I've been financially supporting my wife for 17 years, she's been a SAHM for 16, and none of that ever happened. In fact it got worse when she quit work. What the hell happened? She/we seemed more happy while she was working. By the way I was all for her quiting work and so was she. In my mind I thought this would allow her to be more feminine and have more time to do things that she enjoys, not to mention a better mom.
The woman's lib movement just really screwed up our generation I guess.
