There was recently a study done in which they concluded that it takes on average 10 years for a woman to leave a bad marriage.
She could have left by year 3 or 5 but us women keep on trying to hold down the fort and “make things work”. That is sometimes a fault of ours. We have much to gain by keeping it going if we can “get that dream off the ground”, for the kids’ sake, for the financial sake, and for the sake of the dream of a loving and mutually satisfactory relationship.
Unfortunatley we women may exercise poor judgment sometimes.
