No,no,no don't do it. I did that and I didn't feel like a woman at All.
Women used to tell me whattheir husbands bought for them and deep down,I was envious.
I had to work while he lived a life of ease.

There's nothing easy about cooking, cleaning, and raising children.
Well, considering that the situation listed is pretty close to my own - yes. Difference being that my husband is "eye candy" in the adorable/cute way, vice the "hot body with perfectly sculpted muscles" way. He keeps the house relatively clean, cooks all meals from scratch, and takes good care of our daughter.
Have a strong family bond is worth a lot more to me than the money he'd be making at a paying job.
I'm curious...how many women on this Board would be okay with a "hunk" for a husband who (1) did not make a lot of money; (2) did not want to make a lot of money; and (3) did not have the credentials to make a lot of money (let's say he has a degree in art history and works as a docent in the local museum).
Let's also assume he's of above average intelligence. He's a good person and generally motivated when it comes to work. He just values work-life balance more than making the partnership, and as a consequence, he only makes $40,000 per year. For the most part, he's perfectly content with being an employee and not moving up the ladder to run the museum. He'd rather spend time with his family.
For purposes of this thread, let's assume that you, the woman, make around $250,000 per year, so money's not an issue. You come home one day and your hubby says, "You know, you're making a lot of money these days. I'm not. How about I just stay at home, pick up the kids, make dinner, and clean up the house?" Your husband also lifts weights every day and maintains a perfect six-pack. Basically, he'd be the male version of Betty Draper.
Would this be an acceptable arrangement for you? Do you think you'd be more attracted to your husband if he were more ambitious and gave the orders at work instead of taking them?
This is an impossible scenario. I mean come on. A guy that could be described as a "hunk" working as a docent at an art museum?
Been there. Done that. I wouldn't do it again. Ended up I would get home from work and he figured he'd been home all day so he deserved to get out of the house. Well, I worked all day too but he saw it as me 'getting away'. Also, after a bit I'd come home and still end up doing most of the housework because he was too busy fishing or whatever.
Wouldn't care what a man made as long as he worked and put effort into whatever he did.
