AQAK it could actually just stop with for better for worse. That sums it all up. With the divorce rate being as high as it is, something is very wrong, and I think a lot of it is based on affairs and finances.

We are talking in the context of marriage. If one makes the vow for "richer or for poorer" and they leave because the man somehow loses in a business failure and tries to have subsistent level of income from a career, then I think the duty falls on the wife if she is not working and may need to make a contribution if the couple does not have children.

I know of a man that purchases cars, not flashy ones, but gottdayum dumbass stupid cars like a Blue Hawaiian Chevy Truck from 1977 with a lift gate. AND a 1980-something Fiero--El Fuego! AND a Pathfinder Truck, A 1970-something RV that looks like junk.
Let's just say the IRS has questions and is charging him more than what some people make per year.
It is enough to make his wife go insane...

If he loses his job and spends freely that dude sounds irresponsible too. Who would stay with a man like that?

For the first case, most women will take off if the man has no job in sight. I think it would be wrong if say, I were to leave, if my husband was unable to find a job in 6 months to 1 year. But, my husband is unique and has placed himself in a position that if the folks laid him off, there would be TONS of companies begging for his expertise.
There is nothing wrong with women achieving similar circumstances. Sometimes it is not like that especially when someone has children. But there are SEVERAL women here who are doing that right now.
For the second case, the spendthrift, lazy dude or dudette, who would want to stay with someone like that... Well, you'd be amazed who folks stay with...
