He went there so I went there Update

I had made a post about how my husband wants me to be a sahm even though I told him way before we had kids I would never do that. I'm a welder and love my career and I'm not giving it up. I gave him the option to he a stay at home dad then he made a bunch of sexist comments about how thats a women's job and I need to stop playing working man and be a mom. We eventually decided to just let it go but he brought it up again. But he decides to say "Maybe I wouldn't want you to stay home if you stayed in you lane". I asked what that meant and he says I should have gotten a career in something meant for women like preschool teacher. I told him I am a great welder and he mumbles "For a women". I finally knew what this was about. So I went there. I went up to him and said "I know why you want me to stay home. You're intimated by me". He asked how is that and I said "Maybe because your wife makes 3x your salary". I never bring up salary but I was sick of him. I then said "Or because you know if you walked out that door right now, I could support myself and our baby without you". I told him he must not know who he married and if be wanted a preschool teacher he should have married one, and that be better get with the program because I'm not a fucking push over that will do whatever he wants and if he's do intimated by having me as a wife he can leave. I pointed to the door. He just stood there with a look on his face and I wish I could take a picture. I picked up our baby and went to the bedroom. A couple hours later he came up to say he went too far and he's sorry. I was calm and said we are supposed to be a team and support each other. Not against each other. He apologized again and said he is proud of me. I asked was he ready to drop this petty career jealousy and he said yes. Hes been chill since that. I just want to say I have nothing against sahm but its not for me. I had a few comments of people saying to stay home or do it until the baby is in school age but I'm not gonna make myself depressed to stay home. Working moms are good moms. Sahm are good moms and my husband is lucky he got with the program.

Edit: I did ask him why he was acting like that because I've never seen him act or say anything like that. I was a welder before me met so its not like I got the career during our relationship. He says he doesn't really want to talk about it rn so I dropped it.

Update: Update: So we talked some more and he told me why he's been feeling the way he feels. It's because of his dad. Idk why he continues to talk to his dad when all his dad does is emotionally abuse him and his mom. But pretty much was telling him how disappointed our baby will be when they see the wife is wearing the pants while he has a dead end job. He's a high school football coach. We talked it over and I did apologize for bringing up salary and he said he deserved that. But I asked him how many students he helped get into college on a football scholarship. How he's turned around some kids behavior. A lot of the teen boys look up to him. I did say if he wants to find another career he can but to do it for him not to compete with me. He apologized again and we are good now. We are a team, if one of us succeeds we both do. Wish me luck on going back to work next month.
