Should I consider quitting my job to become a trophy wife?

[peonylover]

i am having a xmas wedding... and my fiancee just dropped a bombshell. he wants me to give up my job and be a companion to his parents. In return, I will have unlimited access to a "generous monthly allowance"

Some background on me - I work in the advertising industry, but my real passion is finishing my novel, which I am trying to do for the past 6 years. So, in an ideal world, i would be jumping up and down in joy on hearing this proposal.. but I am not. Not loudly, anyway... I just am not very comfortable about this whole proposal....

Fiancee has aged (but mobile) parents who live with him (in his house, which he bought after years of working as a banker) and he wants me to stay at home and make sure they are not lonely. He is very frank about this. I am also sure he has said this because I have been lamenting forever about quitting my job and becoming a full time writer. A Win-win situation, in his own words.

If you have access to a nice income every month WITHOUT WORKING FOR IT, will you take it and give up your currently satisfying job to become a trophy wife?

They won't be mobile for long, and you'll be at their beck and call for years to come.
I'd think VERY carefully If I were you...

Are you kidding?

What???

He wants you to be a nursemaid, not a trophy wife. I would run a mile.

You wouldn't be a trophy wife you would be a full-time carer! No, no no.

Your fiance, you mean.

Good luck with the novel writing/storytelling.

This is clearly rubbish.

God no. If he wants a carer for his parents, he should hire one.

Is this the plot?
Will the DP end up under the patio?

Nice one moaning ;)

Run, run, run.

LOL...no.

If you had said my fiancée wants me o give up my job for a while so that I can finish my book and has told me he is willing to support me' I might be saying consider it but infant he is proposing he kind of employs you to care for his parents. Whilst they may need little care now this could change very quickly. You also might to like living with them and seeing them as frequently as you would have to. Tis a bit strange tbh

He is joking, right?

ha ha ha, don't give up the day job OP.

Shouldn't you just be moving in with your husband-to-be?

I wouldn't expect to start off married life living with in-laws - not a good sign.

What a good story.

I know a very good proofreader.

erm, no

don't do it.

that is all.

think of all the pissy, lavender smelling smalls you will end up having to wash

He's only marrying you so you can be a cross between a kept woman and he carer for some elderly people? Oh yes... HEAVY SARCASM ALERT.... I'd leap at that...

'but my real passion is finishing my novel, which I am trying to do for the past 6 years'

I know how you feel, I'm a slow reader myself.

Good grief no. You won't be a writer, you'll be a carer.
Were you planning on moving into his home where his parents live?
