- Allow me to propose a hypothetical scenario, one that is not to
- implausible, that might illustrate one of the problems with your
- opinion.
-
- 15 years have passed. You've been married 10 years and have had four
- children. Your choices are ...
- 1) Abstinence
- Problematic, as your husband isn't likely to be thrilled about
- giving up sex for the next decade. Choice now are ...
- 1a) Be divorced
- 1b) Put up with your husband's affair
- 1c) Run the risk of getting pregnant again. Hopefully it won't
- kill you or bankrupt you.
- 1d) Put up with an unhappy marriage
- 2) Never get married (probably the most honest thing to do, IMHO).
