About This Quote

In the natural world, it is the woman that usually takes care of children and other tasks that are not physically demanding. It is usually the woman who chooses to stay in a bad marriage because she has no other choice. Men, on the other hand, can leave a bad marriage whenever they feel like it. They can probably win a better wife or a more enjoyable life in the process.
