[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP. I realize this is going to be hard for the DCUM girl boss and jaded beta-male sets to acknowledge, but please consider that mating strategies are hardwired and for most women having a spouse in the domestic sphere all day--even if they are providing for the family by 21 c standards--is going to be a huge turn off. You can blast me for being sexist or un-PC or whatever, but it's a hallow moral victory if the marriage is ruined. Going to the office a few days a week is not a big ask.  Obviously this doesn't apply to couples who agreed to this on their own terms, but for a lot of women having their spouse around at home all day is going to be unattractive and it's unrealistic to expect the OP to just turn that switch off when there is a reasonable middle ground here.

So I am the DW breadwinner (with an in office job, commute, and travel) and my husband was remote prepandemic.   I cannot begin to describe how much more relief mentally and physically I have felt in the last 2.5 years being able to work at home.  I get that you say all this attraction is hard wired, but if my spouse said half the things OP has said here and most specifically pushed me to lose precious time on the road, that would not just be fighting words, in my view that would be war.
