Working wife , a good idea for me or hazardous one ?

Its been couple of years since my marriage. In this few years I have blessed by guru sahib with a cute lil son . 

With my not-so-much salary , and my mom a housewife , and an old weakened father on the brink of retirement , I am seriously beginning to wonder what to do ahead. 

My wife has completed her B.A (bachelor in arts), a degree traditionally believed to be of little value lol. It doesn't seem she's interested in pursuing higher education. She used to work in a shop before marriage as she hails from a rural , poor family. 

But she's passionate about one thing . Hairstyling and cosmetics . Infact, before she turned pregnant, she had a short training at local parlor , and from what I heard from her, even the owner lady of the parlor was very happy with her work, and often asking her to do more .

However my concern is Is hair-styling/salon a respectable job. I have my reservations against it, because it kind of intermingles or on boundaries  with other lesser respectable and shady areas like SPA (heard sex rackets happening there with 'special massage' lol ?) or bollywood celebrity make ups. yes the rotten t's into illicit sex and drugs.

I being a closeted guy , and my wife not knowing about my sexuality, am deeply concerned about her spoiling if she started going out. I don't know how justified my fears are, but considering I live in mumbai which is like london of UK (my approx analogy). 

Its like right now I feel I want my wife to earn and be my support or atleast be independent woman on her own. I asked her don't give me your salary, keep it to yourself ,just want her to be independent, but at the same time I fear her being spoiled or someone locally who thinks I am gay spoiling her intentionally. you never know. 

Please advice

Sat Sri Akal veer ji..

It is nice that you want your partner to be in independent and financially stable.. I am pretty sure she can get a decent office job with her BA degree... if not Managerial, at least Admin, Secretarial..

Hairstyle and cosmetics.. I would say 90% of the women like this stuff.. but having passion for this kind of stuff is not that helpful for a better career..

I am not here to criticize any profession but I feel she will have higher changes of growth (financially and confidence wise) if she gets into Office related jobs..

You know there are lot of other good options such as being a good tailor, a good tutor(work from home)

You are not going to spoil her in any way if you want her to do something on her own...It depends what kind of sangat we have around us..what we watch, read and many other factors for us to become a better person or worst..

I understand your concern about salon job.. You know the place around you and how it could effect you and your family.. 

So please choose wisely...and I would not vote for Salon job.. 

Your mind knows the right answer :) Listen to it..

Objectively, what's she like to look at? If you were hetero, what would you think of her if you saw her on the street?

Her intentions seem decent enough. To be able to pursue her interests and also contribute to the future well being and education of our little son , she does want a better education for him . 

When she was here for the first time, and we frequented a few posh places in the city, I remember her turning her head back as a muscular guy went . I mean Its these kind of fears I have. Otherwise I don't doubt her fidelity. 

If I were a hetero, its likely I would have still had my qualms, I will be brutally honest here the only reason I married a kudi from pind is because the urban girls are way too advanced and would have probably doubted my orientation or sense that something's off. This is something I even told my parents "I can't handle a shehari kudi because of how advanced they're " , yes even the sikh ones lol. But then again this is not a general rule. And contrary to this, a sikh married woman with 2 teen aged kids ELOPED with another guy, leaving the kids behind to husband and in-laws . How embarassing is that. The kind of shhtt happens here as well . 

I have seen at my own office, girls wearing really high clothes that would probably raised eyebrows just a decade back in india, but apparently its a new normal , perhaps even a status symbol that ur not a pendu gawar ! Sikhs are not immune to it

Actually I also want the same. But the thing is her degree certificate is still stuck at the uni. but her marksheets are with her. And she's not faking it because i saw her name on the uni site, we did a search once of student list lol

I was thinking if she could do some office related course and get into it. I mean it does sound more "respectable" . 

But at the same time, I have heard from many that the salon/hair-styling/cosmetic line is also good , esp if you manage to open your own.

Bro, that's fine and dandy, but you didn't answer the question. Is she attractive, average, or below?

