Nothing indicates it was equal. He took the kids to school in the morning and SHE DID THE REST. He states that since the change, the meals are crappy, the house is not clean, the laundry is backed up and the yard is in disrepair. IF it was 50/50 there would not be this substantial difference. He also states that she did the housework while she worked full time from home.

But was it really equal though? I don't think they did a 50/50 division of household chores and things to begin with. And what does an equal partnership look like? I think that's different for everyone. There are trad wives who feel they are in an equal partnership. I'm not denying this man has a big problem, but this situation is also fraught with subconscious biais when it comes to the roles men, women and family play. Perhaps a bit cold, but how about making a list of the pros and cons of the present situation, define what's important to both of them and what they are willing to compromise on and what solutions are possible. In short: negotiate.

You really believe what is posted above is taken from a real relationship? It doesn't, in the least, strike you as odd that the post checks off every complaint made by women through the years in almost perfect order?

It wasn’t equal. He took the kids to school and she did the rest. It worked out really well for him but less so for her because she was eager to shake things up with a new job.
