And he is happy and productive working on inventions and building things and writing software without being beholden to a boss or a schedule. It's win-win really.

Yeah, put his ass out.

Rage:

My husband was unem for about 6 months in 2013-2014. We have a fairly egalitarian marriage, and while he was out of work he did step up the amount of home care he did. What I thought was telling is that he felt he deserved increased thanks for doing so. I, on the other hand, felt that the amount of shit that needed…

My (male) partner is unemployed and I (female) am employed full time. He makes me breakfast, packs my lunch for work, does the dishes and most of the laundry, vacuums, helps me with the groceries and sometimes helps me with dinner. I am kind of glad he's unemployed, to be honest.

At a party once I overheard this dudebro talking about how much he needed to get married so he'd have a woman to cook for him and stuff. I turned to him and said "Oh man, I want a wife" and he goes (very uncomfortably) "dude, I'm totally cool with lesbians." He completely missed my point and I just kind of stared at…

Definitely. I can't imagine not bringing in an income, and then just sitting on my butt all day. I honestly don't understand how a person could do that with no shame or guilt.

Arg! That not taking care of the pets thing is the worst! Seriously, how hard is it to fill up a dish? Like, it's bad enough he left the house worse while he was dicking around online, but not even making sure the puppies have access to fresh water?? That's just mean :(

Men are more visual, yet somehow can't manage to see (or smell) a sink full of dirty dishes or a hamper full of dirty clothes.

I've never been married to a man and at this point don't ever plan to be, but I regularly hear about men who once managed to prepare meals for themselves and wash their own dishes and clothes when they were single suddenly forgetting how to do any of this about a week after they got married.

What makes it worse is that I work from home, so all day I get to sit here and see him do nothing. I said at least four times today, "We need to vacuum the dining room table. It has kinetic sand all over it." He just left for karate. Is there still kinetic sand on my table? One guess.

I had a live-in boyfriend for a while. He works like 15 hours a week and more often at night while I'm a 9-5er too (45-50 hrs a week more like). I'd always get so upset coming home after working 9 hours to a fucking wreck with his shit everywhere and mud caked on my SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ORIGINAL HARDWOODS. After he…

Jesus Christ, I'm glad he's an ex.

You know, even the good ones (And my husband is one of the good ones, truly shares in all household tasks. etc.) just don't see what we see because we have been socialized to see it. For example, my husband cooks and cleans up and is generally great at both but NEVER seems to notice how gross the sink is and that it…

Definately because there should be at least some chopped veggies and and a sandwich waiting for you when you get home. And a sink empty of dishes. And all of the towels washed and folded, and put away. Like, as a basic! Come on.

My ex played WOW for a year and a half, 16 hours a day while "unemployed" - I put it in quotes because he'd often blow off job interviews because he sensed the jobs just weren't right for him.
I'd come home from work to a house that was worse than when I left it, dogs waiting anxiously for water (that pissed me off…

Whenever somebody tries to tell me that men do the same amount I'm all "politics of housework mofo"

My husband is unemployed, and I am at my wits end. MY HOUSE SHOULD BE FUCKING SPOTLESS. He does nothing. Oh and we are separated but still co-cohabiting because he is unemployed and we don't have extra money for him to move out. FML.

When the revolution comes, report him and have him sent to the reeducation camp.

It's science. Men need Testosterone in order to improve meta cognitive faculties. Testosterone is derived from androstenedione to it's bicatalytic subunit MandroRespoActivator or MRA for short. This conversion releases Tesosterone. The most potent way to increase the Androstenedione to MRA reaction, is via bright…
