Is it difficult for women to live off thier husbands income? With parents i guess its different but get married and then being dependant on someone else for everything is this just odd.
One of the thing that is transpiring in Canada that Pakistanis are quickly becoming the poorest community and one of the reasons cited is many Pakistani women don’t work. It is just not about how one feels about being dependent but many cannot afford to live on one income especially if one has children. raising kids properly is very expensive and in this country you need to put them in activities. Also with a 50 percent divorce rate one has to be realistic about 50/50 prospect
Before the industrial revolution of 1960s in the US, most US households were single income. That was a time when family structure was more or less still intact and marriages were more stable and were under less strain I would say as basic necessities of life were far more affordable and people spending their entire careers at a single organization was common.
Fast forward to present day, marriages are under far greater strain due to various factors. Jobs come with zero guarantee. Some strains are unavoidable but some are of our own making. We all know several people who are neck deep in debt, yet drive a shiny new car, go to exotic vacations, have the latest gadget and live in the largest house. Somewhere along the road, we forgot to live within our means. I don?t blame individuals but I guess priorities have changed.

So I think women are obviously in a better position to answer your question but I firmly believe for a very long time that all women should work and contribute to the household. Its so much important for the family itself. Less dependency on each other, a secondary income and somewhat more luxury towards the errands
Unless dude has a gazillion dollars of course it will be. It could be lessened if the family is the woman and her S/O, but with kids involved it is going to be difficult.
