Topic: Why do some rich men deprive wife from working? (Read 335 times)

I think part of being really rich is having a partner that doesn’t need to work. This way they are free to spend their time working on making their house a home, or helping care for their family. A spouse that is working has less time for their family and for a rich man that could be seen as a large negative compared to a non-working wife.

In my opinion, there are only two vital reasons that can make a wealthy man deprive his wife from working :1, they want there wife sit back and take maximum care of there home. Taking care of the children, house chores and
all that. Secondly 2, they don't want there wife to be sexually harasses by other man,they feel insecure by letting there wife go out all in the name of work why they already have everything it takes to take care of her. Therefore any wealthy man that declain is wife from working is not far from this two reasons thank you.

there are cultures where women really cannot practice everyday life like a normal human being also due to their religion, so it is not just about rich and wealthy people who want the woman to stay at home but also about people who are blinded by something that has been imposed on them

 Some men don't allow their wives to work because they prefer to have them stay at home. However, I believe that a woman's decision to stay at home should be entirely her choice.

The positive aspect of a man wanting the wife to stay at home is that he cares about her well-being. He acknowledges that childbearing and motherhood are full-time jobs that require dedication and support. In this scenario, the husband supports his wife's decision, providing her with the necessary resources and financial access. She is empowered to manage the household finances effectively. This way, she is not left stranded or vulnerable in case anything happens to her husband.

On the other hand, there's a negative scenario where a man's decision to have his wife stay at home stems from possessiveness or insecurity. For instance, he might be uncomfortable with the idea of his wife interacting with others, especially if she's attractive. He might fear that she'll be harassed or pursued by other men. In this cases, the man's decision to keep his wife at home is rooted in his own insecurities, rather than a genuine concern for her well-being.

Unfortunately, this often means that the woman has limited access to financial resources and is entirely dependent on her husband for survival. She may not even have control over her own finances or know how to manage the household expenses. This can leave her vulnerable and stranded if anything happens to her husband.

Whether a woman chooses to work outside the home or stay at home, it should be her decision to make and she should have the necessary support and resources to thrive in her chosen path.

This topic is a very educative one in this regard so that we will have several opinion concerning this issue because a lot of men that does that have one or two reason why they want it that way, though this is not common in everywhere round the world because there are countries that husband and wife shares the same bills, so the husband has no right to stop her from working since she is taking care of almost 50% of her needs, while in those countries that men has all the responsibility of 100% of his wife needs and children, such person can dictate a lot on the things they should do and not do, so actually the living style of such places are the reason why it can be possible but if only the woman was independent before married the husband may not subject her anyways he likes.

Some parents don't have time to even interact with their children even during the weekends. They don't know what these kids are going through in school or at home. I Have a friend whose child was engaging in drug abuse but he didn't know until the child became hooked up to drugs. The child has been showing signs not drug use but nobody was observant enough to identify it. Sometimes I wonder why people focus so much on providing the physical needs of children while they neglect their emotional needs. I repeat that my wife will stay at home if I have the necessary financial backup.

Traditionally husbands are supposed to go out and work while wives will stay home and take care of the children, also to manage the affairs of the home. I need to categorically say here that being a full time housewife is not an easy task, except she has servants to do house chores for her, otherwise it's a lot of work, and they don't get paid. If I'm very rich and I have enough investment to cater for my family if I'm no more, I will not encourage my wife to work. She will have enough work running my home, besides I believe that most men wouldn't like their wives to be working for somebody else. 

Times have changed and it's no longer easy for many men to cater for the financial needs of their families alone which necessitates wives to also work and support their families. Another reason is that many women are now showing the capacity to work and I believe that they should also be given a chance to also work like men. Although where a husband and wife are both working, if the children are not put in the care of good people, they might turn out to be nuisances to the family and society at large.

If the woman is taking care of the home they're working already,  isn't a must they go out there to do a 9-5 job, Many big men that I know stopped their wife when the job they're doing is taking almost all their wife's time and can't take care of family and kids, whereas the salary isn't big, So some big men who realized this and can afford to pay their wife's Salary comfortably to have them take care of their home tend to do this. However, I don't buy the idea of those that do not allow their wife to engage in opening or operating a business of theirs.

It's depressing. She shouldn't be so happy. It's depressing how happy she is. I gotta find her a job.

