A Man should PAY ALL the Bills!

In this world of two-income required living, the need of common sense is at an all-time high. There is a choice and we all live by choice, like it or not! However, most of us do not live by reality. The reality is that things in life can be achieved with or without someone. I really think that this is not a conversation that needs statistical data to back any statement that I am about to make. I am sure that we all know rich people, poor people, and people who live well beyond their means and mental realization. A prime example of mental realization. Having the ability to assess any situation and acknowledging if that situation is good for you mentally or not. If we cannot agree on anything, we can agree that our mental being is the key to everything we do in life.

Point in case, the subject at hand. I have no problems paying all the bills in the house. However, there is an understanding that living within my paycheck has to be the law of the land. Let me explain! I really think this is where most women lack the mental realization and expectation, or they decide to do it all by themselves. Some of which use men to the point of them getting where they need to be financially, then act as if they have done it all by themselves (amen, walls and lights). However, I will speak for most sensible men who will not mind paying all of the bills. There is a trade to this luxury. There are two type of men that will have this mindset. The first one may be of high financial status, but the chances of him being faithful and wanting to stay in a monogamous relationship are very slim. A woman once told me she rather cry in Paris with a rich man, because she doesn't date broke men. This is a prime example of lack of mental realization in my opinion. The current state of material things may hold a person over for any period of time, but when the rubber meets the road, the mental health is a risk when trying to satisfy the heart with conditional things of no substance. An LV bag is nice, but staying by a sickbed and holding the hand of a love one is not the job for a "Louie". The second man who will not mind paying all the bills will have an expectation from his women. Making him a home is his primary expectation. Here is where most women get it twisted. Well, June Cleaver didn't complain is all I am saying. It is very unfortunate that some of these movements said it was ok for women to do this and do that, when there was not an understanding of women having one or the other. What do I mean? Someone has to clean the house and cook dinner! Yeah, I said it! Now if her expectation is that the man should pay all the bills and she wants to excel in her career at the same time, there is a problem in this. Who is going to take care of the house? A man is not in the fashion of creating another bill out of the necessity of comfort. This is not acceptable practice of mental realization. A man wanting to pay all the bills is not looking for a boardroom-woman. Now the argument will surface that there are women who can hold it down. I am not debating that. I am simply saying a woman cannot be successfully in two places at one one time.

So women need to understand simple concepts, which society has complicated for the sole reason of family destruction. The side arguments will continue to surface and my point will remain the same. The choice easily dictates the mental realization around the decision. Cry in Paris, or understand there is a choice of the boardroom or the kitchen. I am not talking slavery to women and there is more to my thoughts to this article. Being alone is always an option and no one should never be in a abusive situation of any form. There are programs that can help with exit plans. I am not promoting anyone to stay in a situation of any kind of abuse whatsoever! GET OUT!

The mental realization is your peace and how that is accomplished is based greatly on the decisions that are made with or without the people that surrounds the life. There are deeper avenues to walk down concerning this subject. However, most MEN don't mind paying all the bills. The problem lies with finding a woman with the proper mindset of understanding what a MAN is looking for in return. Most of men desires vary, but they are plainly the same when the filters are taken off. I don't promote dictatorship! I promote common sense by way of conversation and compromise. Women, take the time to talk to a man and have a REAL conversation about paying the bills. What is good for the buzzard, may not be good for the chicken, but talk and look for understanding. Leave those 50/50 African-Americans alone.
