Ask HN: Ok for a man to depend on his wife’s stable income to pursue indie dev?
- trifit 5y agoIf it’s okay with the wife then why not? No one else’s place to say really.
- manuelabeledo 5y agoThis is a really odd question. Outside of old fashioned gender roles, yes, it's perfectly fine as long as you both agree.
- bencorman 5y agoDon't ask the internet. Ask your wife.
- WheelsAtLarge 5y agoYup, make a plan and make sure she understands what you want to do and that she is ok with it. You have to live with her so it might as well be a happy time.
- h2odragon 5y agoYou might want to make some more formal agreement as to how long you have to take off and how much equity that buys them.
- high_byte 5y agoif she wasn't your wife already I would've told you she's marriage material!
- terran57 5y agoYes, it's perfectly fine for a man to use the wife's stable income to indie dev as long as both parties agree to it. I would discuss the plans and agree to some guidelines and metrics so that it's not open-ended.
- bradwood 5y agoGender has nothing to do with it.
- klhugo 5y agoHell yeah, why do you think I'm getting married? :P As long as there is mutual support, I'd not worry. I'd be proud to be supported by my future wife.
- hazza_n_dazza 5y agoYep, but maybe learn to cook so when they come home it's all good.
