Just started working wife declares it’s only for 22 months!
Hi community,
Seeking your advice and guidance.
My wife just started working after 10 years of staying home with the now big kids. Within the first month she has decided that working is not for her and will quit within 22 months.
The expectation is that like the last decade, I will be the sole breadwinner and provide her with a house and eternal income.
I keep feeling the relationship is gone and that I’m just a service provider. I pay for everything. I cook and when I don’t she orders expensive takeaway food that are unhealthy. We don’t sleep in the same room. We never go on dates. We only barely talk together about practical stuff.
She is a double degree holder and from a rich family.
We have been together for 20 years.
I feel the relationship is very disproportional and only thing I’m currently getting out of it is access to my children.
What should I do? Only her opinion about things seems valid. I feel she gaslights me but argues with conviction I’m the one thinking the worst about her. How can I address my needs and concerns?
