Reply To: Role of wife of CD

[Darcy Grigsby]

I lead a fairly traditional role as husband/provider. My wife works as a nurse (two 12hr shifts a week). We split a lot of the household chores but she does the bulk of the indoor tasks while I do the outdoor labor. That said I feel a great deal of pressure as the primary breadwinner. With nearly 100% of my free time being consumed by the needs of the family. When speaking to my therapist it has been revealed that that pressure is one of the root causes of my dressing. I use it to escape the pressure/demands of being that provider all the time. So yes I would love to be a stay at home spouse. I would love to maintain the home, but I would do it in the clothing that brings a smile to my face!
