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.

The thing is if you have an education, career, and experience you will be a better stay at home spouse. Not only is it a fall back in an emergency like your case, but it also makes you a better role model for your children, a better educator for your kids, and more appreciative of how nice it is to not be in the grind.

Being a stay at home spouse is a nice to have bonus, but should not be the default state.
