Why Black Women (Falsely) Believe Marriage Will Save Them From “Dusties!”
“What black women may never understand, because they are so knee-deep in the trenches of being addicted to the thought of being wives, is that many of these husbands are dusties too!”
While many black women have the best of intentions by demonizing “baby mama culture,” I will throw my unconventional opinions into the conversation by providing a different perspective based on my upbringing.
I have noticed that the majority of ladies who glorify marriage as the solution to “baby mama culture” have no idea what it’s like to be raised in a two-parent household with a father who is committed to his wife and actually enjoys being a parent. Because they do not have this experience, as they have only witnessed their mothers struggle to raise several kids by their lonesome, they are under the impression that the nuclear family is the answer to their prayers for love, companionship, and the family they’ve always hoped for since childhood.
If this is you, allow me to burst your bubble. Not because I want to be a bitch, but because I want you to make an informed decision for your life that isn’t based on the blind fantasies of women who have no clue what the realities of marriage are.
