Having chosen that route myself, I can tell you that there are a lot more positives than the other way.

Biggest problem with most single moms is that they find themselves single unexpectedly usually and without being prepared for it or having to dissolve a marriage at the same time, they believe (falsely due to societal narrative) that it’s the end of the world and they can’t do it on their own, or they’ve catered to that husband (like working to put him through school expecting a payback after he starts making money) and have been left behind financially and educationally as a result, meaning they have to catch up to their peers while raising children.

When you plan to be a single parent, you get all the positives of single parenting and none or much less of the negatives because you’ve eliminated a lot of chance involved in trusting someone to keep up their end of a partnership.

I hope to see more of this too. It would be great to see moms partnering with each other to share living expenses like older women are now. It would be really great if there were housing available that had separate wings and a shared common area, multiple master bedrooms with kids bedroom attached, etc. I think a decent living space that will accommodate partnered up single moms but still provide a measure of privacy is one of if not the major obstacle to more women forming orca-like pods to raise their children.
