Who would want to deal with that, drama? And it is so easy to arrest a brotha these days for just about anything, which is sad because it is crazy...
I agree, highly educated African American women don't want to deal with this. It's a lot of sacrifice and a lot to deal with, not only with the man, but with the man's family, who may be very different than what you're used to dealing with.

Some women do it though.
