Probably an unpopular take, and you do have to survive the first 4 minutes of a whiny video to even get to the crux of this argument, but….
If a man has set up his home in such a way that his wife is expected to be as much of a provider as he is, to essentially function in his role as well as her own, it’s actually not neurotic for the wife to expect that he function like as much of a homemaker as she is.
If he’s willing to split his role with her, but not her role with himself, she’s working double time and he’s comparatively working part-time.
Of course, she’s right that that’s a terrible way to set up your home and of course it will be rife with bitterness.
The solution they’ve supposedly chosen is the solution for the *problem* they’ve chosen.
ooo are we doing hot takes? Ok, mine is that if you expect your wife to split the provision in income, that you have now forfeited the expectation of her being the primary housekeeper and now you both split that duty just like she’s splitting your primary duty.