It is rather a cultural thing. Some cultures see as ideal to have women always at disposition of their children, so she can take care of them and provide love and comfort, you know, so children won't grow up alone with the lack of love from both of them parents.
Also, sudden death of the father should not be a problem, because if he was rich enough to allow his woman to stay home and take care for the children, then it is probable he also would leave a good heritache behind for the woman to fence for herself while she finds a new partner or a job.

In my personal point of view, it should be up to both the man and the woman how their roles are distributed under the same household, if both of them are okey with it, then it is no a problem.

To be honest here, rich men knows themselves, they knows that they can get any woman of their choice wether married or not, and most times it's because of the married woman in question is out there trying to make a living, but these Rich men believe that if they are always at home doing the house chores, the rich guys wouldn't even have access to see them, talkless of talking to them and even possibly sleeping with them, so this rich guys always feels like they might do to their wives what they themselves are doing to most  poor people's wife.

Then on the aspect of if anything bad happens to the man, how are they going to survive, this is just one of the disadvantages when the woman is not doing anything, but in my own opinion, right now, it's very wrong for the load of all the financial responsibility to rest on the man, that alone can send him to his early grave, because too much pressure kills.

 I think some men do this not with an intention to make the wife seem like her only use is to take care of the home and kids but to actually have time for herself. Because even though as a stay at home mom, there's a lot of jobs out there they can do remotely but these husbands stipulate that they should not work because they feel they can provide all their wives' need and it's not because it's out of pride, but for love's sake.

Usually men would want their wife to work either because there is some financial crisis or if the wife is herself willing to work, then let her work. Otherwise a person who is financial independent would never want her wife to work. He can provide everything to her and keep her save in his home. What else a girl need?

Also the wife who is the mother also, should give maximum time to her children as no other person can care for her child except her. I have seen rich families ladies working and sending child to day care  and doing job only to avoid the housework 

This is everyone's business, every family has its own rules.

I can sense the deep-rooted patriarchy in the above posts. First of all your wife is not your infant child or tabula rasa who needs some fundamental programming. She is a human being just like you with equal potential if not more. Do not use the word, 'allow' it kind of serves as a symbol of the relationship between lord and slave. In the past having more women denoted more prestige usually women were taken forcefully after war. This is so deep-rooted that the concept of a trophy wife is still cherished.
Your wife (partner) has the same needs for achievement, affiliation, and assimilation and if that makes you feel insecure let it be because nothing is more important than seeing your loved one develop and achieve her/his full potential.   
You do not need a dumb partner. Most of the time you have to invest time and energy in a partner just like you would have with a student. If You have not invested enough in your partner (time and wisdom not money) in the early years of marriage/relationship believe me you will never feel satisfied in that relationship. Both of you will become dishonest and lose respect for each other which will eventually lead to a midlife relationship crisis where at best your relationship will be in survival mode instead of thriving mode.
Note- This goes both ways.

That is the traditional wife that even in the old ages used to be. If I am that filthy rich, I would also do the same not to let my wife work. But if she insists and wants to work or do some business, I'd allow her as long as she's taking care of the family while both of us are providing for our needs. There are independent women that when they met the love of their lives, they're used to working and have their own money.

They are not reliant to the money of their husbands and that's why they are the ones that keeps on working for. So, either of the two, it's not a problem at all when the husbands aren't allowing the wives to work for themselves when they're being sustained and given allowance for all of the provisions that they need even for shopping.

I think in some cultures women are seen as home makers & Mothers. They are banned from doing many things that we see as normal for Western women. In my opinion a woman should be able to live her life the way she wants. In a loving, trustworthy relationship a woman should be allowed to work & build herself a career if she wants to. Obviously if a woman is with a rich man & wishes not to work that’s fine too, if he supports that.

Well, if a guy earns well, then why not? But you can't forbid it, it's wrong. Maybe a woman wants to grow and develop, not stay at home and do the laundry.

They already has money so stopping them will not even harm them will not even do harm ,the husband already has enough money,so the man see it as stress,and also thinking other wise maybe his wife will cheat on him ,for that he has to stop his wife work ,so he can see her every time

Children needs proper attention from parents when they are young, when a child is not brought up well by parents maybe because of work activities of parents it normally affects the children. In most cases the reason why men even allow their wife tp do something is because of they Nedd support just to reduce the load of too much responsibility.  Most men who are doing very well financially , who can take care of the responsibility with ease would prefer their wife to stay home and take care of the kids. Kids who are trained by their parents , their is a big difference when a nanny is employed to look after them.
