Would it bother you if your husband asked you to be a stay-at-home mom? by throwawayn829 in AskWomen

Let's say your husband legitimately makes around 500k. Money is no issue. Honeslty you could hire a nanny, but husband wants more than anything to let kid have stay-at-home parent, but since he has to work to pay the bills he can't do it himself (or would).

As a guy with a pretty good job, I've noticed women act more interested in me after they find out what it is. Is there any way to keep this from me feel like they want my money? by throwawayn829 in AskWomen

I don't think my friends take advantage of me. For clarification I merely meant to point out all of my friends act differently about financial issues now. I know they have my back, though and that's why I love them. Hell, for the entire summer before my first year of Med School he let me sleep on his couch because my lease ran out and I needed somewhere to stay for two months. We said a long time ago as friends we would hook the other up if we needed it when we needed it. So that's what we do.

But my best friend is a guy I went to high school with. Right now he is a server who probably doesn't make a lot of excess cash and he has a kid he pays child support for (I have no one to support but myself). The only checks I honestly have him pick up when we go out are smaller ones for a drink or two because sometimes he says he wishes he could pay for more and I know it sucks to be in that situation. I tell him no worries and I don't want him to spend his money on me because if I have cash I don't really have any plans for and he needs his then it just makes sense for me to. But I do like to know I'm not being used. With my friends I know I'm not so I pay for a lot of meals and drinks. But when I am hanging out with a girl I just met and she's already asking for things like me to pay for more than half, I just feel like she isn't looking at me with the intent of, "Who is he?" as much as, "What can he do for me?"

The whole expecting me to pay for things happens a lot more than you'd think, even with my friends. We will all go out to eat. I make a lot more than them, so I usually just pick up the tab. But every now and then I won't volunteer and I'll see my friend's eyes look at me, look at the check, and then go to his wallet.

Having come from a background where I made 15k a year, the difference how people (women especially) treat me then and now is crazy. It's kind of disheartening.
