When a husband calls his wife a homemaker and belittles her work

When a woman's husband calls her a homemaker and belittles her work, she feels hurt and angry. After years of feeling like their relationship was unequal, she finally exploded in self-righteous rage. The couple had the biggest screaming match in their lives, and she locked up his PS5 in their safe and changed the combination. Despite feeling like an a**hole for reacting so strongly, she knows she was right to stand up for herself, and she's ready to have a long talk with her husband to decide how they want to proceed. In this post, she shares her story and asks for advice: Am I an AH?
