work. Don't be afraid of getting dumped by a career women, be a man, it only makes things easy. There is more money to hire a nanny to clean your home. If you die, your kids don't have to live at mercy of others. A career woman is more willing to sign a prenuptial. The most important difference i find is, you can make a very intelligent conversation with a career women. She gets easily convinced or else makes you aware of things you don't know.

That was a disaster as far as I was concerned; she could never stand up for us or for what made sense, and told me -- you can always get more kids but you can't get another husband. I married twice without regard to what the men I married were earning at the time I married them, but they at least had jobs when I married them. The first marriage was to a friend of my parents who was 25 when I started dating him when I was 15. The second was to my boss, who was 36 when I married him when I was 25. Both times: these guys stopped working soon after I married them, watched TV, refused to work. I guess they thought that was what marrying up was about. Both rattled their sabers about alimony when I left them. The second one told me he had talked to a lawyer about how he could clean my clock since I made more money than he did. That is not what, I hope, real men are all about, but it's a lesson I will have to be sure my daughter is aware of. I don't want her threatened with alimony by a guy who tells her to fuck off, that women don't have the testosterone to support a family, and, by the way, he wants alimony. In all of this: I supported 3 kids (still fully supporting 2, who are still in high school) from these marriages. Their fathers figured it was my job to take care of that.

Now i am unhappy in my work, i have gone as far as i can working with my dyslexia and look forward to my princess riding in on a white horse and rescuing me.

Of course, some men say they feel uncomfortable with a woman who is more “intelligent” or “high-powered” than they are. My response is, “What are you, a pussy? Marry the smartest woman you can! Beauty fades, but you always need someone to edit you blog posts.” This is how my love for Neil started: researching articles for this list.

The article of the brouhaha seems innocuously straightforward. If people are focused on one thing, they will overlook other aspects of life. And? What you said reminds me of what a senior couple, lifelong actors each said. The husband is a skirt chaser and women seem to be giving the wife the eye saying, leash him. She shrugged magnanimously saying pah, he'll be back. No one can stand him for long like I can. (They had been married over 50 years at this point). I figure I can only chalk it up as a cultural dif.
