[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in the EXACT same situation. I now SAH bc we have a young baby but [b]when I worked the dynamic was the same bc I earned less. [u]Deep down he’s not wrong.[/u] [/b]We actually went to therapy for a while about this and it’s apparently tied to his Leave it to Beaver type grandmother that partially  raised him. So look for something in his past to help understand how he got this kind of expectation. 
What helped me was to visit him at work like once or twice and then I got a feel for the  insanity and high pressure of his job that he does all day m-f. Also I realized by the time I doubted how much time I b^tched about it, went to therapy about it, and generally bucked it, the task could have been done a long time ago. So just accept this is who you married, get perspective that his job is like none of your friends’ husbands, and hire help or just do it quickly yourself. Let a lot of my resentment go.
Very happily married btw!
