But in many cases, ppl do NOT marry their "equal" in this regard. So, how do YOU suggest that someone, whose partner (man or woman), is the major breadwinner be spending their time if not at work, helping to earn *significant* money to help support the household.
Does it truly seem unreasonable that the person at home make their contribution AT HOME? Isn't that a valuable contribution?
Surely you aren't suggesting that someone who brings in most of the income needed to run the home ALSO spend 50% of their non-working time doing things like cooking & cleaning? When there is another partner perfectly available to be doing at least some of these things?
As to your specific question: yes, I think I could do what I said in hour hours. I have a pretty large house, but I think I could manage if I was spending 4 consistent hours *everyday* (mon-fri) working steady cleaning & cooking. Thats 20 hours a week!
Tho, TBH, I work so I've never tried. My husband & I split up our duties according to the method I've described previously.
What is so interesting is that the OP is asking why he cannot "relax" and why is his fiancee nagging after he came home from a hard day at work. He is not nagging that he is disgusted that his girl did not clean up the house while he was gone. She is nagging and he is complaining about her nagging.
I say to the OP, communicate more, dump her, or hire maid services.
