Only one bringing putting the bread on the table.?

Question

What do you think about one spouse working in a relationship? And opinions. Do you think it is hard and stressful for the one with the job? Thanks

Answer 1

As long as you are both communicating with each other, and helping each other out, it's fine. Just KEEP THE COMMUNICATION LINES OPEN so resentment doesn't have a chance to build up silently.

Answer 2

Well it depends on the situation and whether it's ongoing or a temporary thing. I wouldn't mind being the one 'bringing home the bacon' if my man was temporarily unemployed, injured and unable to work, or in the midst of changing careers/going to school. If it were a chronic situation where he just didn't want to work, then there would need to be some changes made. I think if you are going to be together you should be prepared at some point to carry you both if the situation arises, but there has to be a plan of action so that it doesn't continue indefinitely.
