I have, on numerous occasions, attempted conversation in this and
in the net.women group concerning the topic of divorce. Either it's
been talked about too much before, or people who read these groups
haven't ever been married--much less divorced.  Who knows. 

I do think, though, that one of the big reasons I got a divorce was
that my husband couldn't handle the fact that I had a better job than
he, and that fact was not about to change. (Crummy grammar; but I AM
trying to get a point across.) I also think that he and I were brought
up differently...his mom never worked, and always did whatever dear
Daddy said. My mother worked all through my youth, and I was always
encouraged to do the best I could in school. I played with Tonka Trucks
and GI Joes while other girls had their Barbies.....who knows. I DO make
a whole lot more money than most of those young ladies who liked to play
dress up....(Oh COME ON mom, I wanna go outside and play TRUCKS!!!)
