vickyyy...seriously??!! if the OP were a stay at home mom u would be ok with it? Being a stay at home parent IS a full time job. Maybe this dad was better cut out for it than mom

He IS A MAN. HE IS TAKING CARE OF HIS KIDS!!!!
money does not make a man. Actions DO.
wow.
u r talking total cr@p. op needs to look for a job and become financially independent.not just for himself but to finance the education of his kids in future.
"money does not make a man" - such sentences r very easy to type on keyboard.

While I sympathize with the OP taking care of his kids, the fact is that a double standard DOES exist on this topic for both sexes.
Women who are homemakers instead of employed aren't viewed negatively. Men who do so are. Is that fair? No. Does that mean it isn't true? No.
It is very possible that the OP's wife has stopped being attracted to him because she views keeping house as feminine rather than masculine.
In any case, if that is true, it is a long-term problem with a long-term solution. The short-term strategy should be to gather evidence, decide whether an affair is happening, and then react to that.
While I agree with you donewithit vickyy does have a point.
Your idea that a SAHD is just as valuable as a SAHM is perfectly rational, just, correct, and should be considered equitable with a SAHM.
However social perception (Which is anything but rational, just, or correct) states that a man who doesn`t work is less than a man.
Many women subconsciously disrespect their husbands when they don`t make as much as they do let alone a husband who is a SAHD.

Exactly!! I work 7 days a week from 6am-9pm!! No time off. I am very good at it. I've been doing it for years and that's why my wife has a good job.
We have had quite a few stay at home dads posting in the past. The idea that their wives do not appreciate it is quite clear and I think the divorce rate is also higher than average.
In Australia, where women are (supposedly) treated much more equally than other countries, they have the highest percentage of women who sign up for cheating websites than any other country. It is also the only country where more women sign up to cheat than men. Hope this doesn't portend our future.
Yeah, women talk a good game about wanting equality in the home and workplace, yet when they are the ones bringing home most of the bread, it always seems they lose respect for their husbands, no matter how hard the husband works taking care of kids and home.
It is thousands of years of genetic conditioning that have ingrained in women the need to be supported and cared for by their husbands. When they try to switch it around, it always fails in the end.
I'm not sure if being a SAHD puts you at risk for your spouse cheating any more than anything else. And having a backbone and refusing to beg for the marriage works for both sexes; confidence and strength helped in our case and I'm a woman.
Wimpiness, crying, pleading, reasoning, false threats, none of that works for anyone. Posted via Mobile Device
