If she's doing the cooking and the cleaning she's going to think of that as a job, and most women do. Women today think of your money as their money. So be ready for that.

you get a whole new division of labour, you earn it, she spends it

We already decided on a 200 dollar a month allowance for both of us.

foolish women of today - they could have all the money

Millions of families have lived like that in the 20th century, it's perfectly normal.
1. Your wife will get bored.
2. You'll appreciate her less.

So let her cook in batches for several days in a row so she has some free time and don't forget that housework is ****ing hard.

It's mind numbing too.

Im under no illusion that my work day is going to end when I walk I walk through the door

The missus is going to be starved for adult conversation so when I walk in Im going to be the focus of her pent up adult conversation.

Her concern is that she wont neccesarily be adult about her how she requests conversation frome me, or how she behaves

We are both adults now and we have both been around the block so its not the first time for either of dealing with these problems

I enjoy being at this site, with similarly mature adults who are facing the same problems. This is a far more accurate peer group that I just dont have in real life

There you go, Alain De Botton's bestselling books summarized in one sentence.

The result of basing a career on stating the crashingly obvious, at tedious length.

Or, as he would put it-

"Some people could summarise my books in one sentence. Other people might summarise them in more sentences, or perhaps by single words. Others might choose to summarise them with diagrams or graphs. Some people might choose not to summarise my books at all, while still others might not know of my very existence. The end. Please buy more of my books."

Anyone have any experience with this?

What's hard about it?
What are some benefits?

You can use your sole-breadwinner status as leverage to coerce your spouse in being at your beck and call and do everything you command.

That's, um, not really how it works.
