@victoria.therese: If that’s not an option the way it is for him, then it’s not a choice to stay anymore as much as it is that you lose that ability to choose the longer you’re in it.
This is actually why my marriage feels utterly safe. Because after 14 years we have routine conversations around what structural uncoupling would look like if need be. Because it makes sure our relationship is a choice not a habit/trap

This is a very single mentality.

Simple. There is no freedom without independence. This applies in every single thing but the internet wants us to think marriage is somehow different

The way I like to think about it is agency vs autonomy. Autonomy is the power to make a choice within a social structure that has power over you. They are making a choice, sure, but it’s a choice dictated by the patriarchy that then prevents them from growing into agency. Agency is making a choice to exist in a way that allows you more freedom from patriarchy, not become dependent on it

Honestly, I am very satisfied with my life trajectory right now. I went to college, graduated with honors. lived in Europe, lived in five states, and traveled around the world. worked corporate jobs, retail jobs, restaurant jobs, was a living nanny, and now live back home with my mom as my dream job of a stay at home daughter.. And I do not have to take care of a male. But I always know I have options if that ever changes.
