Parted


Apart but then again not quite. The latest parting arrangement here in singapore. Legally divorced couples are staying under the same roof.
The modern DINK financial savy couples, it's head over heart. To disposal of the matrimonial home when and only when the property fetches a substantial profit.
While in another case, he pays the mortgage of the property and the household expenses, while she still provides the household services.
The full time mum, with no personal income, no personal savings she can only untangle herself from the legal obligation of a marriage.
Are full time mums making the right choice in life?
To depend on the husband to provide for her every need while she, devote her time on the children.
When things of wrong, what has she to be once again independant?
Once again to be depended on the ex-husband for the maintenance ?

With a successful career and high expectation, most women have no qualms about parting when the marriage falls apart.

It's an arrangement unique only in Singapore. When love is gone, there's no meaning to live together anymore. Money is no incentive.

One needs to be in the shoes to see the reality of the situation. Circumstances dictate for some, unfortunately.
