    I dont know what to tell her....we will have kids in maybe one year. So she can take care of them better if she isnt working.

    Maybe i should get her making galleries or some shit to keep her busy....lol
    jokes



    She can go shopping or some shit with her friends each day.

    If she was going to be doing any work..id rather it was just for us....maybe she can start another little store or something.


    i need her here for gochew baggie
    If you are going to have kids remember, being a mother first is the most important job there is.

      Haha this thread is funny on so many levels but I guess I understand the culture shes coming from. Western girls or Asian girls born here wouldn't even ask you for their permission or opinion.

      I'm surprised though that her parents were cool with her marrying someone thats not korean, heck in college korean girls wouldn't date you at ALL unless you were korean.

          It sounds to me like she needs an outlet for her creativity and energy... maybe she could take an art or cooking class... or as mentioned earlier do some volunteer work.

          Everyone needs to have a sense of purpose, it makes life more meaningful.

            Brad, Brad, Brad....have you learned nothing yet, from the teachings of Timbo san? Let her do what she wants. Eventually, she will anyway.

                  she should get a part time job. Working people are more interesting than stay at home wives

                    I personally don't have a problem with the 'permission' bit. Whatever works for you two is what works.

                    As someone who was denied getting a job many years ago, I will say that denying someone that can be dangerous. It eventually led to the downfall of my marriage.

                    The cirumstances were kind of similiar; it wasn't necessary for me to work, and we had no children at the time. But it can put someone in a...funny...space to not having anything they can truly call their own. Not money, not sense of self, not the roof over their head.

                    You seem to be a guy like my ex who would say that everything you have is hers. But if she doesn't feel that...
                    if she doesn't feel a sense of purpose and have the mental...dignity? (I can't think of the word I want), then what you saying it is hers doesn't matter at all.

                    I'd let her, where I you. Or, if not, as Timbo said, she may eventually do it anyway.

                      You know..i read all the posts...and i was about to agree with you.
                      then she came home..and i sat her down and said..i just want you to be happy..so if you want to get a day job doing whatever...you should go do it.


                      she doesnt want a job..who would..lol

                              I agree with Elli, at the least encourage her to volunteer.

                                well i guess you should allow her on what she wants to do...since you don't have kids yet, i think she have to enjoy first her life without kids..

                                  I would introduce her to Mr Fist and tell her she can ask him any questions she wants about going outside of the house, but she has to be prepared for the answer(s).

                                    So you need to be with someone who is essentially subservient to you?

                                      I can't say i have experience with women outside of north america but still, doesn't everyone have dreams of achieving something besides taking care of someone?

                                        What do you mean "should i"? If she wants to should be able to, you should stfu and let her do what she wants.

                                            Control = when she realises you like her more than she likes you.

                                            How long as she been in Canada?

                                              Get that hoe out on the streets earning some green!
                                              jokes!

                                              Seriously, if she likes the whole web thing, make her an e-commerce site.

                                              This reminds me of one of my mates mom. His dads the real bread winner, but since him and his brothers grew up she was a bit bored and so thought she may as well be productive with her time, but still needed to stay in the home. So she started doing those "card crafts things (assembling intricate cards - not recommended shit money)

                                              The she got into the e-commerce thing and now runs a pretty successful Ebay store. I think their last family holiday was 90% thanks to her online pass-time.

                                                      You have to come to GFY to ask this question

                                                      I am sure your wife would appricate you asking a bunch of school kids.

                                                        Oh c'mon are people really THAT insecure these days? First of all....if someone wants to cheat they are going to cheat...PERIOD....and they should not be with that person in the first place!

                                                        If you tie a person down and tell them what they can and can't do they will find a way to resent you and go behind your back even faster! I think he has the right idea in giving her suggestions......it sounds like they have a good give and take relationship on both ends.....

                                                                                    If she was going to be doing any work..id rather it was just for us....maybe she can start another little store or something.

                                                                                    So why is this question even on the forum?

                                                                                    You're a single human being. No more powerful than your wife.

                                                                                    Decisions like that are her choice. She can do what she wants.
