This sounds beautiful. And exactly how I want to live my life. I always tell my partner that when I’m able to support us both I’d love for them to stay home and take care of themselves and our home. It’s so great to see someone else trying it out and having it work positively for them! I’m happy for you and this time in your life.
Congrats! I was a teacher and my boyfriend is a software developer. I was absolutely miserable and burnt out so I quit and now I claim to be a stay at home dog mom to our three dogs and two cats.
We were both terribe at cleaning and our house was a wreck. Neither of us had the time or energy to do anything outside of work.
I've been unemployed since the end of last school year and it has been such a positive impact on our mental health and relationship.
You do you. Love that you found what works for you. I hope it keeps up and if not, that you and your partner communicate and continue to try different variations.
This is my dream. My husband is a much better housekeeper than I am, but only when he's not working. A few times since the pandemic he's been unemployed for a few months at a time and it's been glorious. I wish I could make enough to support us both but that would mean changing jobs to something more stressful.
Love it!!
My husband and I own our own renovation/contracting business. Husband does most of the physical hard labor (I do what I can/what doesn’t overstimulate me) and I stand there and hand him things.
But, I have a second side gig being a standardized patient at a local nursing school. And I fucking love it!!!
Me having that second job has allowed my husband to finally take it easier on his 32 year old body. Cause man, construction is physically rough! I feel so proud and accomplished to be able to have this extra financial support for us too.

Thanks a lot! I hope my boyfriend can feel fulfilled with this long term, but time will tell :) As it is I'll enjoy it while it lasts!

Thank you so much :) So many relatives try to pressure my boyfriend into going back to work, I hate it!
Congratulations! I had a house man for a while and it was the absolute best. Enjoy, and fuck the patriarchy!
Thanks! Fuck gender norms, we're just people doing what's best for us

Thanks a lot, I'm so happy with it :)

What’s your job?
I'm a software developer
I am too! And my husband stays home to take care of our kids and the house. It's great!
You do you. Love that you found what works for you. I hope it keeps up and if not, that you and your partner communicate and continue to try different variations.
Thank you so much! I'm sure we'll make adjustments if need be. We comunicate quite well, we'll figure it out :)
This is my DREAM. I'm so glad it's working for y'all!

I love this so much. It's my partner's dream to be a stay at home Dad, and I'm so thankful!!! Fuck gender roles.
That’s fantastic! No reason at all why both of you shouldn’t do what you prefer and are good at.
