Sounds very Stepford Wives! These days I'd doubt that there are many households that could survive on just one salary especially when they have high mortgages and other outgoings
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right, the only difference is they're wrong
Our ridiculous neighbours Mork and Mindy appear to be doing this.
I suspect Mindy's reasoning is slightly different though - she's not pampering him, she's just plain idle. She's under 50, has no children, is very healthy, can't/won't cook so all their meals are from M&S, and she spends all day watching tv.
I am all for women having choices and choosing any life they want for themselves, though.
I've had a separate bank account during both of my marriages and have always worked outside of my home. My ex husband and I split the bills and expenses and that part of the marriage worked well for us.
The idea of asking anyone for my allowance would make me quite uncomfortable.
"Alena gets a monthly allowance for the food shop, along with a buffer for her to 'spend something on myself' so she's not always 'asking him for money'."
