    Or, and just hear me out, they could live in a country that doesn’t exploit its citizens like that and affords every working family childcare, school tuition, and many of your costs of living are subsidized, paid for in taxes that do not favor the wealthy.

      We got all that but we still had to go where my wife was sent, as a doc.
      Still gotta work as a team toward a common goal and take one for said team when required.

      I don’t think you’re proposing government reforms as a replacement for a supportive relationship, so what exactly is the point of this comment?

      Further, there are definitely places where it’s vastly easier for two adults to attend higher education while raising multiple children and not be employed, but that doesn’t mean that the most preferred or easiest path is to do so.
      There’s a world of difference between “possible”, “humane and kind” and “preferable to having an independent source of income in conjunction with the benefits for 2-4 years and then switching”.

        Everyone’s just trying to sound the most correct while pushing the hottest political buttons. It’s hard to thread that oil tanker through the eye of a camel, so to speak.
