It's a very old mindset that she has, in post-Recession salaries and careers for American Black Men aren't hitting 6 figures or close to it (which is what you need to live middle class with kids and a mortgage).
Being a stay-at-home spouse is lazy and actually embarrassing for anyone that is an adult.
And since we are keeping it real, the kind of man who could pull that kind of scratch and allow his woman to chill at home and do nothing isn't going to be checking for a 40-year old woman.
He is going to get a 22-year old foreign joint to build a family/legacy with. The OP needs to change her ways, otherwise she is gonna be cat lady.
This post right here is the impotant 1...
because this is very clear and straight forward about why most men in this society disagree with a woman not working, paying half, yada yada..
But if u read it carefully, the type of woman described, "sit at home, lazy, doing nothing".... isnt an indictment on that woman... its an indictment on a man who would choose a woman with that mindset, if she was given an opportunity to not have to work.
There is so many things that a REAL WOMAN will occupy herself with, to support u and ur household, if given a chance to stay home. Things that u as a single man would value, now that u dont have to do them for urself. She could also be bettering herself in education, so that she can teach ur future children. This is very important because i feel like our children are better off homeschooled. The educational benefits to teaching our own children, what we need and want them to know, at the rate we want them to know it, is super important. I can go on and on about the benefits of having a woman mainly staying in the household.
But let me get to the 2cd counter argument that i keep reading... The arguement that in today's society we need both individuals in a household to work.
Somebody on here said that theres a person making 100k and still needs 4 room mates. smh
We have a problem in this country of not living at our means. You wont make it with 500k a year if u don't live at ur means.
If Ur having big willy dreams or especially if ur lady wants the bmw's and trucks, and wants to take all kinds of trips, to diff islands every year. Youre going to need her ass to work, and trust me this is the reason why the divorce rate is so high, because ppl like that are never SATISFIED.
Be humble, get ur mind and finaces right b4 u get a woman
...get a humble WOMAN, who was raised with all the tools and knowledge to support a Real Man.
...Live at ur means. If she clips coupons, shes probly a keeper... if she sows, shes probly a keeper. Support her going to school. she'll have time for her studies and make sure ur dinner is ready and house is clean when u get home from a hard day.
when she graduates...her potential now, along with the work ur already, doing makes yarl UNIT 10x stronger, and capable of doing great things.
SORRY THIS IS SO LONG. it is important that our ppl get back to this
