Men: Would you prefer your wife does not work?

Asked by JLeslie (65418points) July 8th, 2011

Does it depend on how much money you have?

Does it have anything to do with whether you have children or not?

Assume for this question the woman is just fine with not working, you are not stopping her from pursuing her goals. There is no assumption of some sort of macho, power trip, controlling male here.

Maybe you just like the simplicity in the definitions of roles? She takes care of the house and children, has dinner ready when you get home from work? Can travel with you at any time? No need to coordinate time off with her job? Focuses on looking good? What are the things you like about it, if you favor the idea?

If you prefer she works, why? Is she more interesting? Her ambition is attractive to you? Less pressure on you to be the breadwinner?
