Re: Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?
Cover up? lol ritttee! none of my posts here r edited so u or anyone at all can go bk n chk what i said n how ur translating it into something else. Anyways, i dnt think there is any point in arguing with you because you lack the basic manners of having a healthy argument. .
Isn't it amusing how ZK is her own worst enemy and how her own words demonstrate her elitist and condescending attitude, which so many of us have been on the receiving end of?
Re: Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?
not always the case... there was a thread on his about a week or so ago..
just because women earn, doesnt mean they dont contribute the mortage(s) and other financial harships/commitments.
Yes true true!. My older sister is working woman with a kid and she equally contributes though my bro-inlaw earns good. I meant to say this kind of arrangment is between husband and wife. But as a general rule of principle..it's me who pay bills, rent and make sure my wife is secure.

As a really wise man, i know, says.. its not what you mean but what you say.
So if you meant for her to stop writing or whatever, then say it as it is. Dont go around insulting people. Period
SEcondly, how do you know that women who work dont have their priorities straight? Is their home being neglected? Mostly, not. Are her kids being negleced? Mostly not. Are we depriving our SO's of anything? Mostly, not. Do we not provide cooked home meals? Mostly, not.

Then where do you get this fluff from about women neglecting their home?**
I'd love to know where all these examples of neglectful working mothers are.. cos I don't think I know of a single one personally..
Re: Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?
If anything, sometimes women who sit around at home and have nothing better to do...esp our stereotypical desans...what do they do? They got on the phone and gossip and create trouble in their social circles.
How is that better than a working mom who might be stretched thin at times trying to cover everything? How is that sort of mom not neglectful?
I can tell you, my mom and i have a good relationship NOW. But when I was growing up, I can count a handful of times she actually played with me. And she was a SAHM. I don't know what her deal was...she didn't know anyone when she moved to this country and so I think she stayed sad and would watch a lot of tv and be on the phone or cooking. I remember asking her to play board games with me, and she wouldn't. Now that's a stay at home.
Re: Do men feel threatened if their wives make more?
Ideally it shouldn't matter. But it can also depend upon the attitude of the wife. Is it getting to her head, is she looking down on him, etc? Apart from the ego issue......it's also possible that the increased work load that can come with a higher salary leaves little time for a couple to spend with one another, their kids, and for managing household responsibilities, thus putting a strain on the marriage. So, the problem may not be always be as simple as the husband's bruised ego.....it can be be more complex than that and aggravated by other issues.
same issues apply when the man is the successful half. Not too many women make a big issue out of this I think. So not sure why this should be an issue with roles reversed.
why on earth do you say “yo” at the end of each sentence ,even if its in urdu ?
