| It is all the rage. Anyone have a Stay at Home Girlfriend? |

| In my entire life I have only known one woman who quit her job to prepare for her wedding, and then never went back to work. |

| Saw that WSJ article, can't really relate to it. Don't see the value proposition there although I guess effectively being a sugar daddy maybe gets you someone more attractive than you otherwise might. |

Agree. So dicey to put in all that unpaid labor with no legal claim on assets, not to mention the resume gap . A lot of women have gotten so burned doing that. |

| My neighbor two doors down does. He moved in during his divorce about 18mos ago. New girlfriend was moved in within 6mos or so. She's like 20 years younger, and never leaves the house except occasionally with him. We are pretty sure she doesn't have a job (although I suppose a remote one is possible) and he seems to rely pretty heavily on her for child care. They fight a LOT, and the whole neighborhood talks about it (it's very loud). |

OP I can see it. When I was 29 I briefly dated a very pretty girl who had moved back home and was finishing up college. She had no job.
She stayed over quite a few times. She had no money but we had great fun in the bedroom and she cooked too. I did pay for everything. It was so stress free. I honestly could have seen her moving on full time for a year. |

| I have a friend from college who has a stay at home fiancé. She won’t marry him with a prenup and he won’t marry without one. So she stays home and he pays all the bills. I think she’s a moron because she’s going to leave the relationship with nothing when she could at least have positioned herself to leave with something. |

Most of these women don't have careers. They're not giving up much. |

| … he moved her in and she never got another job. They are still young so maybe they’ll get married soon. They’re definitely not engaged now though. |

| How embarrassing for them. |

| I have no respect for parasitic adults who live off of others. Women aren’t plants or pets or children and this 100% dependence on others is quite pathetic. I value independence, equality and responsibility so I really don’t respect women who have none of the above. Horrible example to act like women are incompetent and incapable of being adults. Same with men who look to find a woman they can live off of. No respect. |

| I was a stay at home wife. It works if you're moving to a new country. |

I’m with you here and I would never have been able to divorce and maintain my standard of living if I hadn’t kept my career. It’s freeing. I can’t imagine having to rely on another adult for my well-being. |
