I'm sure financial stress takes a toll on couples. Just like in this case, some self-imposed sense of obligation and identity is taxing this man. It seems, probably, very artificially.

And gasp, yes, younger generations are absolutely seeing men taking time off and relying on the woman's income.

I honestly just can't with this stuff. I forget what it's like going from gay/queer spaces back to straight world. Y'all get hung up on the absolute silliest, sexist, unfair stuff that ironically is actually a serious issue worth consideration in the grand scheme of advocating for men.
