What is the difference between what a women wants from a boyfriend and a husband?

Boyfriends are men you've recently met and have lot's of fun with. Husbands are men you've known long enough to want to spend the rest of your life with and maybe even have children together and buying a house. These are all responsibilities which cost a lot of money. Being a single parent in the West is too expensive for most people, unless they are earning over £40,000.

Men who end up married to women like this simply didn't do the necessary research and ask the right questions when they were dating. Any guy who marries a woman who earns more than he does doesn't have this problem (in most cases).

The idea is that husband and wife build equity together. Courts have tried to figure out for years how to divide an estate fairly.

A WOMAN not 'a women'....come on, it's not difficult!

It's because it used to be different and society hasn't really caught up. It used to be that married women weren't allowed to work and had to stay at home maintaining the house. Which back then took a lot more effort and would have been like a proper job. But now that they can work, we're in this weird situation where no one really knows the protocol. Tradition says that the man should be the breadwinner but as women have the same earning power, that no longer seems fair.

You're right. You just don't understand.

Women often want excitement from a boyfriend but seek a husband who will be a good provider.

Not all women are gold diggers, but like Bill Burr said, there's an epidemic of gold digging whores in this country. Men are now realizing that U.S. marriage laws are bad deals for us.

This is a sweeping generalization and indicates you are either very young or very inexperienced.

What you stated is simply false.

Marriage isn't for everybody.
