I lived with my future ex-fiance for a few years and it was never a situation like that. In the morning, she'd get up around 7 or 8 and go over to the library to study for her dissertation and it was kind of a known idea that, when I got up a few hours later, I'd go over and meet her and we'd sit together doing our own things: she'd put her feet on my lap and continue to read and I'd set up the laptop and continue compiling a list of records I started working on a few years before. After another hour or two, she'd suggest we go outside and sit under a tree. Or, she might be hungry so, we'd go get something to eat. Most of the time, after I showed up, she couldn't keep her mind on her reading so, we'd do other things for a while.
Basically, as it was her place, she kept the place up and paid the rent and bills but, it was never a case of she makes all the meals and does the housewifery. We, basically, just did our own things. About the only time she cooked for me is when I wanted some chipatis. She'd say, "You buy the flour and I'll make some for you." So, I bought the flour and, when I wanted some, maybe once every month or so, she'd make me a stack of at least a dozen. If I made hamburgers or something else she wanted to try, I'd make some for her.
She had her job and I had mine and it just never occurred to me, or possibly either of us, that housewifery SHOULD be part of the deal.

Within reason I'm okay with her doing whatever she needs to do to be happy

I am mostly stay at home wife, and I will certainly be a stay at home mother. That is how my husband and I prefer it. Most men want their wife to work though.

I've been a stay at home mom for almost 10 years. I love doing it but it's also not much of a choice either because of how expensive childcare is

RebelinSteel · Answer

Where I live the house prices in Cambridge are a bit on the expensive side.

For example £900,000 for a 2 bedroom ($1,138,814), yes you can get cheaper at £500,000.

This realistically means both working.

If only one partner working, then both must accept the financial impact and that they will likely be living in a higher crime area.

NathanDavis · Answer

I would prefer she has more in life than just a house to keep...

I would prefer if she had hobbies, a passion, a job or career or anything else other than just a house to keep take care of... now, about being a mother, I would prefer if she were able to take time out from her job and career... or do half of it, because I am able to do the same, and I would want the both of us to spend a whole lot more time with our kids and raising them together

now... this is only a preference that I would prefer, is not something like a "rule, that has to be no matter what" no...

I could still end up married to someone who wants to be a housewife/stay at home mum if... she really wanted to be that, and of course, other factors that are also important to be considered are met as well

Ideally, yes. That system worked for centuries.

And although the men had the headship in the family, the women definitely held more power. Women taught the children before the modern educational system - and kids could read younger than today. The average English Language graduate today has a smaller vocabulary than the average 12 year old in 1900.

Kids learn best from a stay at home mum with working alongside dad in the field as a vocation. But that system doesn't make Rockefeller and his cronies in the modern WEF richer. So now no child is left "behind", which means they all graduated dumber.

EmisElite · Answer

Personally, I think it's important for partners to have an open and honest conversation about whether a woman wants to focus on being a housewife or pursue a career. Each person should feel empowered to follow their own path based on what feels right to them. I will always stand by and honor whatever choice my partner feels is best for her.

HighValue · Answer

It depends. If she has student loans for a degree, she needs to use that degree because I won't pay for anyone's debt. Same goes for if she has credit card debt.

If I am the total support, she needs to do EVERYTHING at home, inside and out, because that would still take less time than a full time job.

Either way I insist on a prenuptial agreement or no legal marriage.

Unit1 · Answer

A housewife is something I *don't* want.

In this hypercommercialized society, where money talks and everything else gets rolled over by having money, someone, that doesn't generate money equates to being homeless, that needs others to feed them.

Just look at the food prices today, compare it to 20 years ago and you'll see what I mean. I remember a McMenu from McDonalds being 6 EUR in 2009. Today I see it for 12 EUR.

JTinSC1981 · Answer

I want my wife to do whatever she wants. If she wants to work, fine. If she doesn't, also fine. I make plenty of money so there is absolutely no need for her to put up with the bullshit of a job.

Jennz6 · Answer

No, I don’t want to be a stay at home housewife 💃, I want to party with my friends and go shopping with my girlfriends.

Brittanyroseee · Answer

No cuz i don’t want kids nor want the responsibility of one. I enjoy hustling and making money. I would probably slit my wrists if i had to stay home and care for babies.

Redstang88 · Answer

Nope, don’t want kids so not necessary. With cost of living it’s just not possible anyway, I certainly wouldn’t expect her to work as hard as me but need at least some 2nd income is needed to live comfortably

loveslongnails · Answer

We don't have and will not be having kids, so this doesn't really apply to us. My S. O. loves what she does for a profession and doesn't want to be raising children, which is one reason we're together.

BetaBucks · Answer

Up until the kids are in school, yes. Then, some kind of work is necessary. Boredom leads to every kind of bad for a marriage.

CrabCakes11 · Answer

I wouldn’t want to be a stay at home mom. If my husbands wanted to be a house husband, I’d let him

Avicenna · Answer

Only if we had kids together and could afford it all on my salary

Ms_Facesitter · Answer

I wouldn't mind :) but I do love my job. If he earns enough to sustain the both of us, okay.

SotiCoto · Answer

Hell no. I don't want to support a parasite.

Dargil · Answer

After she acquires a useful skill discipline as a backup, yes.

MysticDevice · Answer

Nope. I'm not looking for a housewife. I'm looking for a Shield Maiden

andy530 · Answer

I’d prefer her to be happy and fulfilled no matter if she finds that at home or if she finds that perusing a career

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Being rich I would let her choose what makes her happy.  If I can't afford a housewife then she'll gotta go to work to help out financially.

TallAnon · Answer

That depends what she does during that time and what she's planning to do once the children go to school etc.

mandyfire98 · Answer

I wouldn't. I enjoy my career.

Agape93 · Answer
