I'm not married yet, but I really want to be 😂 With a good husband, a million problems would be solved right away – support, a strong shoulder to lean on, and finances. I would rent out my own place, and that would provide another source of income. But my friends who are married regret getting married. Their husbands don't give them money. One woman's husband even takes her benefits, giving her only enough for one pack of pads, nails, and eyelashes. They can't buy clothes for themselves. Even though their husbands have their own apartments, cars, and leisure activities. They don't even give money for dental work. Like, "it's expensive, maybe later when the child grows up and you go back to work, then you can fix your teeth"... They're trying to dissuade me from marriage, saying it's all really bad. But they entered marriage without a financial cushion, one even with debts and without her own place. Their husbands don't register them in their apartments; they live in their parents' homes. Is marriage really that bad? Why don't they get divorced if they're unhappy with their partners? Have all men become greedy? My grandfathers, father, and brother always provided for their families, and there were no problems. But the women weren't freeloaders either, except maybe when on maternity leave. Are all men stingy now? The fact that one and the other say they'll give money for formula and diapers, but not for dental work or a winter jacket. They say, "you're at home on maternity leave anyway, nobody sees you." One friend even suffers from toothaches periodically. But her husband has money for going out with friends, fast food, and leisure.
Is 5.08 a lot?

It varies everywhere, both of my friends are financially supported in their marriages (which is fortunate), but there are other aspects...

I don't know... everyone around me has great husbands...
My husband is ready to give me his last pair of underwear... he fulfills any whim/desire/wish... without asking.

I don't ask my partner for anything. Sometimes I just show him things I like online. He can take a screenshot or save a note for himself, and then gift it to me.

In general, you should earn your own money for your wants and needs, rather than expecting your partner to buy and provide everything.

I don't know about others, but I have a great husband. My sister does too. Dad always did everything for Mom and us. Mom barely worked her whole life. My sister is on maternity leave now and provided for, and I haven't been working since January.

It's like they're married to Pokémon. My husband and I have been together for 13 years, and we've acquired everything together during our marriage; we worked together. I was on maternity leave for 1.8 years the first time, went back to work, and then went on a second maternity leave for 2 years after 9 months. I never had issues with my husband not giving me money while I was on leave. On the contrary, my husband gives me 80% of his earnings. My salary is the same as my husband's, and now it's even higher. I handle all planned payments for the month and set aside savings. My husband keeps money for gas and spare parts. If he needs something big, I transfer it from my account to his. I also don't believe in putting things off, like saying 'your dental work can wait.' We save together, work together, and spend together if necessary, without depriving anyone. My savings accounts earn more interest because there's more money flowing through them (I'm like the treasurer of our household, so to speak), which is why all our savings are with me. If my husband had pulled the stunt you're describing while I was on leave, I would have seriously questioned if I had chosen the right man.

And I believe that for our own safety, a woman should always have her own income, always. A man might be here today (even the most reliable one, it seems), but gone tomorrow. He could leave for someone else, or something could happen to him (an accident).
Having a good man by your side is wonderful, but no matter what, we must be able to support ourselves.
Good men do exist; you just need to choose wisely and pay attention to the little things in communication and behavior from the start.
May you find a worthy man 👍

My family and those around me are all sensible… We've been together for 12 years, and during that time, I've worked a total of about 3 years. By default, everything is shared between us, without any "mine/yours." I think that's what family is all about, not just a stamp calculating who contributed what.

Mama♡ocharovatelnoy dochki♡ I wouldn't say fillings are a 'want'... especially since the kids took a toll on my health. Her kids, not just hers alone
