I work, my wife is a housewife. My father worked, my mother was a housewife. Her father worked, her mother was a housewife. We married knowing our values were pretty aligned on this. My wife worked until we had children, but dropped her career when the children arrived. She struggled a bit with the decision, but I let her make it without pushing her too much. It's a big decision and I didn't want to risk any unnecessary resentment. But I probably would have pushed if she had shown stronger signs of wanting to keep the career (possibly after a predictably-challenging trial period). Ideally you would have been on the same page on this before marrying. You'll both need a bit of honesty, empathy and compromise for this one. (BTW, ignore the "I don't see this marriage lasting" guy. What you make of your marriage is up to you and your wife, not us internet randos. Best of luck!) |
