Husband's Resentment Leads to Divorce, But Wife Takes Control

A husband divorced his stay-at-home wife after she decided she never wanted to return to work, causing financial strain and resentment in their marriage. Disagreements over finances, including the husband feeling used for money, are common reasons for divorce. The therapist advises couples to thoroughly discuss their financial values and expectations before getting married. While having a stay-at-home parent can benefit a child's development, it can also put pressure on the sole breadwinner and negatively impact the family's financial and emotional well-being. Stay-at-home fathers also face societal pressure to be the breadwinners, which can lead to stress and mental health issues.
