________________

A new study suggests that an increasing number of men today are finding it difficult to deal with busy, successful wives. Here’s taking a closer look at the Mars versus Venus situation.

When a recent book suggested that women should step out of their leadership positions, all hell broke loose in the West. Now, a survey reveals even more disturbing facts about how men feel about their successful spouses — intimidated and also disappointed with their performance as homemakers and mothers!

Says relationship expert Seema Hingorrany, “When women become more successful than their husbands, many a times it hurts the male ego and this takes a toll on their marriage. The problem solely lies in the fact that men are not accustomed to staying with women who are professionally more superior than them.”

So, do husbands of flourishing women cheat because they cannot tolerate the fact that their wives receive more accolades than them? Or does the male ego find it hard to believe that their wives are actually doing better than them?

Insecurity plays a big role

Says Minoti Panda, 36-year-old advertising professional, “My husband and I often have arguments on how I should stay back at home to look after my five-year-old daughter. I keep telling him that she is grown up enough to complete her homework and be on her own until we get back in the evening, but he does not seem to understand the fact.” Men often tend to get threatened when their wives earn more than them, and that’s why they prefer they stay at home.

Men prefer women with fixed working hours

Men often look out for women who can spend quality time at home and take care of the kids. Adds Hingorrany, “Men prefer women with ‘safe professions’ such as that of a teacher or a librarian, or those with fixed working hours so that the women spend more time at home.”

Male ego a big issue

Most psychologists believe that the male ego is responsible for this behaviour in men. Author Lynda La Plante and husband Richard La Plante separated after 18 years of their marriage. Richard was quoted by a website as saying, “Lot of men think that it’s great to have a wife who earns a lot of money. But living with a woman who is apparently mor ways to be a supportive husband.

Though there are many men who find successful women intimidating, there are some who are very supportive of the fact that their wives are earning and doing well in their lives. Here are a couple of ways to be a supportive husband and encourage your wife.

One must remember that respect is understanding. You must understand that your wife is an independent woman and has a mind of her own. Respecting the decisions that she takes about her life and career will be good for your relationship as well.

Be open about your feelings to her. In case you feel insecure about something, you must share with her. Being honest with each other ensures that you build a healthy marriage.

Be there for her in endeavors. This will make her trust you and make her feel safe and will also strengthen your marriage.

I think they smoked too much of their own crap, that’s my thought.
‘Threatened by successful wives’ How the f~~~ do they mean?
If the successful wife is a total bitch who’s threatening him with divorce if he doesn’t worship her sure I’d think he’s warranted in feeling threatened. And how often does that happen?

Don't let them Blame, Shame or Tame you!
Give 'em NOTHING, not even an answer!

Yeah is all men foult becouse of our huge ego.

1) married men with “successfull” womin cheat BECAUSE HE AINT GETTING ANY SEX.

2) why she doesn’t want sex:
– couse a men less powerful than her don’t turn her on.
– couse she is tired from taking Chad c~~~ in every hole every time she has a chance.
– couse after she makes more money she “need no men “. Except for chads every other week.

3) a five years old kid should not be let alone at home, you greedy, power obsessed whore.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Career women aren’t good mother, and men wants good mothers.

Another issue is that society are against stay-at-home mom AND dad

[BeerParticipant 11832]

I know one guy who married up and became a stay at home dad…he f~~~ing loves every minute of it. She’s raking in 200k+ a year and he has all day to f~~~ off and dabble with hobby things while she’s at work and the kids at school She let’s him go fishing on his quarter million dollar boat(that she paid for) on the weekends all the time, he goes on several hunting trips with the guys every year, and if she ever wants a divorce he’ll be walking away with a lot more than he earned so what does he care?

Threatened by successful women? LOL! Broke women are 1000x the threat.

Now, THIS, this I could do.

Career women are f~~~ing horrible, they dont spend a f~~~ing dime in the relationship. They dont cook, clean, laundry, and make horrible mothers, because their, “too tired from work.”

