The Hidden Costs Of Dual Income Relationships

Here's is the problem , the OP is small minded and sexist. It is true that there are plenty of benefits to well managed single working parent relationships for families. But, why does it have to be the woman who gets to stay home and grow pumpkins , train for marathons and all comers events and whatnot?

All comers events? Now that's a hotwife!

This thread sure blew up. The funny thing is that it's the least serious thread I've ever made. I didn't even read the blog post before I copy-pasted it. I'm not sure I agree with it. I agree with about 70% of Chateau-Heartiste's posts.

Jamin it is because you are the collective son of LRC and we love you 😍😍😍

Maybe not getting deleted within the first 20 minutes helped it rise to prominence

Call me crazy, but I'd rather be in a relationship that involves two strong, independent people coming together to form something even stronger, not a relationship where two dependent people get together and stay together because they need each other.

Ok I'll call you crazy. Good luck with this by the way. Good luck being independent and good luck somehow finding another independent person (who of course you aren't looking for because you don't need anyone), and good luck staying with this person.

Nice sounding idea, really it is, but generally not reality. I won't call him crazy so much as a little naive.

Not as niave as the men paying a large chunk of alimony, moaning that "all women" want a man to pay for them.

I disagree that a dual-income marriage is worse. I would rather marry a woman with a good, stable job in-case I get injured and can't work or laid off/fired. Although, for coupled having children, a stay-at-home mom is awesome for the kids during their early years before school.

Off couse divorce rates will drop off with an older crowd. Those same people are now old, fat, more wrinkled and can not longer pull with the same game. Give them a youthful look and it would be a different story.

I think we have a double edge sword here. 1. Men don't respect the fact a woman is married and flirt whenever they get a chance. 2. She gets attention from multiple people and likes it. Its just a matter of time before she cheats with someone. Guess the husband needs to create a tinder profile. =)
