Is a wife not supposed to be dependent on her husband?

[FictionalCharacter]

I just hung up with my mom that alll started about a mattress. A FUCKIN MATTRESS.

That my mom turned it around towards me and said “you need to become independent and stop relying on people to help you! How are you going to do it once you get married?”

Till I responded back with: “So you don’t want me to become dependent on my husband?”

And she said: “NOO! The man needs to work and the wife deals with business people!”

Till I hung up on her.

Is what she true about husband and wife?

For me you can depend on husband but it totally depend that what type of husband you will get. Otherwise you should do something like that or earn that much so you can bear you own expenditures so no one can buy your freedom. I'm not saying that you husband will do that thing but no one sees future so if you prepared your self then it would be good for yeah. I belive that much you will earn. I hope for you good.

Honestly both of you sounds off...
In modern families both the husband *and* wife contribute income towards the household.
And if things goes wrong they both have the option to get out.

He way it is supposed to work is that you depend on each other.

To be perfectly honest I think that a girl should be individually independent of her husband in case something happens

Yes, your mother is 100% correct.
