Bitterness or cold observation?
Look at the stats? Look at history and popular culture! From Cindirella to Pretty Woman womens' dream and goal, with society's approval was to marry up and improve their economical situation. The truth is that historically women have always been trading sexual favours for wealth and security. This has not changed much in XXI century. The only thing that changed is that due to legal and socio-economical changes it is much easier for women to leave marriages and function the society on their own.
My point is that MOST women still chose to marry to improve their situation yet they still act surprised when their marriages fail.
I think our legal system based on a objctive to protect helpless women should change otherwise there will be less and less martiages.
You can marry a lazy girl who spent 10 years of marriage refusing to go to work yet in the end you still owe her 50% of marital wealth.
Thats crazy how divorce can ruin people....
