[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We all want different things in life. describe your spouse. Comment if you’d be “in” or “out” for the other spouses described here.

Mine:
Works hard, but can’t delegate, isn’t a high earner (&lt;100k at 50)
Poor boundaries 
Enjoys the good things in life (music, art, culture) - good taste
Great sense of humor, dedicated friend - is there when it counts. Makes time for those who count. 
Affectionate, loves to give and receive attention 
(High sex drive. great at oral sex)
But needs a lot of attention 
Moody and erratic
Pedantic, micromanaging, anxious about household cleaning - gets angry if you don’t do things the “right way”
Time blindness - always late, no ability to long term plan
Mean when angry - speaks in cutting tone, will insult you personally 
Can’t save money. Living paycheck to paycheck. Finances all on you.[/quote]

Is this a trick question? Describes more than 50% of wives. Would not be acceptable in a man but as a woman this is fine bc men and women seek different things (note sex & oral is mentioned much higher than finances). So, in as a wife, out as a husband.[/quote]

Most wives will also have a line item or two (or three) on what kind of mom they are, and how they keep the house. Also on planning (vacations, family activities, major purchases). If good in these areas, significantly balances out low earning and poor financial sense.

It’s much less understandable/forgivable for a husband to be low earning AND bad with money AND a pedantic jerk about the house, unless he’s the primary parent and household manager as well, which is very rare.[/quote]
