Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?

I love it how everything turns into desi bashing.

I don’t think men now have a lot of problems with wives earning more than them. It does become a problem when the wife becomes so obsessive with her career that she neglects her home, family and husband. This is also true the other way around when marriages break down because the husband is a workaholic. It is, however, a fashion to sympathize with a woman when her husband leaves her because she is obsessed with her career and to demonize a husband who loses his family to his love for his profession.

Honestly, how many women do you know that work, and are desi, in respectable fields that by the way this thread is going, would be considered “power careers” do you know that neglect their home?

I’m doing pretty ok with my job, not to tout horns, but I come home and do my own cooking and cleaning, and no I still haven’t hired that maid although I really should so I can focus on a couple of other projects at work. But I do all my cooking and cleaning. Bathroom cleaned fully once a week, toilet cleaned multiple days, I cook dinner for most of my dinners, rarely go out (did for a while with friends, but that got expensive, although good for the lonliness). I do use the dishwasher now instead of my hands, cuz I finally have a dishwasher - never had one through my training and education, so I always did dishes by hand.

So, not clear…how do we not balance a career and a home?
