Conflicted about transitioning from corporate to stay at home partner

Hi Ladies. I’m 34F, relatively successful corporate hustler who’s just very tired of the grind. I feel my healthiest, most emotionally stable when I’m off work and spending time doing more traditionally femme activities – cooking for the family, pottering in the garden and generally more in the flow than having every minute of my life spent answering to corporate. I’ve earned well, I’ve saved well and can support myself fully. My partner is also a well settled man with an income that can support the both of us comfortably. Knowing all of this however isn’t making the decision to make the shift any easier.. I find myself feeling very scared of societal judgement, if I would lose my “identity” somehow and if I’m letting women down and myself down for not being able to continue on working. Please respond if you relate. Would love to hear what the community…


Hi Ladies.

I’m 34F, relatively successful corporate hustler who’s just very tired of the grind.

I feel my healthiest, most emotionally stable when I’m off work and spending time doing more traditionally femme activities – cooking for the family, pottering in the garden and generally more in the flow than having every minute of my life spent answering to corporate.

I’ve earned well, I’ve saved well and can support myself fully. My partner is also a well settled man with an income that can support the both of us comfortably.

Knowing all of this however isn’t making the decision to make the shift any easier.. I find myself feeling very scared of societal judgement, if I would lose my “identity” somehow and if I’m letting women down and myself down for not being able to continue on working.

Please respond if you relate.
Would love to hear what the community comes up with.
