Why do some husbands want their wives to stay home and take of the house instead of working

"I can only speak for myself, I want my wife to stay at home and take care of the house, do the school runs, make me dinner, do our washing and generally run our lives. Say's me colleague.".

When our daugter was born, I stayed home with her and my wife worked. When our daughter was 6, my wife had since (thanks meds), and after months of tests they never did find out what caused it.

It did some damage and her memory isn't as good as it was, she can't process thing as quickly and can't follow anything to complex, she gets tired and sometimes I am not as funny as I think I am ( must be side effect of the seizure because I am sure I am hilarious).

I want her to stay home and do what she can, to sleep when she gets tired, to get to know neighbors to do gardening ( which apparently is fun not work) to be happy.

Rather than go back to work cry at night about job due to not being able to keep up, which is what did happen when she insisted she was ok to go to work.

We are lucky that I make enough now that we can live with one income, we hade some very rough years at first but now 9 years later we are happy as can be. I still do the stuff she dose ( who doesn't love cleaning up puke from sick kids?) And she is doing all she can.

No one size fits all relationships.

Much love…..
