I used to think like heyjudd. But when you decide to get married, it's the union of 2 families and then there's commitment of all sorts. Your lives become intertwined and yes, as an independent woman, I always say I will walk out. But many women, they are reliant on their man, be it financially, emotionally or simply physically having a warm body. I have seen very brave women walked out of their marriages and they they sink into a point of no return. They no longer have friends, they close their social circle up and some sink into depression of various level. I don't know anymore if living in some kind of denial is better than facing the cold hard truth of should be. And when you have kids, the complication is multiplied. But as with the women in the articles, when things blow up, I will probably also take a strong stand and be by my man's side but as life moves like it would, I might just walk out or take a back seat. Priorities in like might have changed significantly then. But who's to tell or judge? If you ask me, I don't know what I would do unless I'm thrown into the deep end of the pool.
