My wife is disabled with severe chronic pain and so can’t guarantee that she will be able to work on any given day which puts a huge damper on her employment prospects. So I’m basically the sole bread winner at the moment, but not particularly out of choice. She’s thinking about starting a home business painting and making jewelry. I’m hoping she makes it big and then sells out. I’d have no problem being a kept man.
