A woman can be a stay at home wife and still have self respect. However I do agree that she is and should not in any way feel the lesser half in the marriage.
Btw, if I could, and I've seriously told this to my wife a few times, I'd be a stay at home husband, if she's willing to earn the money. I've a wife who's as lazy as I am, so she declined. Now society expects that the man provide for his family. Fuckin' society :(
So unfair! :(

Maybe he and I should start an online petition or something :D
To whom? Agnelli? :D

Does he not help? But I get it if he doesn't and you clean anyway. I stayed with two messy friends while I was on vacation and it drove me up a wall. I just tidied up myself to avoid going crazy.
He does most of it already, he's a lot tidier than I am :D

She was a straight A student in our department. Could have probably gone on to PHD in something.

so unless you have a phd your potential is unfulfilled? but lets forget that for a second, and think about what matters more being happy or pursuing some ego/society inspired chimera? Dont get me wrong the 2 are not mutually exclusive but this talk of potential and talent is just another tool to make us all fall in line and be goold old agents of the machine. you go after a phd or something because that what YOU want to do.

I had a friend in college who was pretty intelligent but had decided she would be a housewife. I once told her I thought that would be a waste of her talent and the money she was spending in school. She said that while he understood my point, she was brought up that once a woman was married her place was under her husband. Pretty arcane thinking. I merely replied that I preferred my women on top or in front.
That was a very good reply. :D

I agree, people define success differently. To some people they may define success by material possessions/money, other may think of success in higher education and employment, others with family and others with religion etc. Having a PHD would mean nothing to a person that is happy raising a family. I think society in general puts too much pressure on people to go to Uni and get a good job otherwise you're seen as a failure (not true). Not everyone should have high expectations placed upon them because some people just aren't good at certain things.

or maybe people care too much what society/community thinks of them, too many people walking around with a chip on their shoulder and even more drones walking around repeating what they were programmed to say or do.
