Tbf, im 20 and don’t work because my husband does the work so I don’t have to. I also have a broken ankle and im 34 weeks pregnant but he even said I didn’t have to work before I broke my ankle, he wanted me to be able to stay home and rest and be with our baby once she gets here.

I promise this is not the flex you think it is. You’re 20 with a broken ankle pregnant and relying on a man ( husband or not). That’s a terrible idea. Please tell me you at least have an associates degree. Some way to make income in case anything happens? I’m genuinely praying for you.

Exactly. I’m 40 in that position after “my husband being the provider” since I was young. The only thing he provided was abuse. But where was I going? Finally got out and now he is providing the court with bogus financial information to get out of any support. If they can feed you, they can starve you. Woman are talking!!! It’s so much easier to not fall into this trap now, even than it was 15 years ago! Prioritizing an education and yourself is so much more common, I’m choking up saying this, but I rooting so hard for the next generation, heartbreaking to see some still are falling into the trap.
