I hate to burst your bubble, but I read your last issue about marriage and decided to inform you how it is in the real world. Men these days do not want a traditional marriage relationship. Ninety-nine percent of young men state they would not tolerate "a lazy woman who stays at home and does not earn her keep by having a job outside the home."
My husband works on a job, and 99 percent of all the young men under 35 or so feel this way. In fact, many men who work with my husband have advised him to divorce me on these grounds alone. Space limits me from all the derogatory comments my husband’s coworkers have hurled at me because I choose to be a homemaker–and these guys do not even know me personally.
S.G., Lexington, Alabama
I agree with you that unwanted sex
is a waste of time. I tried marriages, but they failed. The sex was good, but
it couldn’t hold the marriages together. I didn’t have a man
to support me long-term financially. The only reason I stay in a business relationship
is I am tired of being disappointed with men using me for sex and dumping me
afterwards. I agree with your teaching young people the truth, but it’s
hard to find a lifelong mate on the first try. Now we are really finding out
what is
happening in our country, and it isn’t pretty.
