Wow, this is really sexist/misogynistic. Don't project your issues onto women in general due to the outcome of your marriage. Also, I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that in this case and a lot of cases relationship issues has to do more with the partner's unavailability, physical and emotional and bringing stress over finances into the relationship, more than the actual financial limitations themselves. If people in your life are constantly dissatisfied and jumping ship due to your self employment work you may be suffering from workaholism. It's true that during certain periods people just don't have time for a relationship and that's fair to avoid that but if you're in an established relationship you need to examine your priorities and have a really serious talk.
