Q & A

What does it mean to be a 'hemma flickvän' (stay-at-home girlfriend)?

Being a 'hemma flickvän' means taking care of the home and supporting your partner in their goals and dreams. It’s similar to being a stay-at-home wife, but without the legal marriage. The role involves managing household tasks like cooking, cleaning, and organizing events while also having personal interests and hobbies.

Why did you decide not to work a traditional job?

I decided not to work a traditional job because I realized I wasn’t happy in the jobs I had. They caused me stress and anxiety, and I felt they didn’t align with my values. I wanted to create a life where I could focus on what I truly enjoy, like personal development, social media, and hobbies.

How do you and your partner manage finances if you don’t work a traditional job?

I receive a monthly allowance from my partner, but he is the one who handles the finances, including earning the income and paying the bills. It’s an agreement we made together, and I support him emotionally while focusing on other aspects of my life.

What do you do with your time if you’re not working a traditional job?

I spend my time on personal development, health, fitness, and hobbies like horse riding. I also work on building my social media community, which includes creating content for YouTube and TikTok. I try to focus on activities that make me happy and align with my interests.

What was your work experience before deciding to quit your job?

I worked in various roles, including as a caretaker at a nursing home, a stable hand for horses, and in an industrial setting. While some jobs were better than others, I eventually realized I didn’t enjoy working for someone else and wanted more control over my life.

How does your partner feel about being the sole financial provider?

My partner feels good about it. He takes pride in being able to provide for us and sees it as a fulfilling role. He feels happy supporting me and values our dynamic, even though there may be moments of stress or uncertainty. It’s a mutual decision, and we’re both content with the arrangement.

Are you worried your partner might leave you without anything?

I don’t live in fear of that. I’ve learned from books like 'The Power of Now' that worrying about the future is not helpful. If something were to happen, I’ve made sure I’m prepared for it, but I try to focus on being the best partner I can be in the present moment.

How do you envision your life in 10 years?

In 10 years, I hope to have built a stronger online community through my social media platforms. I envision living in a beautiful place with my family, possibly married with children, enjoying life’s experiences, and continuing to grow personally and professionally.

Do you think it’s important to have the same interests as your partner for a relationship to work?

Not necessarily. It’s more important to have shared values and goals in life. My partner and I don’t share many hobbies, but we both enjoy working out. We have different interests, but we respect each other’s passions and give each other space to pursue them.

What advice would you give someone who wants to become a stay-at-home girlfriend or wife?

The most important thing is to ensure you are with a partner who shares your values and goals. You need to have open communication and make sure both of you are on the same page. Support your partner in their work, help them succeed, and be patient. It’s also essential to be ready for the responsibilities that come with this role, like managing the home and contributing emotionally.
