You're a daisy if you do!

If you don't work and become Mr. Mom, she will cheat on you with a coworker, if she makes serious bank. Not speaking from personal experience, but I've seen it quite often.

If work, but it would be something I love doing since the salary really didn't matter

This is your last chance, baby. I know I said the same thing last time, but I mean it this time.

I'd be a single digit handicap golfer ...,,
And probably an alcoholic.

Definitely need to know what some of y'alls definition of 'bank' is.
I'm glad you realize that everyone's different, but for me personally i think I'd find it difficult to be part of such a competitive marriage.. there's already enough competition in my job and other parts of my life, that i want my wife to be someone i take refuge with, not compete with.. but like you said, to each his/her own.

In my marriage (I married a competitive, success-oriented woman) when we met, I made bank and she had potential. My success drove her to try harder and she surpassed me. In turn, I couldn't let her outdo me, so I didn't get complacent and then I surpassed her. On and on, through having two kids and overcoming the 9/11 recession and the '08 near financial collapse, we both seem to grind and push each other because we have financial goals. She's got the upper hand now, but it won't last long before I'm back on top.

it should be in the fine print that if you're a SAHD- you'll end up watching lifetime and hallmark channels. plus, don't forget the daily 'stories.'

...would you work? would being a house dad be too embarrassing for you or not? would you get a job that maybe paid less but was more fulfilling?
I gave this one a lot of thought, even though my wife will never make more than me, though I wish she would.
On the one hand, I'm absolutely certain I can prioritize my work to have a shite ton of free time for 2-3 days per week while my boys are at school, and my wife is at work which would leave my down to do whatever I want.
On the other hand, I hate doing housework maybe enough to not even make the 2-3 days of leisure worth it.
It's a tough call. In the end, I'd probably just try to find a job doing something I really liked, but no clue what that would be off the top of my head.

If bank = $ 1,000,000; sure
Posted on 8/29/17 at 8:33 pm to Count Spatula
nah I wouldnt work
wouldnt have minded being a stay at home dad but i found a career that I will enjoy and will make a decent starting salary. I do have a fully paid off house that i rent out and can always move back into if need be.

I'll always work. Even if I didn't need the money. I love my job and I enjoy working.
yeah, this....
she makes a little less than me, but still... it's nice having the dual incomes, and yeah, i do love making a positive impact in people's lives....

I'm kind of against the whole idea of one person in a relationship being completely dependent on the other, for anything. I just don't think it's healthy.
Posted on 8/29/17 at 8:50 pm to Count Spatula
My wife does well... I stay home. We have a teen and preteenager. I gave up a pretty good career to become a stay at home dad, but I woulld do it again for sure. I used to think I'd go back to work when the kids got older, but I'm pretty sure I'm ruined ??

Make your own man, mad day will come. They'll eventually treat you like your're worth nothing, then run off with some money making dude and give you excuses why it happen. Money making men is sexy to most women even though the money is the true attraction.

Good God, no I wouldn't quit working. Youd give up control of your own finances? Calling the shots in your own life? I wouldn't care if she had Ivanka Trump money, I'd be working doing something to have my own means.
Conversely, I couldn't be married to a woman without a career. And motherhood/housewife isn't a career. Nothing against those who are married to one, but it isn't for me.
