I would think tying your spouse to the couch would be more likely to result in divorce/open hostility. If your spouse wanted to be at home with the kids, you wouldn't need to tie them to the couch.
Being a stay at home mom is one of the most miserable jobs if you're not cut out for it. People understand a bad day at the office, but they seem to think staying at home with a kid means it's like a vacation day all the time. You can't vent to anyone without them reminding you that you should be grateful to your husband.
My husband doesn't see a problem with it, so couples counseling is off the table. Honestly, he doesn't have to worry about another guy - I don't want someone who is going to make more demands on time I just don't have. But If I were him, I'd start worrying that being alone seems like it would be less stressful than staying with him.
- scott_s 18y agoIn all sincerity, I think you need to have a serious talk with your husband. You just joined this community, and you're telling strangers that you're considering divorce. I see that as a sign of real unhappiness.
- jacquesm 18y agoBeing a stay at home mom is a full time job and a very demanding one at that. As for the rest of your posting, all I can say is wow, you two should talk. Now. Whether he sees a problem with it or not it not really relevant, the fact is you are clearly not happy which means he has a problem.
- mattchew 18y agoCan you get your husband to take a couple of days off from work and watch the kids himself, while you are out of the house? This will educate him better than any words you could ever say. You might look around for more sympathetic listeners, too. Staying home with kids is hard work. There are SAHM support groups out there, perhaps you can find one in your area.
