Re: Need to understand this
I would like some input (without any smart alec comments and degradation pls).
I would like to know why in this day and age are pakistani males so dead against their wives working. In the past 4-5 years that I have come across pakistani males (didn’t interact this closely with pakistani males before then nor was in the rishta process) they do not want women who have careers. If the guy is ok, then his mother / family is not ok with the woman working.
Lately a friend of mine who is a very nice girl works with pakistani guys has been complaining of the same thing. The guys are at great positions but when it comes to choosing partners they all have a condition no working woman. And if the girl says I don’t have a bro and I am working to support my family they run a million miles away.
I just don’t get it. This friend of mine had a rishta going on and the guy’s mother was like she needs to quit her job and even the guy was adamant about it. She told him she is working to support her parents and he was so turned off by that, even though liked her a lot still he couldn’t accept it.
Honestly I am soo mad, this whole serving business is only a guy’s job and that too is fulfilled by his wife towards his parents. What abt her parents?
Really? Why?
Are these guys in Pakistan or the West?
Me personally I always encouraged my wife to finish college and pursue her career, as she was only 20 when we got married. I think a smart educated woman is an amazing asset to have in life. Sitting at home all day, I mean isn’t that boring? Also, if you’re both earning you can end up with a lot of extra money, more than you need. You can use this to go on exotic vacations (Aruba), by a fancy car, invest etc..
