Women with rich husbands looking down noses at others

@doeeyedstan Apologies, I understand now. You don't have to work because you're married to a rich man so you can spend what he earns through hard work and request that he puts all assets in your name. That's feminism right there 😀

@Hellodarknessmyfriend and he was not mega wealthy when we met. He was very highly educated as am I and he was in a good career path but he was firmly in the 'good income' bracket as was I. Not wealthy.

He put them in my name. It was better for tax planning. And no. I don't live off his money any more than the lesser earning partner lives off the higher income earner.

Do you feel a low earning part time working parent who is a part time SAHM only 'owns' the meagre money she makes and her high earning full time working dh owns the money he makes? Because that is what you are saying. That the person owns the money they earn. Frankly we have moved beyond this 1950s rhetoric.

@SouthLondonMum22 I couldn't agree more.

@doeeyedstan I disagree. So basically you married a rich man and live off him? How are all of the assets in your name?

I love my career. I worked hard to get to where I am and couldn’t imagine just throwing it all away.

Earning my own money is incredibly important to me. I don’t want to solely rely on anyone else financially.

Financially providing for my DC’s is also important to me. I don’t believe it should just be all on one parent.

I don't see it in real life but you see an awful lot of it on here. Next time there's a benefit bashing thread, have a little peek at some of the posters who contribute.

Shouldn’t look down their noses at all. However, if they are married it is their money too, not just their husbands

Nope. I stopped working about 30 years ago. All the earned money is from his earning. But it's our money.

@TwigletsAndRadishes His wealth massively contributed to his twat level. And others "fawned" all over him for it.

You weren't lonely and miserable because you were rich. You were lonely and miserable because you married a twat.

@doeeyedstan So you are both equally are wealthy with money you earned yourselves?

Like I said, the vast majority of assets are in my name 🤷🏻‍♀️no risk here

@doeeyedstan Not all rich men are bastards, not all less wealthy men are either. But the reality is a financial imbalance does put the wealthier partner in a potential position of control. I don't think this is always fully understood, often until it's too late.
Even if my husband was wealthy I absolutely would not risk/choose to give up my career.

For SOME posters, it makes them feel better to pretend you can only be miserable if you are more wealthy than they are.

People protest too much, if you are genuinely happy and thriving in your career, you don't really have time or energy to waste making sour comments about others. Happy people don't try to imagine misery in other people's life

Good plan to be financially stable. Pretty much everything is in my name so all good there.

Not read thread, but if marriage goes tits up I want to be financially independent. I don’t care what other people choose to do I know I’m going to be ok. I will make sure my daughter has the same priorities. That’s it

No one does. So why are people determined to believe that all rich men are bastards behind doors and poor ones are what? All lovely? So odd.

@doeeyedstan How on earth do you know what goes on behind closed doors?

I don't find people interesting when they have no obvious purpose in life - that doesn't have to mean going out to work, it could be bringing up their children, volunteering, pursuing a creative interest - but people who just go out to lunch, shop and have beauty treatments, spending money they haven't earned, are uninteresting.

Each to their own, they're not harming me and I wish them the best, but they're boring.

You don’t know for sure whether investments, selling previous successful businesses or inheritances have given them the money to choose stop working. You’re assuming men are funding it.

why else would they start and keep going a bitchy thread about women who they think live off their rich husband's money and go on and on about their alleged lack of financial independence and how they can be nothing but miserable inside?

You know nothing of the private and financial circumstances of people you bump into on the school run.

When people insults others, it says more about them than their target. It's jealousy and the need to make themselves feel better, what else would it be?
Who actually cares if another woman works or not?

Why are you so determined to believe women have to put up with shit? It's such a strange attitude. Like poor men are lovely and rich men are bastards. Where does that even come from. Most men I know are really lovely. Funny, loving, devoted to their wives and dc and work to create the best family life they can. And yes. They have lots of money and live in beautiful houses and have housekeepers and gardeners. 🤷🏻‍♀️
