Some guys do tend to think that way and if your guy is one of those GET OUT NOW!!! If you are a homemaker or a stay at home mom that is a job as well and the husband needs to realize that. Although i have to say if the wife is a stay at home mom/homemaker everything in the home (cleaning, laundry, shopping, cooking etc.) should always be done and done well because again, It is a job.

My husband works 7 days a week for someone else plus runs his own business. I stay at home and raise our twin two year old boys. I WORK...I just get paid inhugs and kisses instead of money. My husband is very supportive and no he does not think he has all the control. We make all decisions together and he helps with household chores because thats what marriage is all about.

You may need to define "work". If you are referring to the husband earning an income and the wife staying home and raising children, keeping the home in working order and otherwise managing their personal life..then I think all should be fine. He could work 10 jobs and not be as stressed as a homemaker.

Whether he thinks he has all the control or not depends on his personality. I wouldn't want to be with a guy who would think that. If he's smart he'll be able to understand that homemaker is still a difficult career, especially if there are children.

I stay home and my husband works, not once did he act like he is in control someties he plays around but I just pop him on his head and he starts laughing and stuff. So guess really depends on your man.
I have a friend with same situation and he was always throwing the fact that he worked and she didn't in her face so she went and got her own job and put her kid in daycare, they still argue and stuff but she makes her own money.

No, and if you have to ask this question, you don't know your husband. If he doesn't want you to work, then offer to share the load by handling financial matters and let him know that keeping a clean home, putting supper on the table when he comes home, is pretty much a job on it own.

Controlling people will try and control the situation NO MATTER WHAT. Its about the person in the relationship not if they are the bread winner.

If he acts in a controlling manner because he thinks he can, it's because you have allowed him to. If you two have agreed that it is OK for you to stay home and be a homemaker then he needs to change his attitude.
