It's okay to be a househusband, amirite?

My husband is a house hubby. He's great at it and I love him for that. He packs my lunch every day and has dinner on the table when I get home. The house is always clean and tidy as he keeps himself busy during the day. I love my house husband.

I bet there's a woman out there who is career minded that this sounds like a sweet deal. You help take care of the kids and the house, while she is able to achieve her goals with no worries about having to come home and work second shift. Why not?

I think this is mainly unpopular due to requiring 2 incomes to afford to live as a family these days. If one of the incomes is high enough to support this, all the power to you.

So if a woman wrote it, would you say same? Or just because I'm a man? Also I absolutely feel you have every right to your opinion. I just want to hear why you think so.

Reversing the role is always the same man. It's ok to want what you want as long as your partner also wants that, and someone isn't dangling the fact that they are the provider in front of the other's face.

I mean it probably isn't weird, but in this day and age it's really impossible to just live off one salary and I would never get into a relationship with a guy who instantly says he wants to be a househusband

I think this would work if your wife is earning mega loads of money.

Look into the homesteading community, plenty of women (and men) who want to do the more labour intensive farm and animal work but would rather offload the home making / related duties

It is out of the norm - you should probably declare it on your dating sites. Problem is the market is not super big.

My man and I have a similar situation but not married. My income pays for most things and is enough that we can afford everything we need, he doesn't work and has a much smaller income that he uses to contribute to one or two small monthly bills and some groceries. He also does all the laundry, all the dishes, most of the cooking, keeps the house clean and our dogs fed, watered and walked. I pitch in when I want to be helpful on a day off or if things have piled up or if I want to give him a break but mostly my domestic responsibilities are just putting my clean and dry clothes away he's so efficient, he even runs my baths for me! It wasn't intentional it's just something that we've fallen into after life circumstances happened and it really works for us. We also make sure that the other feels loved and appreciated for what they do, we always have each others back when receiving criticism etc. We've received a LOT of pushback from well meaning friends and relatives who think I'm a doormat and he's lazy, but they all tend to shut up real quick when we point out that if I was a man and he was a woman nobody would be questioning it. Some things, like peace of mind, have more value than money.

Yeah being a housebitch should never be confined to something as trivial as sex or gender

It has to be OK because it's happening in our current society or we all go mad.

What happened? You couldn't find anything you were interested in in school? You got laid off? Your degree is useless? Are you clinically depressed? In my eyes this should only be a temporal situation…Good luck finding a woman that would actually respect you. Im saying this with no snark in my tone by the way.

It goes against social norms so it probably feels weird but I know several guys who take this role in their relationships, and as a woman who is very passionate about her job, it's something I value in a partner too! Definitely harder to meet the right people but totally valid.

You basically want to be retired then... Cause that sounds a lot like retirement without having to work.

Is that just because I'm a man, will you say same about a lady that thinks same?

by Anonymous 1 week ago

I would. If you don't have kids, you're just doing the same thing as you would without the responsibilities. I'm all for stay-at-home husbands and wives, but you need to be doing something out of the normal cooking and cleaning, otherwise it's just retirement. I'm a woman btw if that changes anything.

Yes, it's not the 1950's anymore. Back then "the household" was quite the job, today not so much anymore. So to me someone, woman or other, saying they just want to stay at home feels like an uneven balance of contribution. Having kids does change the equation somewhat, but that really only lasts for a few years until they go to school. Besides these days, at least where I live, running a two or more person household on a single salary is quite tough. The only version of this that I know of that some women are really looking for is what is sometimes called a female led relationship. But that's a bit different kinda "game".

retirement is an end to a working career it does not mean go sit at home, we had a retired air force Colonel teaching at my college cause he was bored of staying home

Sorry. Cannot trust it. It just made my father a pos leech with three kids. Eventually a gone deadbeat who started a second family. Even when buying my mom's birthday gifts or on valentines Christmas etc he still wouldn't pull anything out of his own pocket. It'd be all from my mom. Don't trust it.

Your pov and feelings are valid, I'm not saying otherwise. Different roads to a market, doesn't mean the person that took a different road from us is wrong. I pray we all find peace. Thanks for sharing
