My husband said, "If you want to live better, go and work.
When a husband is not obliged to provide for a non-working wife.In one film, there was such a scene: a man tells his girlfriend that she should give him money for groceries, since they share living and eating expenses, so they should also spend money on food together, not just him. And then she said that he should give her money too, for spending nights with him.
And the man said, "Yes, you're right, I'm a man. And I have to provide for us." Well, this is a movie. And what about life? Should one man provide for the whole family, including satisfying all the personal needs of a woman, which, by the way, are not very cheap today? Often, a woman sits at home and demands that her husband earn more, because they need a larger apartment, a newer car, and it would also be good to fly to a warm country by the sea for the New Year. Women believe that a good and caring husband, of course, will do his best for the family. He can do anything. And if necessary, he will get a second and even a third job. Of course, many will say that now life is such that it would be good for both spouses to work, and not even to fly to the sea, but simply to provide the family with the most necessary, high-quality food, clothes, and pay for utilities.
Yes. But today, there is such a vast difference in incomes that everyone's situation is unique. And most often it is unstable, today it is one way, and tomorrow it will be different. But the point is whether the husband should try to earn more alone so that his family lives in luxury, and at the same time provide for a non-working wife who believes that it is the male who is the primary (or even the only) breadwinner? One man works at a state-owned enterprise. From nine in the morning to six in the evening. The family has enough for everything. When he got married, his wife was well aware of his work and income. She also worked then. And after the birth of the child, the woman no longer wanted to go to work. My husband did not mind, his salary is enough. But not for a luxurious life, but for an average one, so to speak, without buying a car, without traveling to warm countries.
When his wife hinted that she wanted to rest, her husband told her to go to work and earn money, and he could not afford it alone. The family does not need anything now; the child has everything he needs. And he does not want to work several jobs, get tired, nervous, and not get enough sleep just because his non-working wife wanted to bask on the seashore. Is he right? Everything seems logical. And after all, a man's answer does not mean that he does not love his wife and does not care about the family. "The husband is obliged to provide the family with everything necessary, but he is not obliged to provide luxury - he can do it, but he is not obliged. Do you know why? Because luxury has no limits. You can buy a car in the basic configuration, or you can endlessly add on to it, with no limits.
