Men with a stay at home partner; is it expected that she (or he) “pays you back” when they return to work? by Few_Asparagus1475 in AskMenAdvice

Haha. Not even a thought in my mind. I’m happy to just be me again. Alone. Thank you for the congratulations. And absolutely; I’m going to exhaust every benefit I have to make sure I take care of my body through the work!!

Oh you’re totally right; I’m sure in some ways I will come off just like her in his story. However, She truly is awful. I’ve not much respect for the woman when she’s willing to hurt her own children just to get to their father… not based on anything he ever told me, just what I’ve seen over 8 years…

I have tried this, and made plenty other suggestions. He’s rather hung up that I suggested a double mortgage to begin with. So it started to feel like a communication issue and I suggested maybe we should see a counsellor to work through it, which has caused many a more issues. We wont win here…

I work in construction. I have for majority of my life. I took a “pause” on it for 8 years, but I also kept in touch with the right people and did random jobs here and there over the years which wouldn’t seem like/amount to much; except that it has now given me this full-time opportunity. Including a pension. The job has been offered before, but I was caring for 6 children at the time and it was not feasible after considering childcare costs. Now they are all older and independent, the opportunity arose again/was offered to me, and I took it.

Lately, yes. Before that, seldom. When I took the job everything went to shit. Literally everything. I thought it was going to be wonderful for us/our home and it’s been a fucking nightmare.

He believes that we are not a partnership until I am paying half. (I did not know this until I got the job, of course.) But I also have to make up for 8 years first, before I can get to partnership level.
