Four out of five “regular” marriages end in divorce. There is no reason to think a relationship with a provider will end any differently. If you are willing to go through an end of a relationship, you can have a really great time playing house for a few years. But it will end. The trick is to never pledge to be faithful. They may pledge, but the chances of that actually happening are near zero.
A “provider” is nothing more than a partner for a “customer “, which we all are. So I generally don’t cast aspersions on the other half of my own equation. They provide for many, we consume with many.