Hmm.. yaa.. Office related job sounds respectful but lots of things happen in Offices too...  

Trust is the main key here...

Well, just hope she's loyal. Hopefully she's forgotten those times when you made life difficult for her. ??

Lol. She gave the family a tough time too. Latest drama was 2 weeks back. 

Anyways I am still divided on what she should do. And whether she will succeed.

    • Uncle, realistically are you gonna challenge it in real life? I could fully jhatka and eat a steak wearing Bana bilkul tere samne but on God you could do nothing about that 😂
    • Flintstone Saab, can't you type in one message? Or must you drop the full Godfather trilogy with every response, minimum 3 responses? 1) They don't jhatka cows at Hazur Sahib because it's in a country called "India", in a state called "Maharashtra" - and beef is strictly illegal there 2) I said a quote from Adi/Dasam Granth saying "you can't eat beef" - "protection of cows" could be Maharaj talking about defending them for Hindus, same reason we do Aarti-Aarta. If u reference a quote, u gotta say the context of the verse. Otherwise there are verses in SGGS Ji which seemingly tell you to convert to Islam; of course that's not what Maharaj is saying but without context many quotes from Baani seem misleading 3) Why does 90% of your "evidence" come from living people, like "the head of Taruna Dal" or "Baba Pala Singh" - very rarely (like less than 10%) of it is from the Gurus' direct words. Do you realise that these people are humans with flaws/bias? Maharaj ended the line of human Gurus for a reason 4) Funnily enough, even Budha Dal's maryada in the Sundar gutka does not ban beef. If individual Akaalis taboo it, that doesn't mean it's the actual hukam lol 5) You mention Naamdharis guarding cows but they are also vegetarians who do not carry a kirpan and say Guru Granth Sahib Ji is not a Guru - using them as an example is funny 😂   6) Bro who uses "diapers" and "mate" in the same sentence? 😂 Man really tried sounding like Andrew Tate with the British/American accent mix 7) So you're about 30 years old and still beefing strangers online? Brooooo where's your MOTHER, did Aunty Ji never shout you away from ur keyboard? "Oy Flentstone puttar, thalle aa hun, roti ban gyi!!!!" 8 ) Wait since you're some Uncle, how do you balance work life with ur keyboard warrior shift? Or do u just sit vailah at home, like unemployed? SERIOUS QUESTION: Is your account rank on this forum the only thing on your CV ?😂😂😂  9) Can you imagine Maharaj condoning you calling me names like "mughal"? You keep reading about these "heads of Taruna Dal" but you need to google "Guru Nanak Dev Ji's teachings on kindness and anger" instead - you're basically trying to solve degree level maths equations when you can't even understand "1 + 1 = 2"  (prediction - I bet he's gonna respond debating one little detail of this post like my joke about accents, but fully miss the bigger picture, or get upset again. He also will likely reference another "sant" or author, or pull a random quote completely out of context😂)
    • ਕੇਵਲ ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਮਨਿ ਵਸਿਆ ਨਾਮੇ ਹੀ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਪਾਈ ॥ Kaeval Raam Naam Man Vasiaa Naamae Hee Mukath Paaee || केवल राम नामु मनि वसिआ नामे ही मुकति पाई ॥ The Naam, the Name of the Lord alone abides in the mind; and through the Naam, the Name of the Lord, one finds liberation.
    • Shame if our past these modern days jatts sgpc lost are . One question I have is...where were the Nihangs and the anti jar Seva when anandgarh was town down and kshgarh remade to what it is now....mughals couldn't even destroy the qila. Yet we did at multiple places with our own hands..shame on sangat flr not stopping precious ones and lakh lanat to the destructors of Sikh puratan asthaans all these kar Seva babeh of the past 
    • Reason behind it is.  You can't get mass sangat in to fill the golak up.... that's why they are all the same in design etc .probs some mafia rAcket related to the mass marbeling of gurughars. Such a shame. Hardly any pictures of the original anandgar qila..only one in the toor collection
