writes:I have been with my partner for 3.1/2 years. Previously I was married for 20 years. I am 47 and have had my own business for 8 of the years I was married the rest of the time I had children and a home. Never was I made to feel like my job as a mother and a homemaker was not adequate. I worked for the first year and a half of being in this relationship, but because of consistent travelling with my partner I gave up my business, it left me with so much time to look after him and the home and also be available to travel. We have a holiday house also which all of these things take a bit of juggling. At first my partner said he wanted to be the breadwinner and for me to be at home, but hes now getting resentful and saying things in front of friends which is extremely embarrassing. I have 2 grown up children and 2 grandchildren, the thought of starting a business again is monumental but Im furious Im in this position after discussions. What to do? Reply to this Question

 I feel like there might be some info missing here. Why would he want to be the bread winner, and then act like a jerk when you quit your job?
What is he saying that is embarrassing you?
Tell him you'll go back to work if that will make him happy, but then you need him to kick in for cleaning service, property management company for the holiday house, and all things you can't do because you are working. See if that changes his tune.
