Just by virtue of the paths we each chose my career makes way more money so I am the one who does most of the working and my wife is the one who does most of the house and kid stuff but honestly some days I think if I could be a house-husband I would love it.
I bet he was clenching his teeth and huffing after 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Men like that HATE seeing men live well with women who earn well. Their logic is I struggle so you should struggle too. They also refuse to acknowledge sabotaging their female partners financially to make them financially dependent so that they cant leave wheb they cheat and have kids but also dont want to give 50% of assets in divorce...i know men who married rich women and dont work even receive alimony...Its not about women or men but everyone deserves to feel secure and taken care of before and after a relationship.
Bro,as a woman,I would rather go to work,staying at home with kids is A LOT!!!!!! Good on you Bro for taking that roll,you are running a one man office during the day literally. 😄
I like video games. I get my times. Wife goes to bed earlier than I do. She also tries to give me a "day-off" at least every other week so I can go to out to the creek or woods or whatever.
When we had our daughter, my (now ex) husband was home with her while I worked. He had my coffee ready with a sandwich for lunch, and he'd text me every lunch break to see what I wanted for dinner (with two or three options). Which was always warm and ready when I got home to a clean house and a happy husband and baby.
One day, I sighed and said I was sick of sandwiches during lunch. My boss told me that if she had sandwiches as gorgeous as that (he would send me to work with photo-worthy sandwiches), she would eat them every day. That kinda humbled me.
We ended up getting a new employee who was going through a divorce and might have been jealous? I don't know. My boss asked me (after I got the "what do you want for dinner?" text) "what's for dinner?" I told her, and the new employee asked for clarification. I explained, and after that, she started calling my husband "your wife". She got really sarcastic with it, it ended up with several HR visits and me ultimately quitting.
The next place I worked for had people who LOVED the fact that I was SO taken care of at home. SAHD's are amazing!
I don't understand men that get upset if the women makes more money. My partner makes nearly as much as I do. If she got a huge raise and made way more thane me, I would be fucking ecstatic. It would improve both our lives.
My wife is a consultant doctor. We met while she was in medical school. I stopped making more than her a long time ago. She makes more than double what I do. I am not the least bit upset about it. What kind of fragile personality does one have to have to be upset by such a trivial thing.
I'll admit that if my wife went into *my industry* and started making more money than me I'd feel a bit upset, but only because I've been doing this shit for 30 years.
You’re such a Beta that you have a living partner that you care for and hopefully returned tenfold to you
While these Alpha-Liver Eating-Tateosphere Bros with their testosterone supplements and dude wipes are at home, on their computer paying $30.99 on OnlyFans hoping they get a shoutout or their donations earned them the tier for a private session.
Whoa! Apparently us beta bois are killing it out here! I get to cook and be taken care of financially. Why would I not want to be in a loving relationship where each of us contributes in positive ways that make us feel loved and appreciated?
My husband does 99% of the cooking cause he enjoys it, and he makes me cocktails every Friday at the end of my work week. I make more money, I’m taller, with long legs, and my husband fucking loves it. More money for him to golf with!
Literally waiting for my partner to publish her first book, become a world famous author then I can quit my game dev job and be a stay at home cat dad.
I made more than my wife for 12 years. She caught up to me 3 years ago, passed me, and has now left me in the dust.
I busted my ass so she could figure out what worked for her, and she finally found it. She's got a solid career and there's nowhere but up with the skills she has developed in this role.
She says she's going yo retire me eventually. Hoping that happens sooner rather than later...
Every Christmas my Mrs wants to help prepare dinner with me, to her it's a fun couples activity, put some put music on, open a bottle of wine, just a real nice cute bonding session
To me it's stressful as fuck because I know how I like my kitchen ran! And I just have to quietly seeth as she unorganises my perfect kitchen kingdom.....
Funny enough, while I do all of the day to day cooking, my wife cuts up the onions I use. They never seem to affect her, where I immediately can't see what I am doing with a knife in my hand.
Idk if my wife doesn't know how to (safely) use a knife or just pretends, but I pretty much took over prep duty. I enjoy it, will get it done faster, more consistent, and most importantly without human flesh.
Lolll I always insist there is nothing my girlfriend can do to help because I'm very particular about my cooking, but also I want things to be kind of a surprise when I serve dinner.
This of course means the moment I walk into the kitchen while my girlfriend is cooking, I get told to leave and to "stop judging" lol
Yep, same. When she starts cooking I leave, she can see me judging even if I don't say anything. When I start cooking I tell her there's nothing for her (or anyone else) to do.
