[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is happening.  Do you want all of us married to husbands who do not suck to post threads in order to even out the balance.

I'll start.  My husband does not suck.  He got up this morning and went to work after staying up all night to take care of our sick child.  [/quote]

Same. I LOVE my dh.

But you have to admit that good men like this are rare. I can't believe the shit my friend's dh's pull. It's like men haven't evolved. [/quote]

I also LOVE my DH, but it took over a decade to get to this point where we are both very happy in our relationship. We have decided - after trying many different arrangements over the years - that everyone in our family's life runs smoother if I am a SAHM and he is a workaholic. Thus, we have very clearly defined roles and no more resentment. As a woman who believes women can do most things better than men, this was a hard decision to come to. Giving up my very high status/paying career was very tough for me, but it was worth it in the end. No, we can't afford to live in a huge mansion and drive new BMWs, but we still have a very luxurious life, comparatively speaking, and do not have to make any sacrifices for lifestyle/retirement/college savings, primarily due to all of the years I put in before leaving the workforce. I think it's for the best. It is teaching our kids to learn to live within more normal means and not always think that money grows on trees. I have noticed that they are becoming much more aware of the value of money now that we are not blowing through it like we did when they were younger. [/quote]

Even though I'm still working, this is the conclusion I've come to also. Yes it's anecdotal, but for me the happiest couples I know are by and large the ones where the wife is a SAHM. Clearly defined roles and everyone is happier. I know I'd be a lot happier if I wasn't working outside the home on top of all the things that have wound up being my responsibility anyway. [/quote]

Happiest couples and families, maybe, but is the wife/mother truly fulfilled as an individual?[/quote]
