[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It seems like this boils down to you resenting your husband for making less than you and still expecting you to be the dutiful cooking and cleaning wife.
I've been there.
My solution was to cut way back at work so I have more time at home. In turn he had to step out of his comfort zone and get a better job. Not very feminist but our marriage is way better.[/quote]

OP. It’s not so much I resent him - he does do 50%, which I appreciate.

I have just realized I don’t like cooking or cleaning. I didn’t like it before kids and intentionally set up my life in a way I didn’t do them much (very minimalist, ate the same 3 meals over and over).

It’s much harder with kids because they won’t eat the same 3 things unless it’s kids food, and there’s so much more to clean.

So I just want to get back to where I don’t cook and clean very much.

Scaling back at work isn’t an option for me. I love work, I would be absolutely miserable cutting back so I could clean. [/quote]
