NTA and husband wants to be SAHD without kids?! Divorce?
“NTA Your long term goals no longer align, people get divorced for smaller reasons than this. He’s not a SAHD if there are no kids. He’s just jobless at that point. Sure there’s ways he can contribute domestically, but you even said, there isn’t much to be done. If you don’t want to trade difference of the absence of his income for whatever work he could do domestically, then you don’t have to. To each their own. If you guys had discussed this and BOTH agreed to it before, then whatever floats your boat, but since you are not okay with it, this is a problem. You having to support the two of you financially is a huge ask of him, and you are well within your rights to say no. He seems fine with leeching off his parents, but it still won’t be enough to achieve the success you want if your income has to support the two of you. What happens if his parents and him fight, or they die, or can no longer give him money? If he wants this kind of lifestyle, he can do it himself, you are not obligated to support him. He discovered he loves staying at home and not having to work? No shit, so does the vast majority of the population, people aren’t going to work just for fun lmao. He’s in CS, he should just fine a remote job”
