It works if the husband is a responsible person......I knew from before I got married to my husband that he wasn't someone I could ever trust with my life or my finances & he ended up proving me right after I had finally unmessed up the mess he initially got us into because I thought if I made him HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE, he would become the responsible person my mother said he would become when I didn't want to marry him in the first place. When I ended up in major depression after loosing my career (no where to hide from him anymore), he couldn't handle the medical bills or any thing else let alone take a stand on the spending. He was the nightmare I thought he was before I stupidly married him in the first place.

Yes, nice guys can be total jerks & not someone you really would want to marry no matter how nice they are.....there's more to marriage than NICE.....it's a partnership or it's NOTHING
