Stay at home wife
My partner recently got a great job in a place in CA that's very off the grid and secluded. I'm okay with that life style I've done it before but I explained that not being able to work is a huge issue (No jobs in the area in my field of mental health). He said that he would make enough money to pay the bills and would give me an allowance of 1k a month so I could go back to school online and focus on my sewing (I have an etsy shop that I sell bags on. It doesn't make a lot of money but it's a fun hobby). Part of me thinks it sounds awesome but the other part of me feels shame if I didn't work and pay my way. I've been working since I was 14 and always been independent. Why do I feel shame surrounding this? I know he loves me and I know that if the tables were turned I would do the same for him if I was asking him to move out of state for me and making enough to support him but it just makes me feel weird. Anyone else feel this way about being a stay at home partner and being supported financially?
