I asked this question a month ago, but I was just wondering about a few more opinions out there on this topic. If you already saw this question last month, please just disregard it.
Just curious, are there any women today who would enjoy being taken care of by their man?
Assuming they don't have any kids ..And assuming that he's not a control freak or anything like that. ... Are there any women who like it when their live-in-boyfriend/husband takes good care of them financially so that she doesn't have to work? That way she can wake up each day and do things she likes to do with her day, and she's happy to see him when he comes home to her each day. Of course she can go out each day and do whatever she wants.
( Assuming of course that they are in love ), are there any women out there like that today, where she doesn't work because she is generously taken care of by her man?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

It's something that I think almost all women (except those who have an extremely strong sense of independence), want.
It's something that I personally have always dreamed about. Though only difference between your scenario and mine is I would want to have children. A family is the biggest part of my dream, and being able to stay home and be the best mother I possibly can has always been a goal of mine.
In today's world, however, (and quite sadly), it's very rare that this is a possibility (though if things work out with my boyfriend it's a real possibility for me). Living expenses are so entirely expensive that the husband would have to make A LOT of money to keep him and his spouse comfortable. And he would have to make even more if they had children.
However, yes, I love it when I'm taken care of. I love being brought out to eat, and I love it when he comes home to me. Makes me smile. I'm not a material girl in the slightest. I don't need "things". I just love that someone is there that cares so much that he WANTS to take care of me.
I think that's the real question. What women are more independent and what women like the feeling of being cared for and loved so much that they are the reason their husband goes to work everyday.

Hmmm.. I think many women who don't want to be "taken care of" simply want to maintain their independence. For example, a woman without a career who has been supported for financially for a long time would have trouble leaving a relationship if it were to go awry.
That and many women want to work and have careers. Some women, not all, find the home life not as stimulating as outside interests and their careers and education.
Personally, I have a great boyfriend, and we live together. We split things almost equally (financially speaking) except for rent, because his income is higher and he agreed to pay more rent each month than I do. I'm focusing on financial stuff because I think that's what you are talking about. There is more to being "taken care of" than being financially supportive. You also need to take care of each other's emotional needs.

I'm sure there are. I don't know whether I'm one of them. I was off sick from work for 3 years. I could have gone back to work but my husband convinced me to take an extra 12 months and he just loved it. I thought I did too but I was itching to get back to work after the 12 months. I think I was afraid of turning into my Mother who didn't work after I was born. I think my parents have fallen out of love with each other and she has become so dependant on my Father, she can't leave or do anything different with her life. I think that a large portion of women of my generation feel like that. Because if I won some lottery in the morning, I'd gladly give up work and stay at home or do whatever I wanted so it's definitely the dependancy thing.

I'm sure there're plenty of women who would like to be taken care of.
And I'm one of them too. In a perfect world there's nothing I would want more than being a housewife, staying home with the kids, and doing nothing else. This is just how nature has made women. But in the real world, it's difficult. What if you decide to quit your job to stay home. Then one day the husband leaves you for somebody else. And if you've stayed home for so many years then you don't have a job to fall back to. That would be my only concern. I'm not trying to be negative but trying to be as realistic as possible. I've seen too many housewives that have no career to fall back to, and it's a sad thing.
I think the issue isn't whether or not the woman would like to be taken care of. I think the important issue here is whether your wife to be will stay home by choice (she's got all the options in the world but she chooses to be your wife and to stay home because she loves you) or will she do it because she needs to (because they know that they couldn't make it on their own financially). I've known of the ones that stay home because they need to, and those probably won't end up happy.

In some countries, most women like being taken care of by their man.
I've spent some time in Thailand. And that has been my impression about male/female relationships there.
But having this kind of unequal relationship is no guarantee that the relationship will always go well. A good example of such relationships going bad is when rich men marry relatively poor women. Donald Trump married such a woman (Ivana). And eventually they had problems, and they got divorced.

Yes that would be an ideal existence and really sweet of a guy to cherish and provide for his girl!! it sounds ideal :o)
but i have been in a situation similiar to the one you describe but boredom soon set in, i drew self worth and dignity from having a career and from being financially independent...
i still loved to see my guy when i returned from work and felt that i was making a good contribution to our marraige and our relationship...
my guy was generous and treated me with great respect and bestowed me with beautiful gifts and surprizes which i accepted graciously BUT days are long and there is only so much a girl can do in a day before boredom sets in...
so i think in terms of self-respect and quality of life - having a carreer, financial stability and a good man are the best keys to happiness...

I think there are still some women out there like that. I wouldn't mind it..but at the same time I'd feel guilty if I wasn't contributing...but at the same time she should take care of you...you work all day and bring home the salary..she should make sure your home is clean and that your well fed and the bills are paid. Its a give and take..

I think it is rediculous and lazy for a woman not to work if they don't having any kids. I am a stay at home mom and I always worked before we had kids'. As soon as my last one is in school full time I plan on working, I don't want to be though of or feel like a kept woman. I want to do my share in our relationship.

looking after somebody financially whilst they're completely able to working themselves is turning them right into a possession or homestead puppy. Love could be so fleeting, so non everlasting. in case you artwork and the girl financially relies upon on you, what happens whilst she does something you do not approve of? Do you threaten to eliminate the money or the flaws that your funds offered? What happens in case you come to a sort you now not love her and you have chanced on yet another which you're feeling which you like? Having administration of each and every of the money or earning each and every of the money capacity having administration of the guy. somewhat, shelter another by loving one yet another unconditionally; opt for for the different what they opt for for themselves. enable one yet another financial independence. That way, every day you will opt for to be at the same time, somewhat of feeling caught because of the fact considered one of you relies upon on the different.

yep, lots of women would like this, but its unrealistic as people are not payed enough in todays society to support a man and a women on just one pay-roll, although some people enjoy working.
