[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely obsessed with these people who assume the woman resentful of the mental load must be a SAHM or has some sort of “for fun” job. I know moms in hetero marriages who are the default parent and household manager and make double what the husband makes. [/quote]

Statistically these cases are rare as you are well aware. [/quote]

Different poster and while I agree this is uncommon, in certain circles it can be common. I went to an Ivy League law school and have many close friends from there. Most of us make more than our husbands. I also attend a baptist church in the south where you would think a more traditional model would hold. We are close friends with 5 other couples from church. 4 of the women in the group make substantially more than their husbands.

While it isn’t the case in my marriage, studies show that when the wife is the breadwinner, the woman generally takes on MORE household and mental labor for the family.
