What Makes a Husband Leave His Wife

Again, I did not mean this to be a hub.  I was just answering a question; however, I got little bit too wordy in my answer. So here it goes! It all depends upon the circumstances. Marriage is not always until death do us part. Many times during a marriage, couples grow into different directions. The husband grows in his career and interests while the wife, especially if she is a housewife with children, prefers to stay the same. Many women, once they become wives, believe in sublimating their identities, hopes, and dreams on their husbands.

Many wives assert that their main duty is to stay home and have the husband be the sole support. They strong contend that they should not go in the jungle to work but have an easy life staying at home, doing what they want when they want.  I believe strongly, almost religiously, that marriage is a 50/50 affair between a husband and a wife.  I strongly contend that wives should continue working after marriage, remain independent, and have their own interests. I maintain  that husbands respect wives who have independent careers and viable jobs because there is more equality in a marriage when a wife works outside the home than if she elects to remain home. Men wants partners in a marriage. When a wife works outside the home and have an independent and viable career, this prooves to her husband that she is an adult and equal partner, not a little girl who should be supported.

The only people I believe who should be financially supported in a marriage are the children from that marriage. A grown woman should not expect to be supported by anyone. She should also contribute monetarily and financially to the household. Furthermore, husbands find independent, self-supporting wives to be sexy because they are their own persons who can demand sparring rights and equal time.  Husbands appreciate their wives having outside interests. Many husbands cheat on and leave their wives because those wives do not have any interests outside of their husbands, homes, and children. Many husbands return home from work exhausted and wish to have an adult conversation with their wives. However, the wives insisted on only talking about their children, what their children did, and their own narrow interests. Many wives forget that they are also  sexual, viable women.

 Don't let a woman become a mother. That adds another variable to the equation.  When many wives become mothers, sex flies outside the window. They put their children first, often neglecting their husbands. Once they become mothers, these wives lose all interest in sex. They stop being sexual beings and become mothers to the exclusion of everything else. These women often let their appearance go, becoming matronly. When men do not have sex at home,they usually seek it somewhere else and go to greener pastures.

Many times, through no fault of the wife,  many older men leave their wives for younger pasture. Many successful men tire of the wife they have been married to for many years. They want someone young and fresher.because they want to present a newer, sleeker image to world.
