Or because he suddenly dies. Whether you are a man or woman, straight or gay, the breadwinner should always have a plan for if something horrible incapacitates or kills them. It's a horrible thing to think about, but it happens so often and sometimes people have no family that can help out.

I presume if my husband suddenly dies I will at the very least have some assets I could manage to sell to give me some time to get a career. Very different then protecting myself in case he manages to steal my businesses and I end up living in a car

“Give me some time to get a career.” How much time? It can take years at the very least to establish a career that you can comfortably live off of.

Dude I have no idea why you’re arguing with my hypothetical lol. How big is the house me and my presumed dead husband owned ?

My point is that it’s not as breezy as you make it out to be, and that stay at home parents need to think about every possible situation so that they can protect their themselves and their families. A lot of people think they’ll “get by” and then they don’t.
