Wednesday Spotlight: Kelly Jamieson

Some of the advice in Why Men Love Bitches I already knew. Some of it I learned from my own mother, but perhaps I just grew up in the many years I’ve been married.

I love the advice about maintaining financial independence, something I have always been adamant about for myself. Ms Argov’s premise is that if a man has to carry a woman financially, he’ll feel as though she’s an added responsibility instead of an asset (note that she’s clear that if a woman is staying home to raise children, this is very different and she is doing the hardest work in the world).

When he starts taking you for granted, he’s lost that feeling of wanting more, and instead he starts feeling like you’re his mother. You don’t want him to think of you as his mother. Trust me.

  2. Marriage is like any other partnership, there has to be some give and take. Though I enjoyed the full time Mom role, I loved the financial independence that my working years gave me as well.

  3. So many female mentors have told me the same thing…make and save your own money!!
