I can agree with alot of this. I definitely became "domesticated" being a sahd, even though i still worked. My W was the breadwinner and i took on the role of trying to be super dad bit neglected any career ambitions. Big mistake.
Also, my W never once has done any outdoors work at the house. The crazy thing is when my W was a sahm, i worked 65-70 hours a week to pay the bills but my W never once appreciated it. I dont want a pat on the back for doing my job, but tellimg me that "i wasnt sacrificing, and that she was" by staying home with the baby definitely stung. (When we switched roles she then changed it to her sacrificing by working and me staying at home...her pile was worse no matter what)
This topic is making for some great conversation, and i think a lot of us can learn from it. Another thing, i never realized that all the work i was doing at home, while appreciated, wasnt really moving the needle for my W. She really needed me to hit on her LL's. So the effort and thought was there on my part, but there wasnt a plan or know how.
