If money is not the problem; why not pay more of the bills? It seems like the only issue.To Post 1 - I didn't read every thread in here, how about the opposite side of the coin?
So I'm a 43 year old woman, big on mom duty, can't cook admittedly, but I love sex. I'd say I'm mostly traditional in the whole husband "role" vs wife "role"
I believed strongly in raising my kids myself even though I did want to have a career and originally planned to until my first baby boy looked up at me and I said hmm... So I stayed home with them and handled /everything/ to do with them. Ended up divorced - first husband fell in love with someone else, not too big a deal cause our marriage was idk too fast and we'd only stuck together for the kids. But ya know, I find another guy and he's West Point seems stand up with lots of ex girlfriend trouble. For 17 fucking years I do everything I can to help him, I spend as much time as I can with him, and I've only bitched about the fact that /he/ was too tired to have sex with me. I took care of his kid from another mother for 12 years, and my boys too; getting them to school and doctors appointments, all the cub/boy scouts, all the football, baseball, soccer, band, ice skating, swimming, you name it, it was /always/ me taking them.
He decides to go find someone else because I can't cook, can't fix cars, not a carpenter, not a plumber... It's not money, I have it all, but he still wants me to have a job so I'm being "productive" - I just left my last job 4 years ago and decided to work on a publishing another novel series and produce an anime. He bitches that I never do anything cause I'm on the computer all day... I'm like no shit Sherlock that's usually where fucking writers do their work... He says I haven't contributed anything to the household - the fuck... And as for "taking care of me" or "giving me his money" FUUUCK NO, in fact hes so greedy about /his/ money that he wouldn't give me a dime if it might save my life lol Not that I need it, I've got like a mil five in the market. Which is why him being pissed that I retired is so utterly stupid. I mean he pays bills, which I guess is the only really "traditional" thing about him, but he's fucking resentful about it, always bitching about he's working his ass off to pay them - and I'm like well fucking stop it and I'll pay for them then and he says basically "I'm not your bitch!" But he's like jealous as fuck or something that I could just not work anymore, hell he could not work anymore too and I'd pay for it but he doesn't want to be reliant on me or some shit. I don't get it at all.
So yea, other than the cooking thing I'm a pretty good wife and I got shit on for being a traditional wife instead of one who has a career.
You can always practice investing more, and promise to "buy him toys" if you have a decent, "run in the market".
