[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if I "had" to work or "chose" to work. We could have made it on DH's income but he does not want me to stay home because he wants an UMC lifestyle instead of a MC one, which I would have been fine with.[/quote]

It doesn’t sound like you had a choice.  I would have told him to make more money if he wanted a certain lifestyle.  If a mother really feels it’s important to be at home for her children then a middle class lifestyle would be fine.  Probably better than fine because there would be more like minded mothers to meet and less materialistic people around you. [/quote]

Yes, a woman’s place is in the home. If he wants more money it’s his job as a leader of the home and provider to go get it. I don’t understand why you stood for this and let him bully you into a job. [/quote]

I get you’re being sarcastic but the reality is more women than men would prefer to stay home and women have babies. You can claim that it shouldn’t be this way, but the vast majority of women are uninterested in a man who can’t provide for them. It’s biology.

Guarantee you that the PP had a terrible sex life and is or was unhappy. There’s nothing that kills a sex life for a woman like a man who can’t provide and allow a woman to stay home to watch her own kids. [/quote]
