I’m genuinely curious how men think about this long term. If you were earning a 7 figure income, saving and investing consistently, and your household was financially secure would you ever start to lose respect for your wife if she didn’t actively earn money and spent fairly freely within reason? By “within reason” I mean not reckless or putting the family at risk, but someone who enjoys shopping, spending on the kids, the home, and overall lifestyle. For context, I’m a sahw, we have two kids and I handle the home side cleaning, cooking, managing the kids, and making sure everything runs smoothly and feels calm at home. We outsource a little as well. My husband earns a high income (in the medical field) and says he’s completely fine with how we handle our money as long as we’re still saving and investing, and we don’t have conflict about it. But I still sometimes wonder if this is one of those things that sound’s fine in theory, but could turn into resentment or a loss of respect over time. Be honest would this bother you eventually, even if you said it wouldn’t at first? submitted by /u/LinkCommercial9508
