My wife (37/f) lacks ambition and has zero confidence. She works but earns less than minimum wage, does no housework, etc. I (34/m) feel like I'm 90% of the marriage and starting to feel trapped, like it will never change. What would you do in my shoes?

First thing first, I never understood why people treat careers as a definite life goal/ambition? Some of us just have no interest in that rat race and a simple job which can provide you with sufficient money to survive + abit of savings is just more than enough. I don’t know I Guess I don’t really agree with that point of yours. I have always seen people settling for jobs that they love or just part time. They want more out of life than just giving your 40 hours + travelling + house chores and that really gives you barely any freedom and energy.

As for the housework, yeah it’s really unacceptable when a partner doesn’t put in her part for where she stays too. I suggest you to start communicating and telling her your side. How you really want her to show and put in the effort for this family. How you would really appreciate and she just needs to change and think for you as a partner too.
