She doesn't and prefers not to work.... but she sure expects to shop whenever she wants and get a new condo? Hell no. And I'm a woman. ha. The husband provides and takes vacations, buys "nice" things, but that is just ridiculous. Unless, irishman would prefer to just accept and let her be that way... then that's their choice.
Well, duh... that's what I said. It's kind of like choosing whether or not to have kids. It's no one else's concern. What's your point?
I think people need to lay off on the fact that wife doesn't and prefers not to work in the future. So the hell what? She doesn't need to, Irish is ok with it, and really doesn't factor into the fact that she hates the GF. Pfffffftttttt... it doesn't matter here. Now, if it did bother Irish, then he can start a new thread about it.
Exactly. That's why I said those are not relevant questions for him. They are not even remotely concerned with WHO will be the breadwinner in the event of a disaster.
He is bothered by her attitude about money, but not for the reasons he needs to be bothered. If they did any REAL work in therapy, he would then be aware of the REAL reasons her attitude bothers him and they would have a conversation about "what-ifs."
Right now they are still teenagers emotionally, and we all know teenagers do not think about the future.

I'm impressed you read this much, but you are REALLY late to this party.
We've been trying to slap some sense into him for a year now. It's not about the shopping.

Ha, okay okay.
Just didn't think it was okay to justify her wanting to sit and do nothing and spend all this money. But I've obviously missed a few points. Carry on.

You're right. It's not OK. But there are so many other things here that are not OK that they won't deal with.
Quit having conversations about the "little" things and have a conversation about the big things, like "how are we going to spend the rest of our lives?" "What are our priorities?"

That doesn't go over too well when one party is pouting profusely and giving one word answers that go nowhere. This is how it would go down, I bet every dollar I earn between now and 2050.
Me: How are we going to spend the rest of our lives?
Her: I don't know
Me: What are our priorities?
Her: I don't know
^ I guarantee that that would be the totality of our conversation

And how would the conversation go if one person wasn't pouting like a selfish, naïve 13 year old who didn't get the birthday present that she demanded from her daddy?
