Should women marry – yes.
(DcFather, wow, you must have had a really bad experience…sorry)
I’m recently divorced (July ’07) but should have been divorced almost 7 years earlier. The problems my ex-wife and I had were mostly on the expectations front. We did talk about it and, stupid me, I ignored or discounted some of her answers. The other problems came from back-ground. There had only been 1 divorce in my parent’s generation and only 1 in my generation. My ex’s mother has been married 4 times.
So, my additional two cents for women is to make sure you check into your intended’s family a little bit. Find out if he’s been raised with commitment to marriage as a very important thing. (Men, do the same)
My ex and I are still good friends and we actually work better together now that we aren’t married.
For the record, I filed, not my ex. I finally decided it was better for both of us to split than to stay miserable. Thankfully, the only children we had/have are pets with fur and four legs.
