Why is every single woman who advises that someone leaves their SO/DH seen as thirsty/lonely/vindictive?
This isn't really directed at you, I have just noticed this tone here and IRL
I personally don't advocate telling wives to leave their husbands unless there is abuse or chronic disrespect....but the single women who do shouldn't be seen as jealous because of that. It is very easy to get a man. Any one of us could do that in a heartbeat....I think there is this misconception that if you are a single woman it's because you can't get a man which is straight BS
Didn't get married until I was 42 so I would never view single women as envious of marriage or that they were single because they couldn't get a man. It is easy to get "a man" but sometimes hard to find "the right man for me". I was not willing to settle for anything less and would be willing to wait until I was 80 for the "right man" if I had to.
My single perspective would have definitely been "leave that loser, you don't have to put up with that" because from the outside looking in single life was better to me any day than being married. It also took me a long time to develop my patience and would/have left relationships without blinking for the smallest infraction. I know marriage took work, patience, love and perserverence but you never have the whole picture until you are actually participating in the experience. There is a whole lot more at stake, mentally, physically, emotionally and legally that makes me think it is certainly better to do MY best to work things out than to just walk away.
