I was daydreaming about my own death when I started thinking about things my wife will have to do if I were gone.

Of course she'll miss the obvious things, like my salary, my dick, my companionship, etc.

But then I started thinking about the practical things.

For instance, I did some maintenance on the car a couple weeks ago that the dealership wanted $400 to do.

Then yesterday I did a plumbing repair that would have probably cost another $400 if we called a plumber.

That's $800 bucks I saved us just in a couple weeks. And that's not even mentioning the fact that we don't hire landscapers because I do the lawn work, we don't hire pest control because I do it. As well as a bunch of little shit around the house that's always breaking and I'm fixing it.

And we never need tech support or extended warranties, whereas I think my wife would get duped into buying that shit because she can't fix anything.

No wonder chicks are frequently broke. Even the ones that make decent money.
 
My wife knows how screwed she is. Probably why she’s always on my ass about being healthy.

Just in my living room alone, I’ve built the end tables, entertainment center, blanket chest, as well as remodeling the living room with all the electrical work. All the landscaping and lawn care. About the only thing out of my wheelhouse is automotive repair.

Making decision on where to go out to eat
 
My wife will live on long after I’m gone,

That’s what I get for marrying a strong independent woman who makes good $$$..

That is why it’s my life’s goal to live as long as possible to destroy any dreams she may have of me being gone.

I’m in it for the long haul boys, wish me luck and Victory!
 
tbf if it came down to it she would've banged the dealership, plumber, landscapers and tech support to get all of that stuff for free (I know because my girl doesn't trust my DIY at all)
 
Value of a man has nothing to do with income.

A. Keeping his word
B. Staying humble
C. Being loyal

Sounds cliche but that's my top 3 .
And that's the reason that so many men have such a hard time marrying a woman that is a high earner.

Your list is 100 percent correct, but some men feel so threatened by a woman that makes more than them or makes enough to be independent. Men feel like they have to control them through finances.
 
My wife makes $135k a year at her job, so she'd be just fine in that regard. She would miss out on being with someone that cooks better than her... and does a lot of things around the house that she refuses to do.

Where would you be living (renting ) , driving, without her though. SoCal would be much different for you

that’s why I need to find an official career woman and settle my ass down for better living out here even though I can’t complain

You're not wrong. I would make it fine on my own (I make over six figures) but you're right. My quality of living being here in San Diego is much better with her income added in. Helps we don't have kids though.

Well basically my point is dual income changes the ball game. Even better when she makes more

It’s a struggle out here for single guys making 6 figures . Can’t do much
 
The value of a man is that (contrary to what some social media people would have you believe) you need a man to procreate.
 
"The true measure of a man is not his intelligence or how high he rises in this freak establishment. No, the true measure of a man is this: how quickly can he respond to the needs of others and how much of himself he can give."

I fixed and electric issue where the wire blew out underground. replaced the roof on the garage. fixed plumbing that broke under concrete. had to fix a section of retaining wall that fell. did all the maintenance on on the vehicles work as the pool boy and maintain 14 acres saved the dog out of the pool saved my wife's life all this year and she still thinks I'm not shit

I haven't been in that situation so I dont know how I would feel if my wife was the bread winner. But I can understand men not wanting to be in that situation too - its just nature or how things have always been - men are tbe providers and woman nurtures. You can have you're thoughts on wether that should be the.case or not but its the way things have been barring tbe outliers since start of human existence. Thus I can't speak against men that dont want a woman to earn more thsn them as its literally ingrained human nature. Recently though that has decreased so its perhaps changing but not yet.
