I'm going to comment on just one sentence from your post above, Lefty and leave it at that cause i know you guys are just here venting and CAS will say, "It was just a joke!"

but it seems like as long as they were good providers,

Women in the past stayed in some very, bad, dangerous marriages because they had no choice. They were tied to men who were "good providers" because they couldn't get jobs that would support their families. In 1966 women made .60 for every dollar that a man earned. (Today we're up to .77) They usually had large families because until the 1960's birth control wasn't widely available. When I started working in 1978, women still had to have their husband's permission to get a tubal ligation.

I know this probably isn't where you intended this to go, but I just had to say I don't miss those good ole days.

Now I'll get out of the locker room.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
