[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 years ago I started a business, and today have built it to where I make about 50% more than H working only 3-4 hours a day (sometimes less). Mostly I did this out of necessity, since H had zero flexibility with his job and I took on most childcare.

H doesn't really know how little I work. I've barely worked at all since early December. I don't want to take on more domestic work - right now it's split 50/50. I know if he saw that I work, then go spend the rest of the day at the gym or watching Netflix, he'd probably feel resentful at the amount of leisure time I have. And expect me to either do more domestic work or work more so we make more money. I don't want to do either.

Anyone in this situation? How do you handle it?[/quote]

Do you all have kids or other responsibilities? Is your housekeeping outsourced? That would help with a response, that its very odd he has no idea?  However if you feel guilty about it and he's busting his butt then you know the answer, you should be helping out regardless of gender.[/quote]
