Yes, I definitely don't want to be 100% financially dependent on my husband.

I'll make sure I still have money of my own. I want to be able to buy gifts for my husband that did not come from his own pocket. LOL! There's also a side of me that wants to keep my career. I just can't imagine being pregnant and going to the office.

And I really want to be hands on in taking care of my family. I could just imagine crush, my brother told me, when I have my SO na, I should make sure that I have the toothpaste in his toothbrush ready when he brushes his teeth, that type of alaga daw. I love doing those things

there's almost no pressure on women to "succeed"

their women just have to be well bred well trained to be good wives be very supportive of their husbands

Cathy's upbringing is like that

i don't expect her to find a cure for cancer or become a CEO

My family is extremely patriarchal. We look up to the men in our family. But the extreme side is if a man is weak, they get absolutely no respect.

My Lola (Dad's side) and my Mom stresses the importance of being a good wife. They have good marriages naman, so I guess it's true. Number 1 rule - don't be dominant!

Dont take this too personally.
