Men Without Full-Time Jobs Are 33% More Likely to Divorce

I quit my full time job a year and a half ago, so my wife could pursue her dream career, I could spend more time with the family, take care of the house, be there for the kids when they get home from school, do some hobby projects for myself, have dinner ready when my wife comes home from work etc etc. Everyone is happier. If anything, I feel we're _less_ likely to divorce thanks to this change.

This is the way. House husband is a great role in society and we need to let men do it more without shaming them.

Is all the financial responsibility on your wife then or did you quit your job because you had ample savings/FIRE?

You may enjoy "The Way of the Househusband" on Netflix. It's a comedic slice of life show about a former Yakuza member who takes the intensity of his former life into domestic life and scares and confuses people he runs into because they assume he's still in the Yakuza. There's an anime and live action versions, although I prefer the anime myself.

I'm not really a Househusband, I still have a fulltime job, but I do most of the cooking and cleaning and errands, so I related to it a lot.
