A man has sparked a debate after telling his wife that she would have to do most of the housework as a stay-at-home partner. He said that since he is the one working, she should take care of the housework. His wife was upset and said she didn't want to spend her days doing all the housework. The man argues that it's the job of a stay-at-home partner.

Now, she's not talking to him. What do you think? Is he being misogynistic or is he right that it's her job as a stay-at-home partner? Share your thoughts in the comments on this situation.

Who should do the housework when one partner is a SAHW?

A man and his wife got into an argument over household chores after she becomes a stay-at-home partner. The wife wanted to split the chores, but the husband believes that since she would be home all day, she should do most of the housework, while he only has to pick up after himself.

The wife thinks that she isn't a maid and doesn't want to do all the housework. The husband argues that it's the job of a stay-at-home spouse, and if she doesn't want to do it, she can go back to her old job. The two are not talking now.

Who do you think should be responsible for the housework in this situation? Share your thoughts and opinions in the comments below, along with Reddit.

NTA. Being a stay-at-home partner means managing the house and keeping it in order. OP's wife wants a lifestyle that she can't have. Chilling and having fun while the sole provider does most of the work. 👀

NTA. Being in a relationship is a partnership, and if one spouse is bringing in the moola, I say the lions share of housework should fall on the SAH spouse. It makes zero sense, regardless of gender 💪
