>>13108430I don't understand it either. My wife is a medical doctor who works longer hours and earns a higher base salary than I do, and she would earn more if not for my bonusses or capital gains. I had incorrectly assumed she draws most of her self worth from her profession, but it's become obvious she draws it almost entirely from being my wife. She gets extremely upset whenever I make food for myself/us or clean the house (easy for me since WFH atm) and insists that it's her job as a housewife to do it.
I think she is based af and I love the way she is, but I've tried talking to her about this and either getting her to cut her hours or hire a cleaner etc. so she doesn't have to make any sacrifices to her career. Less than a month after I suggested hiring help she quit her job entirely and became a full time house wife lol. We talked about this countless times with my trying to support her career, but it comes down to the fact that she enjoys being a housewife far more than being in a clinic and we don't exactly need the money right now.
We're both white Christian, but not exactly church goers if that helps for a datapoint.
