I would ask him if he wanted to go do something with his friends, but he said if he could be home and play Xbox, he'd be fine. But now I wonder if that made him feel like a househusband? I can only speculate since we don't really do much talking now.
I have been working from home for about 10 years now, and I wasn't really active outside of work/home before. Now, throw in my W's career, some kids, dinners, homework, etc, and I was pretty much making most of the money and taking care of the household. I'm also pretty cheap, so I didn't go out much....I'd stay home and play games as well.
I can now say without feeling bad that I hated it. I felt like I was sacrificing my time, my ability to socialize, for the betterment of the family. Probably would have been ok except over time, my W took me for granted and didn't make similar sacrifices. She'd go out for drinks with the girls and I'd be sitting at home cooking dinners and giving kids bathes. Eventually, it seemed like every meeting she had involved drinks somewhere.
Didn't seem like much of a "team" and I built up a lot of resentment over time.
