I completely agree with you, and maybe that's because I've also experienced a toxic relationship. But you're right. It's scary to be fully dependent on another person. In addition to what you wrote about the relationship potentially becoming toxic or abusive, a man could lose his job, get sick and not be able to work, or even pass away in very dire circumstances. What then? Also, I do think it's important that women be more aware and educated about the full physical and mental tolls that pregnancy and motherhood can take. It's something that is very romanticized and the negative parts are often glossed over.
There are many unpredictable things that can happen in a relationship 🙈 We have to be prepared in advance. It's important to not fall for the "fairy tale" narrative. Real life is very different unfortunately...
