Brothers, if your wife had a highly successful career and the means to comfortably provide, would you consider becoming a stay-at-home father? Sisters, what would you think of such an arrangement?

As a sister.. I just got the ick

likefunny

Yeaaaa as a sister I just got the ick as well lol. I could definitely provide for our family but my husband would never allow it. Men are supposed to be the providers and that is what they should do, go out and provide. I'm not saying I want to be a SAHM either but two incomes are better than one.

So what exactly are you talking about you not wanting to be a SAHM and two incomes being better than one all while saying men should be the providers? I’m confused lmao. If you believe men should be the providers, then why does two incomes matter? What are you gonna be doing with your income?

Raising kids is definitely a full time job but there comes a point when the kids won’t need oyu as much and in this economy you just never know so it’s good if both parents working.

I have no problem with someone else doing this if that's what makes sense for their relationship, but I would personally find it emasculating to let my wife provide on her own

lol no. I’m never being a SAHD no matter what. That’s not my duty as a man. My duty is to provide. That is a duty straight from Allah SWT in the Quran, and I take that seriously.

Getting over heartbreak and having a full time job is torture lol. My boyfriend and I just broke up after almost a year of being together.

My body hurts, my stomach is in knots, my head hurts. How is it that I have to mend a broken heart but also meet my billable hours lmao

Been with my GF since college and we recently hit the 4 year mark. 1-2 years into our relationship I found out she had instances of micro-cheating (flirting with guys, talking to ex’s etc - but nothing physical) and we addressed it. To her credit and my knowledge, she’s been apologetic and great at respecting boundaries since, but I still feel the pain from her actions years ago (and have talked to her about it). Feeling lost about whether to just leave or to try and work things out
