100% It just amazes me that men don't think their daughter should be completely able to take care of themselves financially if needed. It's not about being independent or dependent. Instead, it's all about being a partner and not a subordinate in your relationship. Also, you never know the hand you will be dealt. The husband could die or be disabled. Anything could happen. I am a widow. I have other friends who lost their husband in their 40s or 50s. Some of them are really struggling because they don't have much earnings potential.
I have a daughter and I would never want her to put herself in a situation where she had to stay with a man because it was the only financially viable option.
Also though, the widow/disabled thing, that's what life insurance and long term disability are for, my wife wouldn't have to work if I died

So after all of the divorce threads on the OT, does anyone think that if a high earning husband divorced his wife she’d be left high and dry? I have a feeling if I ever split with Ms Squatch her income would stay the same, she’d be in the house and I’d be living in a van down by the river working my arse off.
