This is actually true. Few talk about it, even in the couples therapy world. But this is a major indicator for divorce. And before anyone comments about lazy men divorcing over chores, remember the vast majority of divorces are initiated by women, not men.https://www.medicaldaily.com/more-chores-husband-does-more-likely-marriage-will-end-divorce-242815 …

Could have fooled us. We’ve been married for 29 years, together for 34 years and I promise you if I had had to do all the “traditional housewife stuff” we would have been divorced long ago and my business would have suffered too. Sounds like patriarchal nonsense to us.

It's about the female perceiving her husband as a low value male, the momment the woman starts giving him orders she starts seeing him as "inferior" and her primal instinct starts to rot the marriage, it could not be your case but many women involuntary act like this.

I strongly suspect it’s that many insecure men use chores to earn sex. When their wife doesn’t feel close to them because emotional intimacy is zilch, sex doesn’t happen, and the insecure men become resentful. They keep doing chores but snap constantly so she walks on eggshells.

Helping around the house as a partner is a lot different from insecure men who collapse into domestic servitude as a means of trying to earn approval (which they only equate with sex). There are some truly dominant men who run the domestic household while the wife works.

Doing every single chore in the house while also working full-time while their female partner holds down a part-time job and contributes to 0% of the house work, and he sets up this arrangement due to low self-esteem as a means of earning her approval and gratitude for sex.

I see this exact pairing frequently in my practice.
