‘Honestly, I don’t want to be one’: Working woman rejects husband's desire for her to be his ‘trad wife’, scares him with mentions of divorce to open his eyes

If you've been surfing the internet recently, we're sure that you ladies have been seeing an uptick in "trad wife" or "traditional wife" content. The term typically describes a woman who doesn't have stereotypical "job" and instead, tasks herself with taking care of her family's children and household duties among other things.

The tasks that are attached to the role of a "trad wife" are not easy, but some women prefer to experiment and chase a career outside of their family dynamic. The woman in this next story prefers to chase her dream of becoming a forensic counselor, but her husband has other desires for her.

He had increasingly become more insistent about her staying at home and taking care of the house, despite not having the funds to do so. She finally puts her foot down and suggests a divorce if they cannot see eye-to-eye on this situation. Scroll to read.
