Do you want a stay-at-home woman or a working woman?

Both have their upsides in their downsides and I like the upsides and downsides of both quite a bit

For the stay at home wife it would be fun because she could get a lot of the work done around the house and I can just focus on the cooking at least the cooking for dinner she she would still have to do lunch because you know I can't really cook lunch when I'm not at home can I

It would also mean she'd be able to take care of our children which would probably be great for the kids and that would give her plenty of free time too if we didn't have kids but it would also make her a little bit lonely wouldn't it and I don't like that idea very much I don't want to lonely wife

It also means she has time to think about fun things to do which could be nice or scary depending on who you marry

Now I'd like to go over the upsides of working wife

A working wife provides more income and most likely more stability financially speaking it also means that you might have less time to get bored of each other since both of you would be at work or actually could mean that you would spend a lot less time together and get bored of each other a lot faster because schedules might conflict

She would also have a lot more anecdotes to talk about which would be fun and she might even hear about something interesting to do

She might pick up a few skills along the way that we can use at home to make life a little bit easier

And lastly it could keep her entertained instead of being lonely at home

Overall both are great I'd take either I think I might prefer the stay at home wife at least if I had money you know like a decent amount of money but if I don't then probably the working wife would be better for more financial stability

All in all in a relationship the most important thing though is to make sure your lover is happy and that your family is happy and by your family I mean your children that is if you have any if you don't have children then the only thing that matters is the happiness of you and your significant other

I’d prefer stay at home, because that means the kids and I would be prioritized. I couldn’t be married to someone who’s too exhausted to make home feel like home. Too tired for sex, or dinner, or taking the kids to soccer practice. I’ll earn, take care of all her needs, and give her the opportunity to focus all her attention on the family. If you’re offended by that, just don’t date guys like me. Plenty of more progressive men out there.

Working.

I'm biased, though. My mother was stay at home long past when it was needed. She should've gone back to work, but instead rode the "chief bottle washer and diaper changer" title well into my junior high years - when I was basically independent and just rooming at home.

I feel it would've been better for me if she'd kept working. Our family would've been better off financially, she'd have probably avoided her mental health issues, and I would've had less abuse at her hands.

At my age, I'm not having children so I would prefer a woman who also has a career.

Stay at home. Working women are annoying. My girlfriend is stay at home and its awesome. I've seen this over and over. Women who work get stressed out and they handle stress by becoming an emotional mess and/or bitching. They get anxiety and depression issues. The stuff men hate. A woman with little or no responsibility generally is very pleasant and grateful for the situation and it makes things very smooth and easy.

Take some girl going to college and working who is on anxiety medication. Now make her stay at home and pretty quickly those pills are in the trash.

Oh easily a working woman. And preferably not a "I'm just here for the paycheck" but a "This is the shit I'm meant to do." I've dated a med student, a writer, and a microzoologist.

Avicenna · Answer

Stay at home only if we have only our own biological children with each other and they're too young to be taken care of after school by older siblings. If it's any other situation other than that, she needs to work (as do I).

DaveJord · Answer

Total working women with real life ambitions other than popping out babies and raising them full time.

Anno2 · Answer

Working. Stay at home women have basically made women the second gender.  Why would I want a woman that's dependent on me? It creates a situation that's exploitable.

Pyrofox · Answer

I'd be okay with stay at home working. I can give back and should massages on her breaks if she isn't already tackling me.

Lionman95 · Answer

I want to make her that choice in the long run. I can´t ask to stay at home especially if she´s patient about a field of study or something else.

Work at first, then stay home until the kids are school age, then work again. That would be ideal.

Working woman only. Everything these days costs money. 2 incomes means solid stability and more times of having romantic getaways and a happy life. Poverty sucks.
