Having pretty privileges and having the option to not work

This is kind of stupid, sorry. The real world doesn't work like this. All the women I know married to wealthy partners are themselves high earning. They met their partners before either of them because high earning and built their wealth together. They trade off for whose high earning by being the stable partner and letting the each other take a career risk that can lead to even better earnings in the future. If one of them decides to step back, they usually switch to a lower pace WFH job or something less stressful like a librarian.

It's not possible in America to be a one income household. That places an immense amount of stress on both the at home partner and the working partner. Its so unhealthy for a relationship. People who choose to be stay at home moms.in this day and age often have no other choice because daycare is too expensive and they don't have a career that allows them to work from home.

Also the men who choose to seek out women who want to be at home because they want that relationship dynamic are not the kind of men you want to marry. They do not respect women. Don't play these kind of weird games in your relationships. Marriage is hard enough as it is, it's only worth it if you're marrying your life partner, best friend and love of your life.
