Should Working Class Wives Be Given 'Upkeep'? by Nobody: 8:40pm On Oct 26, 2019 |
Personally I’ve never fancied the idea. Myself and my brothers live with this ideology even in marriage and we ain’t sad about that. Now ...general question Does it make sense to give a working class woman monthly upkeep or whatever that stuff is called ? Upkeep should only come into the equation if your partner is a housewife or so....and doesn’t work 12 Likes |

I can’t even imagine not giving my wife upkeep money. Working or not maybe because of my pride as the man of the house lol. Then again can’t trust this women they be needing the slightest reason to cheat on you & i don’t want a “stingy husband” to be one. 171 Likes 4 Shares |

Plead:I agree. In addition to that, I believe feminists, psuedo-feminists, SJWs, in fact, any woman who claims to be a strong independent woman by attaching herself to any of these listed labels, ought NOT to expect to be given "upkeep" as a matter of principle. Oh how I hate this word, "upkeep". For wives (working or not) who deserve it, I'd rather refer to it as an 'honorarium'. 41 Likes 5 Shares |

crackhaus: Well, I am sure you would rarely find a working wife opening a tread on how to handle all the chores alone on reddit. We have different cultures. Most other cultures realize that for a wife to really keep the house, she can't work outside it so they frown at working wives. Nigerians expect a wife doing 9 - 5 bar commute time to keep the house alone while the husband wants to 'rest' and hangout on weekends working same schedule. We would continue to see comments like these. 99 Likes 5 Shares |

Plead: Provided that she is/remains submissive, she'll always have unrestricted access to available and accessible money at any time, whether or not she earns money directly/personally. As a submissive/good/aristocratic/humane/virtuous/loving woman who's independent-minded: - Her word is bankable, so there won't be any need to take up the task of monitoring and controlling an adult, because she'll always be altruistic and conscientious and knows how to deploy each where and when necessary. And that, broadly, means that one won't dissipate energy in the pursuit of oneness with her in particular, and peace of mind in general, because she understands that liberty doesn't negate decorum. - With her, personal longing to achieve eternal oneness with an opposite sex of a nonkin automatically becomes an easy task. So, she deserves the absolute best treatment. 24 Likes 5 Shares |
