[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not something we say in polite conversation, but my DH is 100% NOT okay with women not working. He doesn't respect them. He has said numerous times that he wouldn't have married someone who didn't want to work.

Which is all well and fine because we both work and contribute and feel equal in our relationship, but this is why we don't have kids yet. I don't want to feel lesser because I'd have to take 12 weeks unpaid leave for a baby and he doesn't have to. It seems unfair, like I'm valued less[/quote]

Please think long and hard about having children with this man. Not because anyone should or shouldn't work, but because reality of life is that it throws you curve balls, and the reality of married life is that you have be able to adapt to those curve balls. It's great to say in theory that you're 100% no okay with women not working, but then what happens if you end up with a child with significant special needs, who is in therapies every day, would need a specialized (e.g. expensive) caregiver if you worked, and generally would benefit substantially from having a parent home? Is he going to tell your kid, "Sucks to be you, mama better get to work or I'm dumping her ass?" Granted, this is not a particularly common scenario, but if you're with someone so rigid that he can't see any scenario where having a parent at home would be beneficial, he's not cut out to be a parent.[/quote]
