It can be if you're not careful. My mother is like a slave to my father and he treats her badly as well. I think he hates her although she does everything he tells her to do. My father is a brute at the best of times so maybe she has had the spirit squashed out of her
Yes. The family law courts are grossly unfair in this. If you spent too long tolerating a bad marriage, the courts will let your ex siphon off big chunks of your income for the rest of your life.
Yep and the cash and prizes can also include any future earnings, investments, securities, holdings, resources and real estate depending on which state you live in. With prenups being thrown out by judges of anti-male courts on a whim as well as the promise of never realistically seeing your children until they're grown up, where's the benefit? None.
And forget about co-habitating. In many states you're considered married after a short period of time so again, the cash and prizes option will kick in. If there are children from a previous marriage you can also be on the hook until they're eighteen. It may not even matter if you're married either, anti-male courts can rule that you were a role model/father figure and you have to pay up.
So why buy when you can rent or get for free anyway?
Well that was certainly the case in the past... Things have allegedly moved on but we still see women doing most of the housework and childcare even when they work the same or more hours.
It's a partnership. How the partners relate to one another is negotiated by them. Committing to slave status could be a matter of choice for some, or poor negotiating skills by others.
