I'm a "stay at home" boyfriend

To hell with the jerks who criticize and make “comments.” You have found your niche — what you are good at — and that is homemaking. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with that. I say marry that girl of yours and you can both have the life you love, assuming she is just as happy with the arrangement as you are (from your description it sounds like she is). And why shouldn’t she be? She is doing work she enjoys and is making enough money, and she has a man at home who can focus on making her happy.

My husband and I have had the same arrangement. I had the babies and he took care of them while I went back to work after a few months (he worked full time until they were born and occasional short term jobs when we wanted to pay for extras like remodeling the house). Now the babies are bright, happy, well adjusted teens.

No one has the right to judge something that works. If your friends are jerks, make new friends. You’d be surprised how common this alternative arrangement is in bigger cities.

Good luck to you!
