Oh, please, believe me -- I didn't begin to list "everything" -- only the
high points.
Perhaps wives would feel more comfortable if we were to simply lower
self-esteem and marital conversation to the "everything I do is of value but
it's only what is expected of me and since it doesn't reap greenbacks I'm
not pulling my weight" perspective.
Actually, this entire discussion is a moot point for me -- my children are
largely grown; the finances are not a real issue between myself and my
husband.
And yet ..... it was not that long ago that this sort of double-standard of
justice or earning or worth or value was a fairly significant place in the
family's lives.
Perhaps, in that short space of time, things have coalesced significantly.
I hope so.
