I have to be honest here as soon as what a woman or man earns usually my brain switches off. Over the last nearly 18 years the primary earner in our household has bounced between me and my wife. We both have strengths and weaknesses but together we do fine.
We have had this conversation as bluntly and clearly as possible, right down to the brass tacks.
I believe personally we have all focused so much on equality that we forget the basic questions of happiness. Wanna be a house husband or house wife? Good for you it's a full time job. Same respect as anyone working a 9-5.
We should all accept that money is the last reason to decide on a long term partner. Respect, Love,appreciation in that order for me. Your partner should always lift you up. That's my take anyway.
But then again... Who the hell am I ?
Great post, look forward to seeing more
This is me talking about something unrelated... 18 years is a long time, just how, how were you able to pull it off? With so many bad marriage stories out there today, every time I hear about one that has lasted for quite a while, it intrigues me, I do hope you understand.
"But then again... Who the hell am I?"Well, I daresay you're the man who just left a really dope comment on my article, so thank you!🙂@rubido
Hahaha the years don't count, it's freedom in arguing and freedom in love. A failed marriage is a mistake, a successful marriage is being aware that it's a full time job on top of any other commitments.
Not to mention It's easy to love someone forever if they're awesome
Wow. Thank you for this.
