Should i agree to live in a female led relationship
6 years ago I was made redundant, I had a good job in management with a good salary, my wife had a part time office job in administration and delt with most of the housework, cooking etc. I struggled to find work for several months but in this time an opportunity came up for my wife at work to take on more responsibility but it meant going full time. She applied successfully for this promotion, meanwhile I found a job but it was shift work, long hours and the pay wasn’t great. But I was happy to be working again. We moved house to downsize to something cheaper with no mortgage just in case. In the new house we took on a cleaner who turned out to be rubbish, we got rid of her and found another one, same result. Forward 3 years my wife had been promoted again and was about to get another promotion. She persuaded me to give up my job and take a part time one which she had heard about and take on the role of part time working and part time ‘house wife’. By now she was earning more than I was before I was made redundant. Forward 3 more years to present day her salary has nearly doubled in the last 3 years as she has climbed further up the career ladder. She has asked me to consider a new arrangement, she earns enough to keep us both in a comfortable life style and wants me to give up work completely and become what she calls her full time ‘house wife’. She has told me she would like us to live in a ‘female led relationship’. She feels that as the main ‘bread winner’ she should be in charge anyway and if I agree to her idea I would be at her beck and call to look after her. She wants us to move to a bigger house again and says giving up work would give me enough time to do the housework.
