I've given you examples in the broad sense. For individual answers, you'll have to look to the individual WM's who touch your life. I guarantee there are WM's who touch your life with their services.

In general, we contribute our services and our taxes to name two. We also model many different professions for women.

Whatever. Was that supposed to make sense? You got one thing right, this has nothing to do with my working status.

Sounds like a vote of approval for getting out. Yup. Dh isn't perfect so it's time to leave.

You guys should be happy that I've finally seen what a miserable lech I'm married to and am getting out. Lord knows I've been told enough times here that I should kick him to the curb. Sounds like I'm damned if I do and damned if I don't so I'll do what needs to be done. I would be a piss poor example for my dd's if I stayed after the book incident so I won't.

While our mothers are our strongest role models, they are not our only role models. It's not an absolute. We just tend to do what we see modeled. A tendency is not a sure thing.

Where did I say he needed to be perfect? I just dont understand why you would remain in a loveless marriage for so long, touting the benefit of the children as a reason (which you have done a time or two in the past).

You should have left a long time ago, imo. Would have been better for your dds

Try again. Some things happen with so much frequency they're considered normal. Women quitting when they have babies is one of them.

No, I said what we model is a contribution we make to society. Never used the words "Look up to". Not once.
