which spouse?
I’m not a partner, but my wife hasn’t worked outside the home in ten years. She spends most of her time cleaning, laundry, cooking, shopping, and taking care of the kids. I spend most of my time working and playing with the kids when I can. So far it has worked out really well. All our finances are in joint accounts and she buys what she needs or wants. We both approve or decide against any expensive purchases together. She enjoys her friends in the community. I don’t think she is lonely or bored and she brings a lot of value to the family. She is more in control of the family than I am, but she knows when to leave me alone and let me do my own thing. I don’t think things would change if I doubled my salary. We would still decide everything together.
How silly of us not to think learning new recipes isn’t intellectually stimulating 🙄
In all seriousness, I think stay at home parents are sacrificing some part of their intellectualism similar to working (outside the home) parents sacrificing some part of additional time with kids.
Different strokes for different folks as long as everyone is happy in their role. I know many women who would like to stay home but can’t because they rely on two incomes and know many women who would love to work outside the home but stay home because the cost of childcare is more than take home pay. I’m sure the same is true for some men as well but I don’t personally know any men in that situation. These people I feel sorry for because they would be so much happier doing something else.

I would imagine lonely.
