Why do muslim guys have no issues working in consulting themselves, but when it comes to seeking a wife, they seem to want one that's not in consulting? I would imagine being in the same profession would help with the understanding and chemistry, no?

Because most Muslim men have been brain fed since childhood that women have a traditional role in society and homes, and when they come across successful and ambitious women they get insecure.

Ignore them and move on.

Ad hominems don’t make an argument wrong. Why should anyone trust a liberal Zionist like you in a Muslim group?

Not always true. My wife was a consultant.

In the same profession, then you always have something to talk about. The risk is that you always talk about work.

She was when we got engaged and married. She quit after our second kid because of child care issues during Covid

IMO its because of the demanding nature of consulting, the travel, and that we know it’s a shark tank. It’s also conducive to having affairs and relationships. Men are afraid of these potential issues. Also it’s hard to be the best spouse when you consult and sometimes we want a home outside of consulting. That’s my two cents.

Most men that have money just want a woman to take care of the house, kids, and follow their lead. It might not be what you want to hear, but it’s the reality for many in this demographic.

This is reinforced by both our Islamic tradition and countless modern sociologists as well.

My wife was in consulting first 10 years of our marriage. She quit consulting when we had our 3rd kid and moved to an industry role. Frankly she loves the WLB and the pay. Alhamdullilah it was a win-win situation as she gets more time with the kids teaching them Islam.

People that have small children - how do you deal with your child’s stress and separation anxiety when you go to work? My 4-year old goes berserk almost every day at some point relating to me having to work. The worst part is that I’ve been working from home bc of Covid and I’m literally just walking upstairs after giving hugs and kisses and saying see you soon 800 times. My spouse is a stay at home parent, but that doesn’t seem to matter to my son. A piece of me dies everyday because of this.

Something to brighten your day 🤗
I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!
