[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a husband, my wife stays at home.  Kids are 3 and 6.  I have utmost respect for what she does.  Raising our kids properly is just as if not more important than what I do to make money.   Her job on some days is just as hard as mine.  I have total respect for her.  I still have a desire to have sex with her.

I should add that most of my co-workers have SAHM spouses and feel grateful we can concentrate on work due to the sacrafices of SAHM wives.[/quote]

Do you respect her need for personal time and personal money to spend?[/quote]

I mean this with as little snark as possible - how do you reconcile having to 'ask' your husband for money that he earned to spend on things for yourself?  Do you feel like you have to watch your spending more closely than you might if you'd earned the money?[/quote]

Who asks their dh for money?  The ATM at the bank just needs your pass code.[/quote]

So you just freely spend money you didn't earn?[/quote]

NP here. Yes, I freely spend. My husband is more likely to ask for "permission" for big purchases than I am. Neither of us are big spenders, though.

Like most things, there's no reason to debate this on a message board. It's between you and your husband. My husband and I are on the same page. My husband and I both like that I'm at home. Yes, it will be terrible if we divorce, but having to get a job will be the least of my worries. I'd be sad about losing my husband and sad and worried for my children, not mad that I have to go back to work, even though I know I would have to take a pretty low-paying job at first.
