Amazingly, this study shows that women who are not dependent on their pot-bellied, abusive, drunken husbands tend to leave more than ones who are dependent on them. Mind-blowing.

Not to editorialize (who am I kidding?), but that article is awful, and they do a great job of ignoring the obvious: 1) ANYONE is happier if they don’t have to work; 2) the main reason a woman who works is more likely to leave/cheat is that she will actually see some of what life has to offer other than her time at home with the laundry and the kids. Plus she’s not subservient. So there’s that.

I’d rewrite that article to be saying “women with careers more likely to leave abusive spouses than non-career women”, because that’s probably a more honest result of the statistics. Though I doubt the misogynists at Forbes would run that piece…
