In a viral post published to Reddit’s popular “AmITheA**hole” forum, a woman under the name u/KookyMeat22 submitted her story. Her post has 5,000 upvotes and 600 comments.

The Reddit user says she and her husband work full-time. Recently, her husband was promoted and has been given a hefty raise. He now makes twice as much as she does. Since the promotion, he has been urging her to quit her job to become a “full-time housewife.”

According to MadameNoire, some signs that your spouse wants you to become a housewife includes telling you your job is negatively impacting you, having you do all the cleaning, making plans without asking and getting upset when you make plans yourself.

While both are working, they split the chores around the house. If she were to stay at home, she would be in charge of cleaning and cooking. The Redditor stated that she liked the way things were when it came to household duties. However, her husband doesn’t like the idea of doing chores.

“I admit that I would love to not have to work, but the tradeoff being offered is not appealing to me,” she explained.

She continued: “I suggested that my husband should use some of the extra income to hire a maid service, and then neither of us would have to do the chores. He accused me of ‘just wanting to coast off of his money without doing anything’ and has been annoyed all morning that I suggested it.”

Redditors were quick to comment in her defense.

“do not quit your job. hiring a cleaning service while you work is ‘coasting off his money”, yet he wants you to give up your source of income and depend on his money? this is a man who wants to trap you, with no financials, no job, entirely dependant on him. [Not the A**hole]. " u/Juliennix wrote, receiving the top comment with 13,000 upvotes.

“So he says you are ‘coasting off his money’ but isn’t he wanting to ‘coast off your labor.’ [Not the A**hole]. And whatever you do, don’t quit your job. Ever,” replied u/_plant_obsessed_9.

“[Not the A**hole]. HE IS TELLING ON HIMSELF. If hiring a maid is such a problem, imagine when you spend ‘his money’ when you are the maid. He is telling you he views his income as his and you will be under his thumb,” u/wildferalfun exclaimed, “Don’t do it. Don’t succumb to this trap. He will not treat you like a partner once you have no income because you aren’t being treated like one now.”
