I'm 100 percent in agreement with you not being a man’s property. And yes, marriage should be a partnership.

However, I believe you misunderstood what the podcaster was saying. For the longest time, women have done exactly what you are doing which put them in a precarious position.

Because men saw ALL women as their property after marriage. Therefore, being a full time housewife automatically placed women at the receiving end of the relationship.

Now with the little autonomy we have and the opportunities for financial freedom, women are breaking lose of these subjugation practices.

My concern is, women who choose to be housewives should do so for themselves and their vision and not out of social expectations.

Because where it gets annoying is when a woman intentionally stays a housewife and the marriage goes sideways, she comes out playing the victim in public. Claiming she sacrificed her career and future to be a housewife.

Humans change and things change in marriages. All full time housewives must understand that no matter how dependable their partners are, there will come a time when they won’t count on their partner.

Besides men are crying out on the financial burden on them. It's a different thing when a man is catering for only himself. As their financial responsibilities increases that burden gets frustrating. And that is when the housewife starts to regret her decisions and resent her husband for destroying her life.

I hope your case is different. Notwithstanding, everyone is entitled to do what keeps their home happy and stable. All the best!
