  People feel weird about it, but it’s perfectly fine.

  My wife doesn’t work a paying job, we don’t have kids, but in almost every conversation when I’m meeting someone when they ask what my wife does and I tell them, they always follow it up with like, “Oh does she work from home?” or “Oh, does she sell stuff online?”

  It often breaks their brain that she doesn’t work a paid job.

    But surely she does something, right? I’d love the opportunity to no longer work & still be comfortable, but at the same time I know I’ll get bored. I like working, I just hate that capitalism forces me.

      Oh, yes, she does a lot, but for opsec reasons I’m not really providing details.

      She just doesn’t get paid to do it, call it hobbies mostly.

        Ah. She kills people for fun. I understand and support her lifestyle.

    I know a few stay at home partners/spouses and all act the same: highly demanding and think they’re better than everyone else because their partners are high earners despite never achieving anything in life. That’s why it personally gives me the ick. Kudos to anyone who is in that situation, but doesn’t act entitled.

      Luckily she’s hardly that way. She’s actually got really bad guilt about it and has wanted to abandon things just to work a paying job so she can tell people that’s what she does.

        Yeah, I get the guilt. I, too, had it when I was unemplyoed and wasn’t financially independent.
