The Complete Truth About Modern Marriage. I found it qute interesting but I also got angry at parts of it. Did anything ring true for anyone??

I know the author. Her marriage is not all it's cracked up to be. I have changed my name for this as she is scary.

Yes she did seem a bit scary. Some very provocative opinions.

I found this very poignant though. It seems to match with my mums generation "Women have historically been the caretakers of their marriages and husbands, running themselves ragged to appease the moods of a petulant spouse, looking out for his needs, squishing their own identities and putting on hold their own aspirations and dreams to allow their partners to pursue theirs. Our mothers were brought up to believe a "good wife" is an ATM of selfless deeds, no deposits required. As a result, when the marriage breaks down, it won't just be her financial well-being that's seriously depleted. What remains of her self-worth will likely be destroyed, too."

Not sure if Im allowed to put an excert in. but it seemed to hit home. As my mum seems quite unhappy about this part of her life.

Is it by Mandy Bloody Norwood?

Yes did she wind u up to!!

The bit that got me is that us modern women have done it all and had our ambtions met now a days , so we can then chose the right partner for us. I just got frustreated thinking so Im a failure then if I havent done it all, been it all already and made the right decsions now??

No, just saw her crapping on about it on that Mel n Sue thing and wasn't impressed with her. Wasn't when she edited Cosmo either. OK, will stop bitching, I don't know her and she's probably very nice
