Us men who want a traditional wife to stay home while we work and support the family actually couldn't do that in this economy/ inflation. Which sucks.

Women have always worked.

Young, able bodied men make up maybe 33% of the economy. It's not realistic to expect them to support the entire country.

Women make up the majority of Healthcare workers, medical researchers, food safety inspectors, housekeepers, hospitality workers, childcare workers, social workers and teachers. Women's labor is definitely necessary

KrazyJazz · 2023-07-22T14:41:31+00:00

Suuuuuure. It's solely because of the current economy. It has nothing to do with modern women's state of mind and attitudes.

The only man I know like that (not US though) is my manager at work. He and his wife were high school sweethearts, got married around age 20 in the 1990s, and he worked in offshore drilling a lot in Venezuela, Qatar, Angola, and Nigeria before moving back to Canada around 2005. So he has a lot of money. Their three kids are in their 20s now. His wife is still a homemaker.

I will never understand people like you that want traditionalist life styles they just seem depressing and especcialy terrible as a man. Like oh boy I can’t wait to go to work to pay for all the shit my woman child wife wants to spam buy on a credit card.

This "tradition" you speak of, isn't; It is but a small slice of history.

plumberack · 2023-07-22T15:07:00+00:00

Even if you do, the divorce will be very very costly. Marriage is a losing business contract.

JayMeadows · 2023-07-22T16:19:57+00:00

Why in the ever loving funk, would I want someone capable, to stay at home while I work?

No. Me and you, lady; put your work shoes on, grab a sandwich and let's go to work--

That Mortgage ain't paying itself.

And I'll be damned if I have to bust my ass while you play Real Housewives on my Dime.

ElisaSKy · 2023-07-22T15:02:47+00:00

You know, back in the day, there was a word for people whom worked not so they could get paid themselves, but so that their pay would go to someone else. There also was a word for the person getting that pay. And people usually didn't want to live that lifestyle.

If that's the lifestyle you want for yourself though, I won't judge. I'm just going to inform you that Dubai and the Qatar are hiring, so you can go there and live your dream life.

Ronniebbb · 2023-07-22T15:48:40+00:00

I feel that. I'm a woman, I don't work because it fulfills me and I want to, I work outside the home because it's a need.

I'd vastly prefer to cook, clean, garden, do the household stuff and care for the living beings in the house than go to the office and deal with morons. But cannot afford the do that, vancouver is insanely expensive

Tiberium_infantry · 2023-07-22T17:32:32+00:00

I'm able to do it with three kids in a 2600 sqft 5 bedroom home making just under six figures a year. With 2 car payments.

Professional-Lab-157 · 2023-07-22T19:07:49+00:00

I live in California, and I'm able to do it. I'm just a street cop too. The only way we have been able to do it is by always buying used cars and living far away from the major cities.

TheBigRagu22 · 2023-07-22T19:25:26+00:00

My wife and I have this set up. I work, she stays home. Pacing at about 75K this year at a job that requires zero formal education in a Fortune 500 company. We're fine, it can be done comfortably.

disgracedfather · 2023-07-22T15:24:27+00:00

I mean it is not impossible in the military. It is pretty doable

jokerfriend6 · 2023-07-22T15:11:08+00:00

So I live in a traditional family, and I work and the wife stays home and take care of the kids. There are women who want this as well, but the issue is many of the women just want to stay home and just have the man take care of them.

I married a woman that works, networks, homeschools and does the work it takes.

So if you are able to afford the traditional lifestyle, make sure you marry someone with ambition and a work ethic.

LaserNebula986 · 2023-07-22T14:40:54+00:00

If you want a trad wife be prepared to be a trad man. And also go overseas where you won’t get divorce raped. Female nature is universal but u got better odds if u don’t marry in the west

Asatmaya · 2023-07-22T15:29:43+00:00

Lol, why do you think the Establishment/Deep State pushes Radfem? It's just more people to exploit, and they can pay each of us less.

ElectronicBoss2845 · 2023-07-22T18:38:09+00:00

I’m a traditional man and I’m doing well in the economy. But I do understand what other men with similar values go through.

Minute_Ad_1494 · 2023-07-22T15:05:30+00:00

You also have to remember that western men generally don't work as hard as men from Asia or the middle east.

HamletsRazor · 2023-07-22T16:38:53+00:00

I could easily afford it.

Good luck finding one in the West.

Wadeem53 · 2023-07-22T21:19:31+00:00

Why is this upvoted lol, i just dont get why you want to work so much and you dont want your woman to work? I thought mra are for equality and against all that traditionalist 'women should stay at home' bs

BingSerious · 2023-07-22T22:56:02+00:00

Demonstrably not true. It is possible.
