UNBELIEVABLE: Husband hates wifes new job | History Defined
Maintaining a household, taking care of kids, and managing a career all at once is more work than the vast majority of the population can handle. It can be a test of any marriage when partners need to renegotiate who does what. Miscommunication, resentment, stress, and misguided expectations are just some of the pitfalls people might encounter.
A man turned to the internet for advice when his wife’s new job ended up overwhelming him with housework and childcare. The comments quickly spiraled into a debate on gender norms, housekeeping standards, and how to communicate in a marriage.

"She was able to keep up with a few things around the house". Mate, now you know what those "few things" are.

So maybe it's his turn to find a WFH job so that he can keep up with "a few things" around the house? It was fine while it was her, obviously it was quite a list if he's in over his head now.

Why are women so often expected to live our lives and also prop up a man? It happens at home, at work, everywhere. We aren't here just to make your life easier at the expense of our own time and energy...the only two resources money can't buy and you can never get back once lost. Yes, of course, not all men, not all women...but it's a systemic negative against all women when men blame us for not fixing them or sacrificing ourselves so they can feel like a man. Pull your weight if you aren't, and stop assigning us a role to make your life easier.

What does any of what you’ve said have to do with the post? This was an equal partnership that now has shifted to being not equal. 🤷🏽♀️
