The Backseat

Re: The Backseat

Why turn it into a competition between the genders as to which one is frequently confronted with a certain decision? How exactly would taking a poll or knowing this help, PCG?

Is the issue about the idea of you having to give up more than him? By marrying you, he’s also taking up greater responsibility. He too would have to make sacrifices with his time, money, various goals etc. And even if you forgo the corporate ladder climbing, your current job is demanding enough as it is. So, he would have to make compromises dealing with your job too. You’re both gaining and compromising. It’s not even farz upon to you work as it is for him. This is not to say you shouldn’t work or pursue your ambitions, but not at the expense of the home/family.
