New Stats Show 51 percent of American women live without a husband
Interesting piece on ABC nightly news tonight.

Study shows 51 percent of American women are now living without a husband.

Women say they have more options now. This shows what many of us have known for a long time that most women get married because a man had better career options and financial security. Apparently women are now having by themselves better financial security so don't have to be closed into the option of marrying.

Women who are without a husband in most cases say they are not looking for a husband and are very happy making their own life choices.

I as a woman who was married then divorce can conceed that life is much more peaceful not being married and I am very happy single for over a decade.

I wouldn't mind being married, if it were fun and for companionship. But mostly marriege becomes about women being doormats that do everything and are hated anyway.

As a man, I'm quite happy about not having a wife as well.
I still have all of my stuff, no in-laws, and no live-in nag.

Indeed, could it be that 51% of women are single because the men want nothing to do with 51% of women?

How long has it been since the divorce? If within 2 years don't give up it gets better by the year. You have been trained by society that you need to have a mate but now you are learning you really don't. You start finding a new life and realize hey I can do this and don't NEED a man.

I am not against marriage myself if a person wants to be married. I am just happy single myself.

Did you miss the part about these women are NOT looking to get another husband and ARE happy? They don't want a husband, it isn't the men didn't want them. They don't care if a man wants them or not as they don't want a man ;)

Maybe people get married too quickly. eh?
All the people that I've known to last have been together for years before they became officially married.
Date a woman for minimum of three years and she wont be able to hide her evil ways that long - see her true colors and move on.

I recommend the same for a woman considering a man. Problem is don't live with him as then it is much more difficult to get away if you find he is abusive. Boyfriends can be hard to be rid of if they are abusive but it is harder if living with them as an abusive person get very possessive while living with them.

it's called accelerated alimony, can't recall the legal term, a technique ex mother-in-law's settlement attorneys are generally unaware of, since they weren't harvard cum laude grads. it will begin to expire one by one in about six months for all the good it will do me, as the established trust fund will expire then due to exhaustion. something that apparently the young trust manger is unaware of as she evidently just looked at the sum total before she began her come ons :)

the comments are quite telling. Bashing women for acting like gold diggers and princesses is becoming mainstream.

7 out of 8 exes just wanted money, 8 out of 8 mother-in-laws just wanted money, so that's what they get and cou;dn't wait to be included in the settlemtn and sign on the dotted line that said "until exhaustion of funds"

so, they should be happy

and btw the new 24 year-old trust accountant has mentioned severl atimes her dream has always been to take her mom on a worldwide cruise

I have a old relative who was a big game hunter and has a very large, very tall room full of all kinds of dead animals from grizzlys to all manner of African animals that he spent big money on traveling all over the world to bag them. At least he still has his stuffed animals to look at in his old age.

Geeze, I know I was born in the middle of the last century, but I dearly love taking care of a guy. I love to nurture. I love my career too. I support myself but I am very pleased to have my mate with me on weekends. I also love nurturing my children. It seems that people could restructure relationships to suit them and make them work. It's working for me like this, think about it folks.
