KTC,

Alright! I'll buy into that to some degree. There are going to be cases out there where men feel inferior and run away from a situation. However, they know that going into the situation. Most women that we know or have had contact with are traditionally very loving people who want to preserve the institution of marriage at almost all costs. But, not all are that way. However, you might consider that you are imposing your traditional marriage ideas on a new generation that do not think the way that you do. Couples are living together where they did not do that during your time as much as they do now. So they should have these issues worked out before they tie those knots.

When my mother and father married in 1935, she made more money than he did at the time of the marriage. So, they kept it a secret until he found a job. That was then and this is now.


Regards,


Joe


To say that "God exists" is the greatest understatement ever made across space and time.

Joe:

You and I are old bastards, living under the old rules and customs. It was easy for us.

Not so easy for a young man to marry and build a family when he can barely support himself, and his future wife is a better breadwinner than he. Running away is a common solution.
