I am just so curious... how many female bosses here have done any of the following?

Supported a male partner (i.e.) financially, as the sole means of income, BEFORE marriage?
Helped a male partner generate ideas/create solutions for their job?

At one point, my ex was fired from his job and didn’t find a new job for 9 months. I supported us financially completely (and put myself into my own financial peril because of it). When he got a new job, he broke up with me 1 month later. Safe to say that I will never do it again.

Damn! Karma will get him.

I’m not living with my partner, but he’s currently not working. He’s taking courses for certification. I paid for it. Does that count?

I help my husband a lot with work situations and vice versa. I’m a better writer so he often asks me to proofread or reword emails, presentations, etc. I’ve also pushed him to put himself out there, go for what he wants, and so far it’s always turned out well.

I have never done the first, but my husband I have entirely different careers - I am in business he is a police chief ofone of the largest depts. The distinct difference in our careers allows us to add ideas as welcome from such different perspective.

What are you curious about? That we are supportive partners financially and emotionally and want to see our partners succeed themselves? I’d say most women on this thread would answer yes to your question if they have a partner - what’s the punchline?

Not before marriage, but lost his job during the pandemic and I was the sole income for a year. I currently make 5x his income.

I’ve been married for a while now (5+ years) but feeling completely checked out.

I can’t ever talk about anything that worries me because she just freaks out. We have kids and she has no ability to earn money so leaving would be impossible financially
