[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH here.  You women are over thinking things.  The only thing men care about is getting laid.  Everything else is secondary.  [/quote]

Clearly not my DH who is very pleased he has a wife who pays the whole mortgage with 1/4 of my paycheck. [/quote]

I met my DW at her workplace.  She was successful.  When we found out she was pregnant it wasn’t even a question of her quitting, I asked why she waited so long to quit.  Because yeah I wanted a trophy wife, a sophisticated one.  My wife is total package, gorgeous, smart, sophisticated, domestic goddess.  And she doesn’t have to pay a mortgage with a quarter of her pay check.  We were smart and don’t have a mortgage. Getting laid was/is a priority.[/quote]

Yes.  This is what men want:  a woman who has a successful career, but will drop it in order to support him and his career.  Close second is the “stealth career” where she has a job, but still functions as a sahm.
I don’t know what to tell my little girls.  [/quote]

PP here she wanted to prioritize to being a mom.  I supported that decision.  Kid benefits,  she benefits from having less stress, no resentment from her toward me due to stress.  She proved to her self that she could be successful in a corporate environment at a young age, without sleeping her way to
the top.  She wanted to be a SAHM, I didn’t tell her she needed to be one.  If couple can make it work, I don’t understand what is wrong with being a SAHM that draws so much negativity here.

How is she a weaker woman because that is what she chose to do?[/quote]

No.  I don’t blame her at all or think she is weak.  I blame you.   Over and over again I see men not take any responsibility for their wives making the “choice” to SAH.   When she said that she wanted to quit, did you offer to cut back significantly at work or work part time, move near her parents so she would have help, look for an amazing housekeeper and nanny and help manage them, find a job where you would be home by 5pm every day, or did you just play lip service to this “choice” to SAH?[/quote]

You’re being disengenuous. It’s socially far less acceptable for a man to be a sahd or sacrifice his career. Men are expected to be breadwinners.[/quote]
