I'm getting married in January - I've been unhappy in my career for several years and my future husband has told me I don't have to work anymore if I don't want to. So... I quit! A few weeks ago, with no notice, and it was the best feeling EVER.
We don't have kids yet, so I just take care of all the domestic things and have dinner ready when he gets home....he's happy, I'm happy....but is it normal? We haven't really told anyone I quit because we feel like the will judge us ( out of jealousy? )
What do you think?

    It's definitely not normal in this day and age. But does that mean it's bad? Let's see. You are doing something that makes both you and your husband happy. You can afford to do it. You both want this lifestyle. You are not hurting anybody. Yeah, sounds pretty nefarious. If your friends are judgemental, they're probably jealous, or cannot concieve that anybody would willingly elect to stay at home. I don't know why that decision baffles so many people. I hope you two enjoy it.

    I would love to be able to quit my job and if in my couple we could afford to have only one partner working I would be home in my bed right now. I think that I would be happier being a housewife. I'm jealous.

    "it was the best feeling EVER"

    You said it yourself. Why feel bad about it?

    Who care what anyone thinks or says! It's your life and if you are happy not working, so be it. There is nothing that says you have to work. Our society has, unfortunately, become overly materialistic, placing more value on material things and valuing family life less. I commend you for having the courage to live your life as want it to be.

    If you are both happy then who cares!! There's nothing wrong with it, just because its not what everyone does these days it doesn't mean it's not normal.

    Sure, I want a wife who will work. And I want to be a stay at home dad. And take care of the domestic shit. Sounds easy!
