[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 667034, member: 1550"] It may be societal. I don't consider myself a feminist, although I do believe in equal rights for women. However, if a man wants to take care of me and open doors for me, I'm happy to let him. I may feel funny too, due to society, if I made a lot more than my male SO, but these things are OUR issues. And th ings are changing. Many men are stay at home dads these days. I found this out reading through the Dad's Divorce forums while Bart was going t hrough a divorce. In the younger set it is more accepted that the wife may make more money or all the money. Our generation did not feel that way and that's probably why it bothers you. To my way of looking at it, M. is such a kindhearted, hardworking and wise soul that carries his weight in how he loves you (that is priceless). I would happily have had a relationship with a man like M., undocumented and not wealthy, because of his heart. The only problem would have been, I can't speak Spanish ;) But for the right man, with a golden heart, I would have made sure I learned it. Copa, you are very lucky and so is he. You don't find too many good folks like the both of you. by the way, I'm so proud of your son!!! I feel like I know him and am so happy he is doing well. There is much hope for him in his new frame of mind! Kudos! [/QUOTE]
