[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, but he also wanted me to handle everything at home like his own SAHM did.  If I asked him to do something, he acted like it was a failure on my part for not being able to pull it off myself.

The truth is, he did not want the pressure of being a sole provider for the family.  I think he also wanted a credentialed and accomplished wife because it reflected well on him; that the DC version of a trophy wife.

Needless to say, I got out.[/quote]

Needless to say...like it was unreasonable for him to not want to be the sole provider?[/quote]

It is unreasonable to want a person to work full time and also handle everything around the house as if they did not have a job.  Yes.  That's unreasonable.

I WOH at a job that's in the 60 hr/week range, and my husband who has a 9-5 handles probably 65% of day-to-day household tasks.  If he wanted me to do every single thing around the house and treated me like an underperforming employee when things fell through the cracks, that would indeed be unreasonable.[/quote]
