I admire you guys for making it work. I too agreed to be a house husband part-time freelance copywriting stay at home Dad. This allowed my wife to go out to work to build a career. Sadly, she fell in with a wrong crowd and started to have a devastating affair with her male boss that brought nineteen years of marriage to a crashing halt. That was the end of that. It cost me dear, not just financially but also in terms of the three children I had cared for and doted on. She kept her career and affairs going and simply farmed our children out to family and friends, anybody as long as it wasn’t me. It was wqhat they call Parental Aleination. I think she was afraid that I might have applied for and got custody. I did neither. Not seen nor heard from them for more than fifteen years.
