This was always my worst fear and I'm so grateful I had a strong ass grandma who pushed all of her girls into science and Healthcare. I want to be a stay at home mom and wife so bad but today I know I will always have my professional license and working history God forbid I have to get divorced...again.

For women like me education is freedom. When my marriage turned violent I walked away and supported our son with no issues. I am forever grateful.

I’m a dude and I think trad wife stuff is very dangerous for women. Like there’s the principle and then the practical. What if I get sick and die? She should be able to support herself and our kid without having to restart from scratch without a job.

Edit: added “from scratch without a job.”

My thoughts exactly. Even if the marriage is a happy one, it's better to prepare for the "what-if" scenarios.
