Conflicted: Housewife or Working Woman

Re: Conflicted: Housewife or Working Woman

I’m not sure why so many people are so keen to make everything a “desi issue.” Most married couples, desi or otherwise, make important decisions together. I’ve never come across this “my money” and “his money” issue in real life. Most women I know view contributing to the household as the natural thing to do as marriage is a partnership. GS is the only place where I’ve come across this mentality of “mine” and “yours.” I don’t think it’s a coincidence that many of the people espousing this mentality are either unmarried and have no real life experience in this area or married and constantly posting about marital problems.
