I was the last housewife in America.
Yes, I married a man who would support me, and was a stay at home mom of three. I LOVED that situation. I LOVED every minute of being with my kids and raising them. They are good young men, so I think we did a good job.
However, my marriage emotionally destroyed me, but that was because of both of our personalities. The structure of the traditional role we lived was not the problem in itself.
