Does it really matter if Girls have jobs and their Men are jobless?

I dont think it matters unless your just old fashioned! I think it is just as important for a women to have a job! But if the man wants to be the "house wife" and stay home i see no reason why he cannot if his woman is all right with it.

I don't expect any man to provide for me, as I am financially independent. But I do expect my man to work. To me, a man who is unwilling to work is a waste of my time- I would consider him to be lazy in all areas of life (unless he was legitimately disabled, of course). Any man should be able to at least contribute financially and have some goals in life.

i dont find any problem but my man may take it lightly.it would hurt their big ego.

A man should provide for their family, but if the situation was reverse and I become the provider instead of my husband its ok for me as long as he is doing his part as my lifetime partner in anyway he can. Like household chores or taking care of our kids or have some partime job as long as he contribute some money even if not that much.

hmmmm.. nope not really. if he wants to take a break from working, he can do so. i can work. i love working. by not going to the office regularly, he can stay home and attend to the kid and the dogs. it would actually be less of a burden for me knowing that he's there taking care of what we value most.

personally for me it is a big matter. it is very funny for me if only girl work and boy not working. i prefer type of man who support family life rather than just waiting and sitting at home to watch tv. i think man is the head of the family and they need to work not staying at home.

i worked since i was nine and now my children are grown and i have the chance to start again. i think i would make a great mr mom for a women that wanted to have a family and a carrer i had my experience now im ready to reverse roles in that respect plus i can fix anything around the house or garage and save money on repair bills with added experience as a father too. i think times have changed and any thing is possible now days and its ok in my book. i allways dreamed of the traditional family but it has to change with the times too.

Well I share your views. i would also like my wife to take on social services like teaching slum dewellers or working for stray dogs AND OFCOURSE WITHOUT REMUNERATION As I will only marry when i am confident that i can run my house on my income alone.

Like Laurifnp said I do not wanna be supported. I wanna make my own money and wanna be able to take care of myself, however I also not wanna support the man. Ofcourse I can hel if he´s having trouble - but to support him for a long time - no way =)

Men should be the providers, but the cost of living is so high that sometimes it takes two.

I think that both male/female should work. I dont think it matters if one provides more than the other but both should be making a financial commitment. I have seen many cases where the woman does not want to work or the male does not want to! Reguardless of which it is(mail/female) both need to have a job. Even if you have kids and all of your(whoever makes the least) money is going for child care! It still gets both of you away from the stress and gives you a chance to socialize with other people. To me it makes the relationship much healthier.

for me it matters, not really because it bothers me that i have to do all the spending, i just know my partner and i don't want to go stepping in and out of his ego, i just know he couln't and wouldn't bare to see that happen.

It only matters if it matters to you. What other people think is irrelevant. If I make enough to support my SO someday I wouldn't mind supporting him.

because of the changes in our generation it is accepted in our society today for men to stay at home to take care of the children. But for my personal opinion i also want my husband to work. I may sound old fashion but i think the men should be the one who will provide food or other needs of the family.

I say each to their own. Personally I would find it hard to have self respect if I had another person providing for me, so even if I was married I would always want to be making enough money to provide myself with all the things I need. I wouldn't want to support someone else if they were just being lazy and refusing to work.

Well, sometimes it has to be that way. But, I prefer for my husband to work and I'd want to work as well or just raise our children.

It would not matter to me. I am a stay at home mom right now & have been for almost 8 years. My husband is a diabetic with health problems. We know that at some point he is probably going to have to quit working. When that time comes I have no problem stepping up & supporting our family.

You would not be seen as a sugar mommy. However, the way that you posted this, at least the way that I am reading it is that you expect a man to take care of you, as if that is just the way that God intended for it to be. Were that you were here in the states, you would find that there is a silent agreement among many that in this day and age, there is no set "way" that a household should be. However, I can respect the idea that you are an old fashioned type girl. AUNTY

I think that should not matter in some situations. For example if the man has being fired and does not have a job but he is looking for one.
