The woman said she would become a stay-at-home mom if she got half of her husband’s business. People on Reddit and other websites talked a lot about her story. Let’s learn more about how they arrived at their unique marriage deal and how things might change between them in the future.
It’s been six years since I married my husband. We have two kids and one on the way. He told me that he wanted me to stay home and not work. That made me very upset, but he told me it was better for our family and kids because he can afford to live very well.
It took me a few weeks to decide to agree, but only if I could have half of his business. He had the most beautiful look on his face. He was shocked, but he said it was fine.
The more I stay at home, the less likely it is that I’ll be able to find a good job if we ever get a divorce. He was making more money every year, while I was getting less, so I wanted half of the company.
It wouldn’t matter if we never got divorced, but if we did, I would have to stay home and raise our kids so he wouldn’t have to worry and stress as much (he called it “less anxious” if he knew they were with me instead of strangers at daycare or with nannies).
Friends told me I was selfish when I told them. My best friend was mad at me and said I was gross. I’m a little surprised by this.”
