Thank you for not using sarcasm, as seems to be the trend in this post. I can see I could have worded my question a little more carefully.
As for people who think I am bored or not trying hard enough, it is my husband who cannot/will not change and I have no control over that. I have made the changes asked of me.
It would be great if people did not make judgements when they do not have all the facts.
I answered you without any sarcasm.
I actually know a housewife who met a man while she was in the process of leaving another man. She brought along two kids, even.
You willing to have more kids for your new husband who will support all of you?

I understand and appreciate that. But I don't think acknowledging that men often line up "accommodations" for when they leave a relationship is not uncommon is not a sweeping generalization. If she had said, "All men are the same..." then I would agree she made a generalization and would take whatever followed with a grain of salt. I don't think that's what she did.
If you can't even recall what was said theres no sense in disagreeing.
She didnt say often. She said, and I quote, even with caps locks as she used them to emphasize her point "CONSTANTLY"
I'm all for disagreeing but quote what she actually said instead of downplaying what was actually said.
Please tell me you can see the difference between these two statements.

You're an adult I imagine. Please tell me you can see the difference between these two statements.
"Some men sleep around"
"Men CONSTANTLY sleep around"

I am not disagreeing with that. I said it was not uncommon, in fact. To say "something is not uncommon" is another way of saying "it happens constantly" which is what the poster in question said. Not sure where your disagreement is...
Here's what she said:

I would disagree with "...men ALWAYS..." or "...ALL men..." but here statement as written is not untrue. It's an acknowledgement of reality. Men do frequently (or constantly if you will) do exactly what she described. Again, I'm not sure why you would be so upset by my comments.

I am unhappily married with children. I have been a stay at home mom/ housewife most of our marriage aside from the past 6 years of running a business with my husband. We have been to 2 different marriage counselors in the last year to no avail.
I want a divorce but would like to resume being a housewife. Are there any men interested in a stay at home wife? (that would treat her well and not as their property?)
And while we are on the topic, are there any women interested in letting me stay at home?
my dream is to own a cottage/farm with no neighbours around for 100 miles. i'd live in cottage/farm with my wife. we'd have one or two pet dogs, multiple hunting rifles, and be as self-sufficient as one can reasonably expect to be in the modern world. every morning id wake up to tend the fields and animals, and my wife would tend to our kids. we've switch up or help each other however much the other one wanted. this is the only situation where i'd want to "support" a house-wife... also if she had some kind of artistic dream or go back to school/ do something kind of dream where she couldn't be working to do it.
Incidentally I have a friend like the op who was divorcing and wanted a new man to support her like her former husband. She ended up getting a job because she found out when didn't want to support her. She was also obese and lazy but that's not the point, the point is she found out this was unlikely.
Never take a woman for granted - if you do - you will live to regret it. Be kind- help out...a woman is not a servant nor is a man- you must serve each other. Family life is a wonderful experience and gift- cherish it - it does not last forever.
This is a wonderful post. It is too bad men can't figure this out for themselves. Put her on a pedestal, be kind to her, and be a help mate, if you do you will not have many of the problems that plague some couples. When a woman really values you, she will do just about anything to keep you happy if you treat her right.
