How many women are really happy?

How many women do you think are really happy with their life? I'm asking this question because I see and hear some cases. The stories below are real, but I will not mention any names.

Case 1

A woman finally fell in love with the man she was married to. One day the husband went away for work and never came back for a long time. The country was under imperialism, and one of the imperialists wanted to marry her, although it is still a question if he only wanted to make her his mistress in the colonized country. (Everybody knows most men do that.) Meanwhile, she was sure that her husband was still alive and she was willing to wait for him. At the same time came another proposal from a native widower who was seeking to make a family with her. "Trapped" between the 3 interests, the woman ended up marrying the second man. I was told that it was her mother's choice. I don't know if the woman was ever asked or said what she wanted. But at that time of colonialism, the first marriage proposal was kind of scary, and I guess she had to choose the 2nd one to avoid being 'taken' by the colonialist.

She had a child and was expecting her 2nd child when "suddenly" her former husband came home! I could not imagine how she felt then. She must've wished that she could turn back the time. She decided to keep her new family and perhaps try to forget the man she loved.

Case 2

A woman and man, seem to love each other, she loves her children, they seem to be a happy family, but the man is stuck on his own ways, and the woman never expressed her opinion especially if it's against her husband's. Even when her husband told her about his plan that involved a big decision that affected the family, she just listened and did not argue at all. The children only heard about it from her. When it turned out to be a major mistake that affected the whole family, all she could do was accepted it. It was so hard that she became ill once without any medical reasons - it was psychosomatic.

Case 3

A woman seems to be happy and really become herself after her husband passed away. It is kind of interesting because they were married for many years! (Their children are adults now.)

And other cases I heard and see...
