**I agree. I feel my wife would be a much happier person learning a trade and contributing to society. If the whole marriage is based on me, the husband all the time then it is trouble when I act human - imperfect. Plus you never know what this world will bring, so not having these skills in world that now offers them to women is not shrewd. **
Have you been so kind as to share with your wife your opinion that she is not contributing to society as you expect from her? I would want to know if my husband felt I was not a worthy contribution to his society so that I could begin socking away money for the day when he walses out the door with a more worthy "contributing societial woman."
Also, have you let her know that you don't want to be the center of her attention and you would like for her to divert her atttention; as you would prefer for her to not see your "imperfections"? That is another hint that she should be packing away the dough for the day your "imperfections" have you walsing out the door with a woman who contributes to your socieity in a way that is worthy of your respect.
As for the third clue your wife needs to hear from "you never know what this world will bring..." Here you are forecasting that you are likely to ditch her for a more worthy, career woman in the future. If you die, I take it you have life insurance that will see her through the economic hardship. But I think that is not your plan and she should know who you are as soon as possible.
Didn't you read just a wee bit into that? What I saw in the post is that some men don't want the whole burden of bringing home all the income. Frankly, it's risky these days.
You have some good points below. Now you know why the majority of the male species are daft - we have good intentions but we suck at phrasing things to our women. This will remind me what NOT to say to my wife.
