How many of us realize that possibly our last free decision is when we say, "I do?"
After that, there is always the heavy and sometimes unpredictable hand of the state in our lives. Not just the usual criminal code and fraud statutes, but how large our exit fees may be, no matter for what reason we or our partner may want out.
I do think that once someone is in this position, one usually benefits by being very careful. I know more than one couple who manage to stay out of one another's way, let sleeping dogs lie, and do not interest themselves in possible extramarital excursions. Discretion can be greatly prized in these situations. Certainly not perfect, but neither is much of life.

If not wanting to have to get "permission" to leave a soul sucking job when you are well past being financially independent makes one a misogynist, I are one.

While I had a terrible 1st marriage/divorce, which as one commercial said is "often times a decision made by one person, and the other has no say". I wouldn't jump to the conclusion a lot of people have here. Although, I think a lot of people are just having fun with the thread, I won't show this one to my DW.

Communication with a spouse about shared goals is hardly asking for permission ....change can be difficult for both parties and we often bring money hangups from our childhood into our adult lives...one person's security could be another person's idea of uncertainty...that doesn't make her the monster you gentleman seem to imply she is.

I've read the OPs post. I don't see anywhere where he says divorce is an option

Here's another. 50% of marriages end in divorce, the other 50% end in death. Neither a good option.
