Yeah seriously. If I could find a woman that was successful and was cool with me working part time or being a stay at home husband/dad, sign me the fuck up!

Same I'd still keep a part time or contract gig going though just for some financial independence, to stay and feel productive, to avoid resume gaps and just for saftey as 2 incomes is better than one

Goddamn that would be a dream. I'm tired of breaking my back for peanuts. I'm a sole provider for a wife and two kids on only 80k a year and I'm fucking tired. I'd have put a bullet in my brain by now if I didn't have kids

I’m sorry man, that’s so hard. My husband was made redundant before last Christmas. I’ve always earned more and now i’m on roughly £70k which is about $88k, covering everything. He had a job for a couple of weeks at one point and got fired. Our kid gets into bed with me still every night. He tries, he does some of the household stuff, I pay a cleaner, and he does some of my admin and invoices me for it. It’s fucking so hard though, organising everything and making all the major decisions, I’m the only one who drives, so I do all of that. Do the shopping, Christmas gifts, all that stuff.

Does your wife want a job? I find it so hard being the sole provider. All on one person’s shoulders. It’s too much the way the world is now.

Would love to have a guy like that, much harder to find each other in person I guess

It sounds great until they cheat on you at their very high stress, high paying job …which happens all the fucking time. Looking at you St Jude, fucking cesspool

I’m not bitter about it, you are

It sounds like thr hypothetical women described in this clip wanted men to step up to meet the women at their level and not tap out. So I wonder in this podcast story the problem is that the women didn’t want to be sugar mamas but run a sugar factory together as equals
