So, your wife needed your permission to take her God-given role in marriage, as wife. mother, and homemaker, instead of a career woman who must hand over her moral right and duty to mother her children to a babysitter — if you decide she must? Why should she have to ask you for the “privilege” of taking her women’s role in your marriage. A man promises his wife when he marries “all my worldly goods I thee endow” — he supports his wife, it isn’t the other way around. Maybe you aren’t as blameless as you think.
What an absolutely pompous answer.
FIRST off, he NEVER said anything about NEEDING his permission. What he said was she just up and quit her job, without consulting him.
They were both working, 2 incomes meeting the bills. Suddenly one person decides on their own to change things. I imagine you'd be pretty pissed if your husband would suddenly decide to by himself a brand new car, without at least telling you beforehand. I can't imagine any couple making major decisions, that impact the other person, without at least discussing them first.
Only a piece of crap would make a major move that effects the other, without discussing it before hand.
You make mention of a vow a man makes. A woman makes a vow to respect her husband. OBVIOUSLY something you know nothing about.
She made the decision to be a stay at home mom and toss $50k of income/year away, putting the responsibility to work harder and support the family firmly on me, without consulting me before making the decision. Then, I get blamed for the decision she made when she "threw her career away" to stay home with the kids. You ladies cannot have it both ways and always blame us men.
Seems to me you're the real piece of work here.
USC stated that SHE CHOSE to leave her job.
Then SHE BLAMED him for her "throwing her career away".
Like his EX, you can't choose to argue that she had every right to stay at home AND THEN allow the complaint that it was his fault she gave it all up.
If your going to excoriate him for her quitting work to stay home, then you must accept the responsibility that she blamed him for her quitting her career.
Like USC said "You ladies cannot have it both ways and always blame us men."
No, she didn't need permission. Talking about it, planning for it, letting me know AHEAD OF TIME rather than just springing it on me one day certainly would've been nice.
Bitter, much?
