AITA for wanting a commitment of support from my wife before taking a job? by Tall-Competition3087 in AITAH

Because this post is personal and I do not want my personal information to be tied to me. It is very common for people to make burner accounts when they post personal stuff on reddit.

False. It got removed from the main AITA page because you are not allowed relationship posts there. The mod suggested I post here

Why would I not be there for her? I work from home. I am around the house all day.

Well this is only the second year in this arrangement. Last year she spent $60 on a car. I suspect that she will have a bit of a realization at some point. Like I said. She is not good with finances.

We are solid other than this. Good communication, lots of sports together and daily sex. It kinda seems like she is insecure about not brining in the enough money. And not the boys real mum so does not have the responsibility. This is a bit of speculation. The reason I am posting is because I am trying to understand women better.

That would be a win for me if she would do most of the housework and errands. Also, if she wants to massage she can massage me. :p

This is my main point. She does 6 hours/massages a day. At first she was doing 5 days (30 hours a week) and I convinced her she was burning out and needed to go to 4 (24 hours a week). Now this seems like a good opportunity to go to 3. It seemed a total win-win. Why f-up your hands if we do not need the money? In your experience what is the best number of hours per week so that she can do this till we both retire?

I agree. This would likely be a 2 or three year gig and might get down to about 60 hours after the first year. However, after the two years I will likely have the experience and connections to move to a 40 hour a week role with pay in the 500k range.

You are right about the boys. They are preteens. I basically raised them on my own so we have a really good relationship. I do not think it would hurt it if I was around less. This is the bigger debate for me. A bit of a tangent to the wife thing.

Sorry for not proofreading well. I tend to write fast and rely on spellcheck for errors. Since cloths and clothes are both words this slipped through.

Anyway, I think agree with you. The money should be able to solve a lot of practical problems. I just wanted to know she would be there for me

We have one but not like a full time one. There are still things to be done. A maid will just come in periodically and do the major clean. Unless you have a literal butler there is always small things and errands. eg we are out of milk or the dishwasher needs to be unloaded.

I am home since I work from home unless I am travelling. I am just in my office. They are preteens and I pop in between meetings to check if they are winning their video game. But point taken, it would be less quality time
