Does your wife earn more than you? Do you feel like you need to get
another job? Does she get home later than you do? Did she buy the cars
at home and pay for the children’s school fees? Do you sometimes wish
you could just have her resign her work and just stay at home taking
care of the kids? A lot of men find themselves in your shoes and share similar reservations. While it’s typical to
think this way, how should you then deal with it?
Or do you think you should make up for it by being at home on time, going through home
work with his kids, making sure dinner is ready for your wife and
patiently waiting for her every night till she is back, believing that if you can’t meet with the financial needs, then you should compensate in
other areas of family life?
Someone once told me of a female friend who is richer than her husband. When her husband travels, she buys expensive gifts for the kids and around the house, and hides them when he gets back because he forbids her from buying what he can't afford to buy. She is of the opinion that she can't live like a poor woman when she can afford the finer things in life. It is like a secret between her and the kids.
This should be interesting. Over to the guys.
i don't mind my wife earning more than me as long as I'm able to provide the basic things in the family. She can take care of the excesses. I also expect her to assist when I'm financially down till I pick myself up again. That's what marriage is all about, supporting each other.
ReplyDeleteI can't take it meeen. She has to resign and allow me take care of her however I can.
ReplyDeleteA lot of men have insecurity issues. I earn more than my husband, for most part he performs his duties as the head of the house and doesn't mind me assisting, while sometimes it gets to him. I respect a man who doesn't mind assistance from time to time.
