SAH/WOH--extramarital affairs
| Tue, 02-15-2005 - 12:54pm |
I was just at the gym this morning and overheard a conversation between two women on treadmills who were discussing/debating as to whether married sahms were any more or less likely to have affairs than married wohms.
I thought it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on this.

Goodness, everyone knows what you meant, it wasn't exactly novel. (I guess the upshot of what you are saying is also that it's stupid to have a WOH spouse if you'd rather they not stray.) BTW no one, even a sole breadwinner, has the ability to throw anyone out of their house absent a restraining order or the like.
"Any man with any self respect would not tolerate a cheater." Matter of individual circumstance. Just as it is for any woman.
Sorry, all four births WERE painful. I'd go so far as to say extremely painful but that doesn't make me begrudge my dh saying "We just had a baby." He doesn't need to physically expel a baby from his body to be able to say that.
Why are you all of a sudden a stickler for proper word usage? I'd hate to imagine the language limitations you hold for mothers of adopted children. Are they allowed to call the child "my baby" even though technically it isn't their's biologically? Do you call children bastards and idiots when those terms factually apply?

How is he "farther ahead financially" when you are no longer bringing home a paycheck but he is still paying the expenses that were associated with your former employment?
Yup. When you're debating someone who has such different values, it's hard to know where to start. How do you debate positions like, "Life is a grim struggle, love is a fallacy, and pursuing work you enjoy is selfish?"
When there's no common ground at all, then fruitful debate seems impossible.
So did someone who receives a bigger benefit cheque do more to earn theirs than you did to earn yours?
You may deserve the cheques. You didn't earn them. You'd receive them at this point, no matter what you did or didn't do. Bullying doctors and otherwise. Its what your husand did, and what society did to reward what he did, that earned the money. The cheques aren't a reward to you, from society, for your effort. They are a reward to society, from itself, given to itself in order to minimize the degree of destitution the society will need to deal with. Because destitution does not breed positive contribution to society.
You know so little about the law in the US that it's shameless. The legislative intent behind such laws concerning social security, say, or disability compensation is to foment family bonds and sticking by each other in difficult times, among other incentives. Kristi most certainly meets the legislative intent. She's earned the payments and her family is entitled to them.
Please post only when you know what the heck you're talking about. It's getting tiresome correcting your mistakes.
