Oof, this was me. Breadwinning wife, mom of 3. I paid all of the penalties in this article except for infidelity (that I know of at least lol). Our marriage didn’t make it but my children now have a vibrant, happy mother of 3 instead of a miserable, stressed out mother of 4.

I’ve been there too, and honestly, neither is ‘easier.’ Corporate life comes with deadlines and expectations, but staying at home has this invisible mental load that’s just as exhausting. The hardest part is the constant judgment society places on either role.

Being a breadwinning wife led in part for me to divorce and a few failed relationships.

Women still like to be taken care of, and men have egos that make them feel lesser than in such a relationship.

Interesting- I’ve always been the bread winning wife, and have not had any of these happen.

I wonder if the circumstances in which the wife becomes the breadwinner influence this.

Before we had kids my husband and I had many discussions that led to him quitting to stay home when our oldest was born. Part of our agreement was that he wouldn’t be stressing about getting back to work at the preschool stage or working part time - and we adjusted spending so that one income was enough.

I travelled a lot so he took on most of the housework, neither of us cheated nor are we divorced and I think we are both pretty happy.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