Always remember, more money she makes, the cheaper she is.

Btw, the new tradional women are, stayimg home, play on facebook, and hope their hubby is a slave.

Shit Tested, Cunt Approved.

If only wives would follow that advice when dealing with their husbands instead of trying to control and emasculate them. Yet another article blaming men. I wish I could say the hypocrisy was shocking rather than expected.

Women and the state are a threat to men. Rich, poor, pretty, ugly, I’m done with women.

speaking from experience, the threat from more successful wives comes from the wife’s ability to move on after divorce financially, and the stay at home/lower income husband dad is unemployed, no current job skills and no assets. More galling are the mandatory child support and alimony payments from a low earning man to a higher earning woman.

I made $39,000 as a teacher. I now pay a mandatory 20% of gross pay to a c~~~ who earns $150,000 a year. I pay $470 every f~~~ing month to the c~~~, she makes $12,500 gross a month. My net pay every month was $1300… times 12 is $15,560. her net pay is $9500 a month. Paying her is like having another car payment for a car I’ll never see or drive.

I was making $32,000, and was smacked with a 28% CS order 2 kids, plus retroactive payments… $850 a month. I could not afford rent, and I became homeless, living in a tent for 5 months while finishing up the school year and looking for a new job.

Thanks Judge F~~~wit.

Does she have any attractive successful female friends? I could get used to this…

[ForeverDoneParticipant 2928]

My ex-wife made 20k more than me a year, granted I had more assets, however, she still made nice change. Where it went, no one knows.. It’s a rarity to have a more successful woman than a man. Usually, if the wife is very successful in her career, the man is even more. Why? Simple. She’d want to upgrade to someone else who can provide for her. Simple hypergamy. It’s in a female’s nature.

If he’s “threatened” by her in any way then she is a failure as a wife, not a success.

[AttonParticipant]

S~~~ said by no man ever I totally scared of my wife.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

[NoMoreParticipant 1233]

It’s all a fog of terms wielded by one side to malign the other. Husband works a lot, wife asks him to spend more time with the family. He is too career oriented and sacrifices his family for his job. Wife works a lot, husband asks her to spend more time with the family. He is threatened by her success and trying to hold her back.

It’s all about who controls the narrative. I know many men who have backed off on their jobs to care for the family and let their wife be the primary worker. None of them feel threatened by their wives working and earning more than them. One gets to spend more time with their foster son and help him adjust. The other gets to teach their daughter more about photography, and he takes some amazing time lapse astronomy photos.

A co-worker recently told me, "If you want to see who someone really is, divorce them." I have found out how true this is. When your wife drops the façade of being the caring partner, you will witness all of the greed, hate, and spite that she has masked. It is truly breathtaking!

[TicParticipant 4329]

they’re just not going to stop with this bulls~~~, are they.

There always has to be an excuse at the detriment of men.

Men are cowards

Men are lazy

Men are scared

men are insecure

Men are not loyal

Men are little boys.

The shaming will never stop. Yet, they will NEVER address any of the thousand faults with women.

Unfortunate but amusing, because shaming doesn’t work with a MGHOW.

God bless peace and freedom.

I love the fact that they answer the question by not asking a single man. They just assume it’s a male ego thing.

Could it be because he married this kind of woman and she turned into something else?

Could it be because that time spent at work means less time with him and the kids?

Could it be because her increase in success has caused her to respect her husband less?

Could it be because she is showing signs of leaving the marriage?

No way, it’s got to be the male ego.

From my experience, women that are more successful tend to have successful male orbiters, and she wants you to be just like them (or be replaced with one of them). I’m not interested.

And honestly, it’s not just her success, but her access to money. If she has well off friends or family, that what you do for her is deemed ‘not good enough’. Just not worth it.

Ok. Then do it.

[HermitParticipant 1121]

A woman who makes more money than her man will ultimately hold him in contempt. There might be a few exceptions to this rule, but not many.

I don't hate women. I just feel better when they're not around.
