salary to parents

Doesn’t matter what his wife thinks. It’s his money!! if he has no problem giving money to his parents then so be it. Not being able to get a hair cut is lil too extreme but if she desires to have something (shoes, gucci bags, etc) which he can’t provide b/c he is supporting his parents, she could go work

1. I didn’t read any posts here that suggest that the guy abandon his parents. He’s not giving the money to his parents to support them. He’s giving it to them and letting the have 100% control over his finances. A LOT of men give a set amount of money to their parents if the parents are not able to support themselves financially for whatever reason…but the men still retain control over their own money.

2. So you’re saying it doesn’t matter what his wife thinks b/c it’s “his money”…what about the house? Car? Clothes? Vacations? If the wife doesn’t work, does that mean that all those things are “HIS” and she has no say in anything? So a wife has no say over retirement savings? What about the kids college education savings…as the mother of the kids, does the wife have any right to have an opinion on that or is that “his” too?

IMO marriage is about partnership. If a man and a woman isn’t willing to become “one” and still wants to do the whole “that’s mine and this is yours”, then that’s a recipe for a unhappy relationship.
