I nearly got married 2 years ago. I was a Uni administrator working way below my potential and he was an academic. The plan was to start a family and guess who& #39;d be doing most of the care work while he& #39;s building his academic career.

I woke up from this madness just in time. 1/3 https://twitter.com/melibellerose/status/1264195157953581056">https://twitter.com/melibelle...

Cancelled the wedding and dumped him.

A year later, I became a software engineer! I& #39;m living my best life as a single child-free woman who can fullfil her true potential and decide her own future.

Of course there are women who are actually happy in heterosexual marriages... 2/3

but let& #39;s face it – these are the lucky ones! I think, in today& #39;s society, most women would be better off on their own...

Back to the article, very much relatable since my father was also utterly useless with everything, and my mum would& #39;ve been better off as a single parent 3/3
