This may upset some of you and for that I am sorry. I have a theory. I think that women, who become stay at home moms, share certain personality traits. As I see it, for the most part, these women are optimistic, naive, giving, unselfish, romantic, trusting, nurturing and extremely family oriented.
Because they possess these characteristics, they may well find themselves in extremely vulnerable positions, in the case of divorce. Because they are optimistic, they live their lives, believing that their marital problems can and will be, worked out. Any woman, who is willing and able, to ignore the fact that she might find herself in the middle of a divorce, is a woman who gives new meaning to the words optimistic and naive.
Knowing what we know now, we need to realize that, these women may be compared to people who would be foolish enough, to jump out of a plane, hoping to survive, without a parachute.
