30-year-old inspired by TikToks declares she's quitting her job to live a "soft life" of luxury: 'She is being incredibly self-centered'

Who among us doesn't want to be a stay-at-home spouse? I don't mean a stay-at-home parent or a person who works remotely: I mean literally a stay-at-home partner. 

It's nice to daydream about what we could do all day if we weren't working. You could wake up at the crack of noon and make yourself a healthy breakfast. You take a yoga class or go for a run, grab coffee with a friend, then hit the shops and treat yourself to some new clothes. Then you come home before dinner and whip up a nice meal for you and your spouse before spending the evening watching movies with them. Then it's off to sleep before repeating it all over again! 

It sounds utterly idyllic. With no job and few responsibilities, you'd have all the time in the world to pursue your hobbies and perfect your health. But it's simply not attainable for most people. Unless one spouse is very well-off and you have no kids or major expenses, this is just a fantasy. Many couples still require both incomes to keep up with the cost of living. 

Plus, even if you could be a stay-at-home spouse, would this take a heavy toll on your significant other? What if your expensive mani-pedis came at the cost of your partner putting in long hours at the law office, or working overtime as a manager? It just might not be worth it, and every couple has to decide this for themselves. Maybe you can achieve this kind of cushy lifestyle in retirement… but this dude is baffled that his wife has suddenly started desiring the "soft life." She wants to be pampered and cared for 24/7. No more working long hours or spending her life "in misery," as she describes. Check out the full story below, plus advice from helpful people on the internet who gave him good advice about what questions to ask his wife. 

Next, this boss texted an employee asking them to work 21 days in a row: "Needless to say, it hasn't gone over well."
