[quote=Anonymous]I'm a therapist and I seen more than a few married and divorced men in my practice. They can often know intellectually their wives have a difficult job as a sahm, they love them, they love their kids, they know their spouses are good mothers. They feel proud, too, of themselves, that they can provide.

But they can also simultaneously resent the burden of being the sole breadwinner. Almost all have a keen sense of what they believe are their wives imitations at home, what she doesn't do well. They keep tabs on it, in their mind. When they are frustrated they are prone to honing in on those things. If a child acts out, or has behavioral issues, since you are with them more, expect him to think you are part of the issue.  Unconsciously or consciously, he may see most aspects of raising the children as your job, especially at that income level.  It can wear over time and many of them (again, there may be a selection bias at play) are conflicted. Appreciative but potentially pissy as well. Not exactly a clinical term but you know what I mean.[/quote]
