[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHD, and I have to say that I think my wife loved the idea at the time, and still loves a lot about it, but it has created some strain in our marriage. She won't admit it, but I honestly think she has lost respect for me because of it. That hurts a lot, as it was a mutual decision we made for me to stay home. We have talked about me trying to return to work, but with two small children, I (and she says it as well) believe having a parent home is the best option. I guess maybe not if it hurts the marital relationship though ... That's an aspect to this that I haven't seen anyone mention. And yes, I don't look forward to trying to explain my career gap to potential employers, who I assume will look at that gap much differently for a man than for a woman.[/quote]
