[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depending on the country, the man is expected to provide for the family. I was watching a documentary about men’s perspective and the US stood out with men not wanting to support their wives financially. Americans also don’t take care of their parents.[/quote]o

This rings true for me. My husband is originally from Bangladesh and we met when I was finishing undergrad. I remember he asked me what career I was interested in and I said I didn’t know. He said m, “no worries love you can be a really good stay at home mom.” I laughed at the time, but I have been a SAHM for several years. I don’t think I felt compelled saying that to my boyfriend until I met my now husband. My husband was finishing his masters when we got married. He’s 5 years older. I think this obsession with career vs SAHM is an American thing. I have worked PT on and off and would love to continue doing that but childcare is so tricky.

I often hear that a man is not the plan in America. In America, people seem to treat a marriage as not as forever. Divorce is normal. In my culture, a divorce is very shameful. The person you marry can very well be the most important decision.[/quote]

I think in America we’re all raised to drink the capitalist, individualistic kool-aid and not question it.[/quote]
