Just wondering...do you men prefer a traditional relationship in which the women stays home and takes care of the home and the man or would you prefer that she work outside the home and bring in an income.

Come on you guys...please reply. I broke off a relationship because the guy wanted me to work and contribute...actually pay half of everything. I am just sooooo thinking that most guys are looking for a paycheck and a woman who will keep the house clean, do the laundry, cook, etc. etc. I just can't find it in me to be superwoman for any guy no matter how much I love him.

i don't think i could do the traditional house-wife thing.

i truly think i'd feel...obligated and afraid to spend that money.

I think if the guy you were with valued you as a person and respected what you did as valuable then you wouldn't feel anymore guilty about spending the money he made than he does showering in the shower you cleaned or sleeping in the bed that you made or wearing the clean clothes that you washed.

I have had it both ways. Was fine either way, as long as when I was working outside the home, I had help inside the home.
Today it is so hard for a home to exist on one income. I feel bad for the kids. I believe that children need at least one parent home. To nurture and teach what is not taught at a facility. But, I also know that it is sometimes impossible to have it that way. Life is not as easy as it used to be.
