Most of my friends were stay at home moms that did it all while he worked. They weren't rich by any stretch.

Speak for yourself. My husband didn't sign up for some housebitch, he liked the fact I was an independent woman. I have to say some of you men don't bring much to the table

We know you don't want to get married and it's quite obvious that you have a pretty severe distaste for women - so did you just come on here to get some attention? You aren't married so you don't have anyone to split your chores with anyway. Get over it.

Maybe the brides in these cases went over budget, and talked their guy into making up the difference. The guy is already paying for the engagement and wedding rings. He shouldn't have to pay for wedding expenses unless the bride's parents are broke. If the bride refuses to stay within a budget, that could be considered a red flag. I wonder if your friends' wives are running up huge credit card bills, now that they're married.

I'm talking about career women that do not want to do traditional roles.

The longest and most healthy marriages are when both parties have traditional roles. The more society go against traditional roles that have worked for hundreds of years the more the marriage tate will continue to decrease

They are the same way they were before they got married. They are complaining about the same thing as before

I'm for traditional role marriages and I'm for prenups.

Ask anybody over 75 years old. Compare the marriage rate before and after the feminist movement. Traditional marriages have always worked especially with my grandmothers generation.

Are you married?

Are you a woman?

If not you're simply stirring the pot in a thread about married women.

Because frankly no-one gives a crap whether you like traditional marriages or not.
