Even as a teenager I disagreed so much with the idea that you need a man to have value. Statistically single women are happier. Marriage is no walk in the park - and many couples stay together for the wrong reasons. I've been in a bad relationship and I shudder to think if I didn't have the courage to leave. And my ex was not abusive, but it would still have been torment to stay with him (for one thing he did ZERO housework grrrrr).
I always like that statistic. The happiest men are the married ones and the happiest women are single ones. That’s something, isn’t it.
