My BFF married a guy who has a TON of social anxiety issues. He can get a job but only keeps it for about 2 months before he implodes and just can't take it. She doesn't mind at all. They finally decided to take the kids out of daycare and he stayed at home with them. Now they are in school and he's found that he can help my friend out a little(she's a graphic artist). He doesn't drive due to his anxiety so the kids carpool with a neighbor and she takes them to school and drops them off. It works really well for them. He does all the cooking and cleaning and twice a week they do take out so he can get out of the kitchen. It works for them. My friend is actually ecstatic because she's always cared more about her art and working then staying home being domestic. So for them it works really well
My husband is disabled and I resent it. In the beginning we were fine because he cleaned the house, our sex life was great and he could make himself useful. now he's always in and out of the hospital for something. We haven't had sex in months and he's completely useless around the house. I won't leave because I made a commitment but it's really hard to not just go off on him all the time. He was and to a certain extent is verbally abusive which doesn't really do much for the situation. We still make it work though.
