My worst fears, realized...
Okay, first check out this previous post. Now, the part that I actually wanted you to pay attention to was my hesitation at being married to a man who might make less than me. I guess I could skirt the issue by fudging how much I make... but then lying and trust issues would pop up later on in the relationship, and NO ONE wants that. The underlying issue in that thought is: WOULD a man want to marry a career woman? My sources seem to point to no. Then again, I become optimistic and then everything in the world is right and good. For a little bit.Now, check out this article (and rebuttal). Some guy wrote about how men should stray away from marrying what he terms "career women". Why? Increase divorce rates, decreased child and spouse happiness, the wife not wanting children because she is career oriented, etc. Then a woman wrote a nice rebuttal about how she is a career woman, who just so happens to be happily married and have children who she adores.
Thank you, Michael, for making me feel like wanting to be educated, work more that 35 hours a week, and earn more that $30K/year myself IS NOT WHAT I WANT TO DO. As if I can't degrade myself enough in my spare time.
And thank you, Elizabeth, for (1) kicking him in the ass, and (2) being the beautiful counterexample.
