This week topic will tackle the subject of “Who Wears the Pants” in the relationship. We pose this question in the sense of, does being the bread winner put you in the ‘decision maker’ role? If a blue collar husband is married to a corporate wife, is his voice not heard as much? Not sure if everyone saw the Tyler Perry Movie “The Family that Preys”,now there was a scene where Sanaa Lathan character tells her husband that he had no right to touch HER money, now of course she talked down to him cause he is the blue collar worker who had not earned no where close to the money she made but when your married, wouldn’t it be considered OUR money?

Mel: There is never a day in the life where a woman runs the household. She can be the bread winner, but she will not run the household.

Dee: I think that before the relationship gets to a certain point it is already determined who wears the pants in the relationship. When they get married, it should not change. However, that’s the perfect world. It shouldn’t matter whether or not they are the bread winner for them to be the head of the house hold.

Deck: Personally, I make the money, I make the decision!

Dru: It should be an equal situation, it shouldn’t matter who makes the money.

Gsef: When it comes to money, it should be equal decision making (50/50). If we go by tradition, the man is the head of the household, period!
