[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at my office Thursday and chatting with a female partner. When she mentioned her husband I asked if he was also a lawyer. Nope. Oh, what does he do? He is a house-husband. Honestly, she made it sound great - he does all the cooking and cleaning and errands and bill-paying, etc. I was like "yes, sign me up for one of those please!" jokingly.

I mentioned it to a friend and she said she thought the partner's husband has mental health issues and that's why he doesn't work. This has been their setup for over a decade.

So maybe men who don't work have some personal struggles going on.[/quote]

Generally it's a little of both, and what you want to categorize as "personal struggles" may not be that visible to you. 
That goes for couples with and without kids. I knew a couple in a European country with 7 children and a stay at home husband. He was perfectly nice, if a little harried, and the wife was away half the time because she was an elected representative in the European parliament. She was way more suited to the executive life than he was. Not sure he had any "personal struggles"... but he was definitely a gentle, slightly distracted sort of person who went at his own pace.