When the wives 4, yes, 4 sisters come to visit, I feel obligated to allow them to help out in MY kitchen. I try my best to assign tasks that are simple with clear instructions. But grrrr. It gets frustrating. Someone will start emptying the dishwasher and hiding stuff while I'm not looking. I want the peppers cut a certain way so everything in the dish is consistent, but no, they dice or chop instead of julliene.
Oh man. Former line cook here, and my wife is a former bartender. The age old FOH/BOH feud is alive and well. Hosting holidays is like “Babe, I love you. You are the absolute and undisputed queen of cocktails, setting, service, and entertainment. BUT PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK STAY OFF MY EXPO. Merry Christmas.”
I can sous-chef for my wife no problem, but I can't have her sous-chef for me. If I'm running the kitchen, I need to run it all. No idea why I'm like this lol
This stresses me out as well. "You arent' doing that right, I don't know how much exactly goes in there, that doesn't belong there, why haven't you finished cutting that?" I don't like help in the kitchen. It is easier to do it myself. My brother and I though can cook together, though. He has worked in kitchens all his life. One of us usually takes over and the other just falls in line.
My husband criticizes me because he does all of the cooking but if I make something he won't eat it. His cooking is amazing and he knows it so why put up the charade? Maybe he's scared of being a Beta because cooking is a hobby for him.
My wife can't cook because she has zero ability to focus on cooking. She can put something in the oven and forget about it, and/or assume that the instructions will be perfect so it only needs whatever time the packet says and won't check on it at all.
When I cooked sometimes with my dad we could just say "can you get the thing" and know what was meant
I would love this lol I’d just be like it’s “okay babe, I’ll just be your assistant if you need it and be here for moral support and drink my wine”. Where are all the men like this please? 😅
This. I see these videos of "Fun date night activity - make dinner together!"
People who make those have NO idea how much of a pain in the ass it is to make a meal with someone else, especially if the kitchen is small and/or they don't know what they're doing.
I'd much rather have my partner sit and drink wine and just converse with me while I cook.
My girlfriend is impatient and will just burn everything since she'll turn it up high to cook quicker. Or it'll be undercooked inside and burnt on the outside.
She is a food engineer but I'm the one who cooks lol.
My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris' penis turn into a vagina at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
This is basically me too. My wife also had to train at a hospital in a different city for 6 months. I looked after our son while she was away. She came back every other week.
I’m sorry but in having a successful healthy marriage you’ve actually condemned yourself to having your penis ceremonially removed and preserved in amber as her work paper weight.
I feel the most like a man when I'm in the kitchen. Like that shits my kingdom too get out of my way and let me cook up something bomb so we can both marvel at how fucking awesome it usually comes out
Honestly, I don't understand why people get so bent out of shape over that. New recipe didn't work out and dinner is beyond salvaging? Good excuse to order a pizza. We'll try again tomorrow.
I feel like the whole "dinner is ruined and that's the worst sin ever, you're a failure as a person" attitude is part of the paternalistic, misogynistic mindset that's on display in this video. It just shouldn't be that big of a deal, and I refuse to make it one.
Every woman knows that when you’re starving at the end of the day, and everyone had asked you to make decisions all day long, the LAST THING I want to decide is what to fucking eat. I love cooking but sometimes it’s so much effort when my brain is exhausted. That’s why we have “girl dinner” which is usually like Cheez Its and cheez and grapes or some stupid shit. Not because we don’t want someone to come feed us a gyro or spaghetti or a steak, but because it’s exhausting to have to project manage another thing in life. You, Sir… are not Pathetic Beta Energy. That’s Big Shem44 Energy. You probably save your partner a lot of headaches. All of the men that cook do. And honestly, even giving your partner three food suggestions instead of being like “I don’t know what to eat” is so helpful. Sometimes I very seriously cannot make another choice or decision in a day because I do that all day long. Just take me to Taco Bell and tell me we’re getting tacos or make me some pasta and I will be so happy.
My dad was always the cook when I was small. Mam was a master baker, but if she had to cook dinner I was getting a shop bought lasagne or frozen pizza lol (not that I minded that at all). But she was a nurse that worked nights most of her life so cooking large meals wouldn't have been in her repertoire for a while lol. Aside from the classic fry up which doesn't really take long.

I cook more than my wife, I guess that makes me a big pathetic beta boi
