No, but it's anachronistic.

So much for me learning a new word today…
I had a look in my dictionary, and ‘misoginistic’ doesn’t exist…
I think I will settle for ‘misogynous’… assuming of course you are referring to hating women!!!
I don’t know that ‘hating women’ has got anything to do with you not wanting your wife to work.
‘Not respecting her wishes’ might be more to the point!!!
I appreciate that you have got enough money (You can give me some if you have too much!!!) but if your wife feels she needs to go out and work, then that is something she should be entitled to do.
She is your wife, and contrary to what a lot of husbands may think, that doesn’t make her your property! If she feels she needs to go out and get a job, then I believe you should respect her wishes, and not try to stop her. I assume she is not talking about working as a prostitute, so unless you are feeling somewhat insecure in yourself, you shouldn’t interfere in her doing what she feels she needs to do!!!

working isn't just about money, it's also about getting out in the world and being around people and working allows you to feel productive and you can never have too much money these days. your wife is a grown women who should be allowed to make her own decisions she knows what she wants and whats best for her. What are you afraid of, do you think if you let her out of your reach she may find something better. get real and remember shes your wife not your kid

She should be happy. Whether she's working or if she's staying at home. I feel that its hard on those women who want to work but have to stay at home, and its hard on those women who want to stay at home but have to work. Either way if your wife is unhappy, how can you be happy in this relationship. Let her work, share the household chores and kids' work with her and don't control her. Work is not about money always, its about self confidence, feeling that you have a purpose in soceity and that you're just not going to be an old hag when the kids leave and the husband leaves. Besides the extra money can be used for the college fund for the kids or just as investment money for both of you. Let her work if she's happy about it. You wouldn't like it if she got a high paying job tomorrow and told you that YOU have to stay at home.

No, my husband does not want me to work either. But he agreed that I can find a part time job. I have my bachelors degree and we do not have kids! He is just old fashioned and works so much that he deserves to have someone here to look after him.

That depends upon your reasons. Do you respect her? Are you jealous? Are you insecure that she'll be successful? How would you feel if she makes more than you do? Why do you even have an opinion? Is it your business to be a decision maker on this?
You need to answer these questions and you will find out the answer yourself.

not misogynistic because I don't think it is outta hate for/of women. It is more gallant and chivalrous. Men feel important when they are the money makers -- just don't belittle the job she DOES do at home.

You should have talked to her before marrying. Now that you are married to a working woman, she cannot be forced to quit her job all of a sudden. Both of you should talk & come to a decission.

If I had a husband that told me I didn't have to work, I would quit my job. He'd only have to tell me that one time. People can think whatever they want, it's what him and I know that would matter.
