There’s this outdated idea that men are breadwinners. However, in today’s rapidly progressing and enabling society, where gender equality is regarded as one of the most important values, this is becoming a thing of the past.
However, according to University of Bath research, husbands are least stressed when their wives earn up to 40% of household income, but they become increasingly uncomfortable as their spouse’s wages rise above that spot, and they are most stressed when they are completely totally reliant on their partner. In other words, they are unhappy if their female partner earns more than they do.
This story from the AITA subreddit is an example of this theory in action. “While I struggle with money and have to borrow from the joint bank account, my wife never has this problem,” an anonymous husband using the handle TAwifework35 recently wrote.
What irritates him the most is returning to work only to find his wife “chilling (watching TV, playing video games, reading, or exercising) or shopping or in the gym.” He faced her with a demand that people say is simply delusional, fed up with her “wasting her day.”

22. This dude seems really serious about this
23. Point to be noted
It’s clearly and totally inappropriate of OP to tell her wife that she needs to change her job. Who would want her wife to be stressed and exhausted due to work? She completes her chores and earns more than OP what’s the problem with that? OP should realize his mistake and we hope it all gets fine.
