Quote From: xavierannI just thought I would add this in. Yes they DO have to pay ALL THE BILLS, it is their JOB AS A MAN. If they are not MANLY enough to do their job, they need to "git". YOu need to begin challenging their MANILINESS whenever they start to complain that they have to spend everything on you....that's right - I'M EXPENSIVE! AND I KNOW YOU CAN AFFORD ME, SO BE A MAN AND DO YOUR JOB!
Watch it! When you say "I'm expensive and I know you can afford me" you seriously should like a prostitute. That attitude is exactly why women are getting such a bad rap these days.
Men and women should be individuals who can support themselves. That's why kids should finish school and either go to trade school or some type of college. Once they are self-supportive, THAN they are able to make it in this world should they desire to stay single, should they marry and then divorce or should their spouses die.
I stay home while my husband works outside the home. We made a deal (a partnership) to do what's best for our children. I gladly left my profession to spend time w/ (and raise) OUR children. However, I don't feel it's my husand's job to support me nor is it my job to support him....it's BOTH our jobs to love and honor eachother and that means RESPECTING eachother. That word seemed to be left out of your post. My spouse respects me by earning a living so I can stay home with the children. I respect ALL that he does for me (and our family) and I make sure he hears it often (I also show him I respect what he does by my actions...taking care of the bills, running errands, being involved in our children's schooling, cooking a family meal, etc).
If you don't show respect, you're likely not to receive it either. I'd rethink your post. You should silly and cheap.
