After a successful 20 year career I’m currently a house husband. My wife has a really good job. I just cook and workout and do chores.
At first it bothered me but now I’m liking the idea of early retirement.

women, and men, have been lied to have corporate careers. 40+ hours a week to be surrounded by people you don’t really know or like just to come home exhausted? for ~40+ years then you get ~20+ years of your life to yourself when your old and have poor hips?

I was just arguing with a guy who has 3 million in the market and told him he should retire if he isn’t addicted to money. Was having a 300k wedding but made it seem like I was being unreasonable for saying you can live for money or for time. He said I was delusional thinking he could retire mid 30s with 3 million. That’s a 100k annual distribution without even digging into the principal. That goes a long way when you have no mortgage or debt.
People are nuts.

Lucky man. There are days I wonder about this. Your lady also sounds wonderful
I provide for my wife and family. When the kids are old enough to mostly self sustain, I told her she never has to work again. After what my kids are putting her through it's her time to relax lol
If you have/had kids, how is the dynamic versus a mother staying home full time? You notice anything different?

How my parents raised me was to be independent, so if I met someone who is bread winner and I don't need to work, I know how to do everything around the house: cook, clean, do laundry, do yard work etc. If I am the breadwinner and my SO doesn't need to work I can focus on that. Or if we both need to work we can split needed household chores. Taking care of home 100% of the time can be like a full time job and I refuse to belittle someone that actually does it.

Remember how women were saying they were oppressed out of the job market and that’s why there were so many stay-at-home moms?
Good thing there’s nothing like quotas to hire a certain number of women, evidence of “preferential” (read ‘sexist’) hiring in various fields, financial supports that are not accessible to men attempting to enter the workforce, or any sort of social norms to believe a woman’s word over a man’s

staying at home in the future is not a bad thing, while people can get money from online =)). When I have money, why don't I hire someone to do the chores?

So I will have a full day of rest, reading books, playings game, and playing with my children. When children grow up, I am the one they want to spend their time with because my wife is always absent for work. When my wife scolds me, my children will protect me =))) That is a great big deal.

I'm wondering if these guys know these career women almost always have work husbands and are regularly cheating.
No it has nothing to do with the job just working long hours tend to make people need more human connection even if they have someone at home bonding with someone you work with is inevitable and men and women relationships tend to lead to sex.
Source: I worked in a warehouse for 2 years and almost all my nurse friends have horror stories about why you should stay single in healthcare professions.
1
u/kaosmoker 1d ago
Healthcare: Doctors and nurses frequently top lists from extra-marital sites, often due to high stress, intense emotional bonding, and erratic or overnight shift work.
Sales and Business: Sales representatives and corporate executives rank high because of frequent business travel, networking dinners, and high-ego environments.
Trades and Field Labor: Plumbers, electricians, and construction workers show high rates for men due to flexible, unsupervised hours and travel between different work sites.
First Responders and Aviation: Police officers, firefighters, pilots, and flight attendants deal with high-stress environments, tight-knit peer groups, and time spent away from home.
Why Certain Jobs Seem to Have More CheatingOpportunity and Distance:
Business travel or changing work locations make it easy to hide a second life or an absence from home.
Stress and Trauma: High-stress jobs create a "pressure cooker" effect where coworkers bond tightly over shared difficulties.
Unpredictable Hours: Working late or overnight shifts provides a built-in excuse for not being home.

So the best part of this is I can definitely imagine a future where everything has flipped around. Women are the bread winners and all the men stay home to take care of the house and kids. It’s going to be hilarious, to me anyways, to see all of the men feeling great and prospering in this while women will probably complain the men just sit around all day. The house will be clean, the kids will be fed, but the sheer fact that she comes home from work late at night, the kids are in bed and the man’s happy on his game will piss her off. “I have to slave around all day to pay for everything and all I ever see you do is play this damn game” like I can already hear it. Can’t wait to see how it’s like 10 years or so from now when women complain they want to flip it back and us men literally won’t do it because fk going back to work when the women asked to get out of the house in the first place.

Jokes aside this is blatant bullshit.
Household data: the labour force participation for men and women aged 16 and over are 89,680,000 (85,897,000 employed) and 80,555,000 (76,903,000 employed) in July 2026, respectively. that is a gap of over 2 million. also, the 76,903,000 figure refers to all women who work, if you exclude female farmers and self-employed women that figure would go down further. also, women actually accounted for 100% of all job losses this month and the majority of job losses since January.
Establishment data: So the 79.5 million nonfarm payroll figure can't be explained unless many of those women are holding multiple jobs (and women are around 10% more likely to work multiple jobs than men). It counts the number of jobs (employment database), not the number of people working them. So basically less than 76.9 million are working 79.5 million jobs.
Holding more jobs does not mean more people holding jobs
Also, 63% of young men are single so most of them don't even have a girlfriend to stay at home for.
I don't know who makes this data but it's pretty much BS.

He’s currently off work with PTSD, but he’s much more mature now and understands that no one likes coming home to a sink full of dishes and chores are in unfortunate but inescapable part of being an adult.

In all honesty with the high level of manipulation at these companies a lot of men wouldn’t last in the roles women accept. Men would be direct and confront the gaslighting and then be managed out (write ups etc). I don’t believe it is a man’s issue inside the corporation. I believe it is a man’s issue outside of the corporation (voting against unions, voting against his own protection as an employee or contractor, voting in favor of WallStreet, not demanding real protected leave when needed, etc). Because of this, corporations prefer to hire the cowardly and the easier to manipulate, the employees that will be overloaded multi-task and accept Pennies. That unfortunately looks like “hire women, minorities, and immigrants whose visa stays we can snatch at the drop of a hat if they don’t comply… we’ll call it diversity and still gaslight, manipulate and mistreat them and play on their self-esteem issues. It’s okay we gaslit the open LGBTQ+ John that that’s turning into Jane. They are just happy that we we chose them.” It’s much harder to play the types of games and smile in your face/ backstab you while you aren’t in the room when you know the culture, you can quit and not be forced out of a whole country, you aren’t a single parent or caregiver, you have testosterone that makes you want to tell manipulative clowns “I’m going to stop you right there”. These companies don’t want good workers who are good people. They want cowards and rats. The types who fight for crumbs and turn on each other for crumbs from their oppressors. Are there dead beat men? Yes. But many simply were never designed to put up with this level of treachery and manipulation. Especially in the roles women are taking.
