How do you feel about traditional housewives?

I wish more women could be housewives. I enjoy being a kind, sweet encouraging wife. I get to take care of my family and protect them. I get to provide them things like a clean home, homemade meals and lots of love. I love it. I feel housewives get a bad rap.

When I was little, I always wanted to be a housewife. To me, that was what peace was.

Unfortunately, to be a housewife today in this age, the couple needs to be exceptionally financially secure, at least in the US. Capitalism has made the "traditional" family idea impossible.

Of course, having been married and having quite a few relationships where the man wanted to rely on me in all aspects, I don't think I can be a 'traditional housewife" anymore. Any trust that I will be looked after the way I need has been stripped away long ago and now I only trust myself to provide for myself.

@FoxyQueen I'm sorry you experienced that. I accidentally laughed and meant a more appropriate emoji. I completely trust my spouse. We are prepared in case something happens to him too. 🫂

@Promises I wish I had had a partner that I could trust. Sadly, I seem to only attract men only interested in themselves and their needs. 🤷‍♀ It's one of the reasons I'm single. No one has managed to step up and try to repair my broken trust.

It's all good. It's just sad no ine wants the best of me by giving me the best of them.

@LadyGrace i hope you find your person. ❤

@FoxyQueen Nope. I won't. Tried that since 2005, I'm too old now and nobody wants me hahaha, but I'm not sad about that. I do enjoy my time alone, but I wouldn't mind having a male best friend in a platonic way, to enjoy fellowship with, until God calls me home. Haven't been able to find that either. You are young yet and I pray that you will find your special person.

@LadyGrace I feel that. I occasionally try again, only to find that I am either not desirable or they aren't the one for me. So I go back into my hermit hole and exist lol

I doubt I will find that special someone.

@FoxyQueen I know what you mean and you know I have discovered that a good lady friend is even better cuz I have found most men are not genuine. Still only after one thing and if they can't do that then they're not interested, so good riddance. Hahaha

@LadyGrace And if it isn't that one thing, they just want a replacement for mama. 🙄 And then they wonder why women aren't interested in them lol

@FoxyQueen Exactly.
