Role Reversal
Posted: Tue Dec 07, 2004 5:51 pm
Is there anyone out there who's gotten into a role reversal situation with their spouse? My spouse (I used to say wife) manages a major sports program for disabled youth in our area. I work from home in sales, going out 1-2 times a week visit local customers. I've never had any problem in doing my share around the house, but over these past few months its evolved to where I'm the homemaker (we have no kids). I've come to enjoy it and get satisfaction from it. Along with this, over the past few weeks I've become her volunteer administrative assistant and ended my involvement with a group I'd been with for a long time. I'm expected to attend events with her, socialize, look nice (although fairly androgynous) and make conversation. My therapist thinks it's a positive step and I just want to formalize (somehow) the situation. Is there anyone else in this situation?
