Originally posted by mudskipper View PostIt's not that he holds her back - it's that they enter a relationship where the income is one-sided for the good of the family unit. It's a joint decision, and one that shouldn't be taken if you're not prepared to stick to it long term, as it's one that's very difficult to reverse.
If I married her and enjoyed a higher standard of life because of the relationship why should I continue to enjoy the benefits of the relationship if I end it? I should go get a job and support myself.
I should be no worse off than I would have been if I never married.
Its a bit like resigning and saying 'oh my new job doesn't pay as much, can you send me pay cheques for the difference ?'Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment
