are you really willing to risk your future on your bf being a good guy forever? what if you get married and end up wanting a divorce? what if he’s injured and can no longer work? what if he dies? what if he gets fired?

Plus I could actually make money from that, and I’m interested in training dogs for either shows, sport, or maybe service dogs if there’s a doable process to get certified in that

I have no worries because I can work on my own time and focus on my own business. I have two degrees and plenty of experience in my field if I needed to go back, and that experience gives me skills I can use on my own. Plus I have two very supportive families now if, god forbid, he got seriously ill or injured.

that’s great you have a supportive family, but do you really genuinely think that any experience you have will matter if you don’t work in your degree field for. idk. 15 years? do you think your families will be comfortable supporting you indefinitely if you can’t find work? also i’m so confused - if you work outside the home you quite literally aren’t a stay at home mom 😭

Work from home, not outside the home. Working a regular job is just not sustainable for me. If I have the initial security of not needing a job, I can take my time and take more risks with my own business. Whether that’s art, dog training, starting up a small farm, something in video editing, etc. I want to work but on my own terms, from the comfort of my home. I also already have a hefty savings fund and retirement fund gaining interest. I think life is about taking calculated risks like that

Personally, I would sincerely regret waking up one day in my 70s and realize I never took the risks I wanted to take, and be left wondering what my life could’ve been like. I’m in an extremely healthy and secure relationship, have multiple, secure backup plans, and can work my ass off if needed. I don’t enjoy the safe route, and that’s okay if you do

okay so again if you’re generating your own income you’re not a stay at home mom. you’re a freelancer. you will have a business. am i missing something about why you commented on a post about being a sahm when you simply won’t be 😭😭

Not holding down a regular 9-5 and going at my own pace is effectively being a stay at home wife, in my opinion. We don’t want kids so my apologies for not clarifying on that. It’s arguably the same concept as SAHM/SAHW who generate income via social media. They’re still at home, but technically working, just in their own way.

It’s basically just doing my own thing and if I make money off of it, then hell yeah. I have hobbies and interests that are inherently profitable, so I’m not going to reject pay if it comes from those hobbies. But I’m also not engaging in those hobbies with the sole purpose of generating income, like I would in a regular job.

Im sorry but she's right... I couldn't depend on a man like that unless maybe we were married and it was written that he would owe me alimony in the case of divorce. I've heard of too many men convincing their partner not to work, then dropping her and refusing to pay her anything, even when they had kids together. Be safe out there
