If we realize that the legal system has made the wife essentially a stockholder who is entitled to a stream of dividends from her marriage, and who has a right to sell when she sees fit, it's no surprise that women choose to sell when there is a sustained decline in earnings.
- zaroth 10y agoIt really is a lease-hold. There's no selling the shares, and the dividends don't stop. Apparently the wife keeps the shares until remarrying.

- tempVariable 10y agoNot lying when I say this and I quote a certain wife who I know "... I wish he was drinking, or bad to me or the kids. It would makes things much easier ..." This is in a situation where she is absolutely not fit for family life and is the one who is unprepared for realities of being a mom and a wife. Literally, this is a person who has not grown up yet and constantly looks for comfort without being able to show it to her family. I honestly can say that folks get into marriages more by happenstance than solid planning. Maybe I'm wrong. Who knows.

- DoubleMalt 10y agoGiven that the laws are gender symmetric that poses the question why men enter business relations with rent seekers.
