In reply to the discussion: Mitt Romney: Mothers Should Be Required To Work Outside Home Or Lose Benefits [View all]Warpy
(114,580 posts)23. Not my story, thank goodness
My ex was a mensch even if he was a faithless alcoholic and supported me through nursing school, my ticket out. For my part, I took only the equity in the house and things he had no use for like my looms and fiber. I left him a furnished house full of small appliances, his power tools, and even art on the walls. I left him in great shape, in other words, while I started over from scratch.
However, I'd been told it was a bad idea to try to breed so I didn't. Dialysis at 30 sounded like a lousy time.
However, I've watched too many friends and acquaintances who were left with nothing when hubby followed his dick out of the marriage. I know what women go through when they're kicked to the curb with kids to feed.
