I had issues with being supported personally. When my husband & I first got married I couldn't find a job. I had a hard time getting motivated to clean house or do laundry. I was miserable most of the time & had to go on antidepressants. I also have a very bad shopping bug, but I hated to ask my hubby to spend his hard earned money on me. My parents are loaded so as a kid if I followed the rules I could have whatever they deamed okay. Well I wanted to be my own person so I started working early so I could do my own things. When I got married & didn't work I felt like I couldn't buy anything because I didn't earn the money. It really made me feel worthless. I feel worthless more times than not, but that's a different story. It might be different if we had kids, but to sit on my a** all day watching t.v. & then expecting my hubby to take me shopping was not something I was comfortable with. I did substitute teach which made me terrified of having children & did help some & gave me a bit of spending money. I like helping with the expenses, but if I had children it might be a different story. however I'm not sure I could stay at home all day without some social contact either.
