Marry male lawyers means got risk of philandering, going after syt associates or affair with secretary. Or he may keep a side squeeze. Ego + culture of dominance in law firms is a recipe for temptation.
So many anecdotes in law firms including some high profile ones in and out of the fraternity too. Iykyk

You may need to share a proportionally higher responsibility to support Ur family.
Yes it may look good on the outside, u can flaunt around n show off that Ur spouse is a lawyer. But what's the point? Unless u damn narcissistic n need to feed off people's awe and admiration to survive
