Is it a bad to become fully financially dependent on your spouse?
Post Body

My husband recently suggested that I quit my jobs to restore my mental health (work is a big factor in why it’s so shit right now) as much as I would LOVE to do that (like who wouldn’t want to just not work?) I find myself refusing because I think being fully dependent on him would make me seem like a total loser/failure. He is more than capable of taking on my few inexpensive bills as he makes 10x more than me but it’s just the principle that holds me back. Was curious if anyone is in a relationship where you just stay at home and don’t work? No kids so it’s not like I would be SAHM (which is a full time job on its own shoutout mamas) but I would obviously do as much as I could to make it seem like I am doing my fair share and not just sitting around all day… examples being clean, meal prep, take care of our dog, run errands and do all the stuff we struggle to get through as both of us work full time… I even considered just quitting one job so that way I would at least have my own income even if it wouldn’t be much and would still most likely need his support in bills… He is totally on board with whatever I decide but he says that the option is out there if I ever want to take it… I also know that many of you are going to suggest a new job altogether and that is definitely something I have been looking into but quite frankly nothing interests me and I don’t want to go into a new job that is worse than or just as stressful as the current one I have… (have severe anxiety) I would absolutely adore working from home but that is impossible without prior experience it seems.. but I don’t know much so correct me if I’m wrong!
