Money, or rather lack of it acts as a catalyst when it comes to challenges of life. Keeping everything else equal - lack of money makes challenges such as health, relationships, etc even more stressful
One of the things that really bother me is wives complaining their husbands don’t make enough to provide for them or husbands complaining their wives aren’t taking good care of the house and kids. Whether it’s about money, child rearing, household chores, or whatever, it affects both partners and one should not be blamed for all of it. Help your spouse instead of giving lectures about gender roles and what your religion says about responsibilities.
If I am struggling with something, I expect him to help me and if he is struggling with something, I am there to help.
Money is important but not more than your relationship with your SO. As long as i am living decently within my means, i can always be happy. My wife told me one day what if we didnt have what we have, would you still have married me?
So i reversed the question back to her, she said yes anytime because with you i am secure always. I think that was powerful.
If you are not earning enough then your wife suppose to help you. I dont understand mentality of some desi people. When married, you both are team.
