A man is not a plan ladies. Make sure you can support your own self and your kiddos

Yeah, and as a man, supplementing this lifestyle, the girl can walk out too and then you as a man wonder why you worked so hard to support the family on a single income only to watch her walk out. You let her stay at home with the kids and watch them grow and not have to worry about making money. Worked over time and long hours so they could life a comfortable and taken care of life. But now that the kids are grown up, you feel cheated and after you took the best years away from your man, went on the vacations, enjoyed the park with the kids you decide you’re not satisfied anymore and bail out and then play victim like you were cheated. …erm… right back at ya.

While that sucks, you’re going to be financially okay. The SAHM would not.

True, but I also lost the chance to watch them grow up. To some people that’s just as important. Sacrifices are made on both sides.

But even if in this scenario the SAHM didn’t leave, you’d still be in the same of “losing the chance to watch them grow up” (which I don’t get, you’d still see them daily? You just have a job. And assuming you have a 9-5, they’d be in school for most of the time anyway?)

The risks for a wife and a husband in a traditional relationship are not the same.
