I suppose I should have looked at the domain before following the link. This is very red pill. I like how the guy said his wife's job was to take care of the baby so he shouldn't ever have to wake up for night feedings. He sounds just like my ex-husband. I'm sure he would've loved a job where he needed to work all day and night and was on call permanently with a new call every 2-4 hours, including through the night, without ever being able to pass the responsibility on to a partner to finally catch a little rest during the weekend. I'm really surprised more women don't have postpartum depression with how many are expected to bear the full brunt of raising a child without support. Of course the problem here isn't lack of support, she was totally just gleefully robbing him of all his wealth while being selfish and uncaring. There's no way all of this behavior was a cry for help, just shove a new car in her face and everything will be fine. Oh, that didn't save the marriage? Well somehow it is still evidence that women have the maturity of a teenager and just want a provider to give them shiny things.
To be fair, if one person is going to be supplying all of the monetary gain and supporting the family in that regard, is it not only fair that the other support the family in the opposite regard? I'm not saying men and women can't both work and be homemakers at the same time and I don't claim to know his exact story aside from what was told. We don't really knew if she wanted to work a job and bring home some bacon or if she wanted to stay at home. If she doesn't want to work a job and wants to stay at home I believe that IS her job and at that point why should he get up and do it? At that point it is her job as he is providing everything else but the home making part of life. This would be the same if the man wanted to stay home and the woman was the primary provider as well. Again to reiterate; I do not believe this to be the only model for a household. Do not take it as bigotry as the same should be held true whether a man is the primary provider or the female. Edit: additional content Different people are looking for different things in their relationship. If you are looking to be the sole provider and want a stay at home spouse to raise the kids that is something that should be discussed between you before you have kids/getmarried or w/e you are into.
He was supporting her by working his ass off and allowing her to spend time with their child (and no, being a stay-at-home mom is not worse than having a real job). Her behaviour was selfish and exploitative, and the end of the story makes this clear: she showed zero appreciation for all he had done for her. I feel sorry for your ex-husband, having to deal with your ungrateful ass for who knows how many years. Hopefully he's in a better place now. Remember guys: never, ever, ever marry.
You clearly get it. Though I'm not sure I agree with never marrying period. Tough call there.
