[quote=Anonymous]You’re not compatible. My brother was (is? kids are in high school and his wife went back to work) like your boyfriend. He was adamant about wanting a wife who stayed home with the kids. He dated a few women who adamantly didn’t want that. He asked me and our parents what he could say to convince them otherwise (I was leaning childfree and if a kid, only one and not staying home, my mom stayed at home when we were young and couldn’t wait to get back to work, and my father was like my brother -didn’t want to have to do any childcare) We all told him these women were great - but fundamentally incompatible and they needed to break up, rather than expect it to work out. So he did, and while it’s a marriage I wouldn’t want, he and his wife are super compatible. This was all in the context of a south Asian semi-arranged marriage - dating was done with this clear expectation so everyone was more openly practical than dating is typically done now. [/quote]
