Sounds like this person would not be that giving to have a child...if the writer suggested it to her - he would find that she would refuse him that also...it would be a test...if she loved him or not...he has to find out what is really motivating her...She may have figured out in a pragmatic manner that there is enough money for both of them...so why work for more- maybe the man believes that money is more important than her...that angle is to be considered.
She wants to have kids and get married asap. She wants to be a mom. Just to give you some context.
She said she was raised in a culture where the men take care of everything for the woman in their lives. I've met her family and that it how her father has raised his daughter and has completely enabled the mentality she has.
Tell her in that culture the women also don't get higher education, arent supposed to leave the house without a man with them, cant drive, have to cover themselves from head to toe all the time...no fancy clothing, must scrub the house with a toothbrush each day, cook 5 course meals every day, and carefully and loving bathe the man's penis each morning in an apple/cinnamon shower gel, and pat it dry.
See what reaction you get. And share that reaction with us, please.
What she says and what actually happens later are two completely different things... my wife used to say the same thing and then she realizes that it was stupid... in the end, when you are married there isn't a yours and mine moneypot anymore... its pointless... it may sound nice but in practice, it isn't really feasible... so if you love her, you got to put up with stupid ideas and talk from time to time (I bet you already have done that already)... just to be fair, my wife also has to put up with my stupid ideas and talk from time to time... bottom line, if you love her, who cares and keep working on the relationship (it may not the first time she came up with a dumb idea and I can promise you it won't be the last)...
oh my. i have to say that you need a new girl friend. i'm in Grad School and work part time and pick up extra hours when i can. my hubby works full time. my school is paid for through GI bill. while we could sustain on his income alone, i personally wouldn't put that financial burden on him. no matter how much one person make, to live comfortably as a couple it takes two. things happen i.e. emergencies, babies, etc etc. what if she decides to leave after she gets her degree? good luck
I do love her a lot. She's amazing except for this major issue.
Since we argue about it so much the math has come up more than once between us.
If you guys are talking marriage, are you taking the pre-nup route or what?
