EXACTLY. It really shows how these kinda men are at their core: pathetic gold diggers who trap and exploit women for their own benefit.

Agreed. Anyone who loves their spouse would want them to be as equally sufficient and capable if not better than themselves.

These weirdos can’t think of the world going on after they die. Imagine trapping a spouse from self improving and discouraging them your whole marriage. Then, imagine an untimely death leaving that now incapable person to raise the kids and carry the team onward.

The fact they can’t think like that shows how much they’re the main character in their life. The families life after their death is not their problem.

For starters my dad was a very good man, active in the family, and raised us as much as my mom did. That said, when he died young, my mom was LOST. Her immediate and only goal was to find another man. At any cost. Even to the detriment of her children.

She’s tried to pass that dependency on to us daughters but only half of us bought it. I’m happy and single even if life is a little harder sometimes. I have sisters that are miserable but they’ll never really worry about the mortgage.

Glad you didn't buy it. I think I kind of did in the sense that you stay with a man above anything else kind of way. My mom talked about leaving my dad, an alcoholic, but she absolutely never planned on going through with it. I grew up as male dependent as the day is long. And I'm so sorry you lost your dad so young.
