Reply #24: Really depends on the woman in question.

I'm supportive of my wife in whatever she wants to do. Admittedly she has times when she wants to do X, and is in the middle of doing X and decides now to do Y... maybe as she said herself she has ADHD but that's for her and a pyschiatrist to talk over and I guess I might need to nudge her that way.

However she has said in the past that she'd love to be a stay at home mom, get her degree, might work part time when our son goes back to school... Fortunately I have enough life insurance on us right now, I probably couldn't get a decent rate if I wanted to now (unless I signed one that explicitly ruled out suicide - you got to love being bipolar!). So if I were to pop my clogs my family would be covered for some time... but not entirely long enough; my wife would have to go back to work full time eventually.

Now I might draw the line at her prostituting herself (but if she wanted to do porn that's OK by me... prostituting and doing porn are two different things in my eyes and yes I'm sure that there are men who have a fetish about 'large' women) but she's she and I wouldn't have it any other way. I mean, when we married she kept her last name... even if it was on the grounds of it costs too much to change the passport. In any case I don't care - I didn't marry her to increase the number of people with my last name... I married her because I love her to bits and want to spend the rest of my life with her. I must admit with work, our son, money, etc, I may have lost touch with that and haven't showed her I care for her... but I try.

Anyway. Enough rambling.

Mark.
