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 think she was lashing out, but yes, it was most certainly insensitive. I have 3 girlfriends I can go to for empathy now, and that's it.
Single women without kids are the happiest, I think is the statistic.
