“Finding a life “partner” is not the same thing as finding a life boss”–indeed, many women do seem to think of husbands as EMPLOYEES. Some women are enlightened employers, offering employee benefits such as frequent sex, a sympathetic ear, and occasionally allowing the husband to actually spend money on something HE cares about. Others are regular Simon Legrees.
There are a few women who view the husband’s life as being valuable in its own right and not just an accessory to their own, but they are rare. The best that the average man is going to be able to do is to get one of the “enlightened employer” type. But always remember that her treatment of you will be entirely dependent on meeting her needs, for income and status, for example, and if you don’t meet these, then today’s enlightened employer will turn into tomorrow’s Simon Legree.
