Obviously, women being the primary breadwinner is the way of the future. Get used to it. If you can’t handle it at least hang around long enough to win alimony in the divorce. The concept behind alimony has always been “winner pays.” If that doesn’t pan out consider other options than marriage. That seems to be gaining in popularity as well, although women seem to be writing belittling articles about men who opt to not marry, calling them immature, etc. Just understand guys that you are not going to make women happy. The thrill of victory seems to make them just as bitter as the role of non-earning housewife. Better learn to make yourself happy and leave it at that.
