yeah I just replied in the other thread on this. There are few men like that right now in the west than 20-30 years ago unfortunately. So marrying with a hope to be with such a man then being bitterly disappointed is what happens in most cases.
I my experience these women don't want to be tough but the life has made them tough, and they are usually much more savvy in financial decisions for family than many western men are! It becomes harder and harder for them to respect the decisions the man makes. They want to let go and let him handle it, but the trust disappears and they realize they can't let go and need to guide him like a child!
Like for example my young friend who came here 3 years ago on green card lottery has figured out how to build a credit history, her credit score is over 800. She is shocked when she meets men who don't understand hoe hard credit inquiries and credit card debt affects their score, and they don't know many other things she has figured out in how to navigate the system,, how not to get into student loan, credit card debts, how to advance your career, even how to find a doctor in the network, how to get SSI and Medicare for your parent. she often has to teach THEM stuff on how to handle finances. So unfortunately she is realizing it's very hard just to "let go" and trust the man to solve all problems, there aren't many men she can trust to take over unfortunately.
Recently a husband of a friend lost a coushy federal job and she was looking for a new job. She told him she has overheard a phone call with employer during which he was whining and complaining how he is sick, he was in emergency room over night and not feeling well, all in a whiny according to her voice all inappropriate for a job interview. Of course the company never called back this is an example of what leads a woman to not let go and trust him to handle things.
