Lecter: My husband is a house husband?
I work 55 hours a week. It’s a stressful dangerous but well paying job. So when I come home my husband has the house clean and dinner ready for me when I finally get home. He also usually starts the shower for me and lays out my P.J.s. He also rubs by feet often when I get home. I love him for all the things he does for me. Would you say this relationship is natural? Would you ever be in a relationship such as this? Why or why not?

It’s not unusual to have a house husband. Not every family has a house wife and a husband that works.

Thats the first time I ever heard of that! Its usually the other way around. I wished I had it easy like him.

Lecture, I think you work the poor bastard too hard. He shouldn’t have to do all that for you, you have two arms that aren’t broken don’t you. That being said, I don’t believe you are in fact married and judging by the amount of time you spend on yahoo, you don’t have a demanding job either. In fact, I’d even hazard a guess that you are having as much trouble finding a job as I am.

Would you say this relationship is natural? – Sure, that being said I don’t think whether it’s natural or not has any bearing on whether it’s a good or bad thing.
Would you ever be in a relationship such as this? – Probably not, I doubt I’d find any contentment being in that situation. That’s not to say I find anything wrong with it, if it works for you two then good.

You both sound perfectly content to me. All that matters.

I would personally be uncomfortable with a man who wanted to be a house husband and I would not do well in a stressful 55 hour a week job, either. Your relationship is the exception rather than the norm. But then what you are doing isn’t morally wrong and it’s also entirely your business.

“My husband is a house husband?”
Well, he’s your husband…you tell us.
“Would you say this relationship is natural?”
Natural, in the sense meaning something that occurs in nature…probably not so much. Nature generally imbued males with certain attributes which, in a more primitive state, would suit men more for being hunter gatherers who provide for and protect their women and children.
HOWEVER…we are at a different stage in our evolution, and there’s no reason the roles cannot be reversed if the two people involved with one another wish the roles to be reversed.
So in answer to your question…it may not be “natural” per se, but who cares? If you’re both happy, that’s all that counts, right?
“Would you ever be in a relationship such as this?”
I guess it depends. Frankly, I’d want my partner to be pulling his own weight, and I’d expect that he’d want the same of me. Granted, if circumstances permitted or required that one of us stay home and the other go out and support us both, if I loved him, I’d accept where fate had taken us.
However I wouldn’t be like that with just anyone.
Answer by Bouncy OinkIf he’s willing to do it, then I suppose it is fine. 🙂
If you forced him to quit his job or make you dinner and clean the house, then I would be a little worried. Don’t worry about it being “unnatural”, who cares? Just do what makes both of you comfortable and happy.
Answer by mister-damusThat’s how all relationships should be (regardless of who is the breadwinner). Unfortunately if you were talking about a housewife giving her husband a footrub and having his jammies ready, feminists would cry sexism and oppression and “patriarchy”.
