what do you think about a marriage wherein a wife role is only to be at home where the husband came home. i mean literally, handling money, doing the groceries, bills, the whole budgeting and money matters are all up with the husband. even not giving an allowance to the wife. what kind of relationship is this? please help me comprehend the situation. would you still be happy and continue this kind of situation?

Is this about you, a neighbor, a relative? I mean, of course it sounds awful, could be "cultural" - are they from somewhere else?

nicolepsy, I guess you're right - I was thinking of a situation where she was very submissive, but she could just be very lazy.

It doesn't sound like much of a life but it depends on how the person feels about it. Personally I wouldn't like the situation and would speak up for myself.

goldenmom, well, no, maybe you are right and this is a very controlling man she is speaking of.

a friend with two child. cultural is not a reason since normally it is the wife who is handling the resources and keeping the household. i keep on telling her this is abnormal to me. it is just like living like on her own. she has the capacity to leave the husband since she can earn on his own that staying and keep comparing herself with other wives and keeping the heartache of being like that. yayas and maids are better than her who's getting at least their salary at the end of the month. sorry for comparing but it really seems not so right to me.

well, if you are not happy then can you tell your husband? maybe he will understand and let you do more of the things you wish to do?
if he will not understand then you should get a divorce. or you can just continue to live this way. you DO have a choice!
