If you were my husband, & I say I don't want to work. How do you respond?

Women can reply too. This is hypothetical anyway

My question would be why ? Just wanting to be lazy and wasting away your education is not a valid excuse.

That's pretty nice assumption you have there. I pray for your partner 🙏

If it is transactional for you, maybe you should reconsider marriage

@Jblio this feminazi post creator is asking you to reconsider marriage based on couple of lines in a comment. Then goes on to preach others to not assume anything. What an idiot @cuterusername is

Oh yaaaa. Finally a worthy question.

Firstly yr, I would hug you to bed ❤️ Gonna comfort you, make you forget it for a while. After cooking the best pasta/pizza/maggi for you. I will bring it with the best dressing and serve you. (and I am assuming you started this conversation late night because you no longer can keep it inside) Then while we are eating from the single plate, I tell you "you deserve everything you want.😊". Now tell me what do you really want. Now fully comforted you start pouring out your feelings and I am collecting all of them 🤍 After understanding you, I guide you and then we build a action plan together. Then you hug me backkkk for a long time and love me and start thinking how you became so lucky

And after this, as always I would end every topic with humour - asking you to refer me at Microsoft before you leave 😂

Leave? Where would your wife leave? Also, who is leaving such a caring husband 😂

P.S. I'm not in Microsoft, but an third vendor to them

My first statement would be acceptance. Accompanied by a what changed or why?

  1. Not enjoying work anymore? - If you say yes, find a new calling that excites you. (Regardless of pay scale)

The discussions will include changes in financial goals, lifestyle changes, travel plans, family plans.

Thank you for the comment! All previous comments 'assumed' the wife is lazy or doesn't want to contribute financially.
No one questioned Why until now

If you open your eyes and bother to read the reply the first line itself in my comment was "I would ask why"

Take my partner through the entire financial situation - income, expense, debt, investments now and simulate it for the next 2-3 years.

This is for expectation setting on what lifestyle level partner wants and how much we can spend towards it or not and in which categories. Example - want to travel abroad once a year, then we can do that but will save more/cut back on some other category of good to have spends. If there is allignment, then decision is fine.

This exercise is also useful in cases where one of the partner wants to take a break or startup and rely on other partners income for basic house running.

Is not wanting to work only a financial decision?

Hypothetically.. I would say..

Sure you can if you say you want to be house husband, you would know house is 24x7 job. I'm totally up for it!

9 to 9 is a hell hole, if someone takes up the 24x7 one, it is really a win!
