"I only do a part-time job but it gives me independence," Nikki Pinnington, 44, tells the BBC. "Now I will have to rely on my husband for the first time in my life. It's unnerving."
Part-time hairdresser Nikki Pinnington has been furloughed since March and home-schooling her 11-year-old son Cosmo, while her husband - the family's main breadwinner - continues to work full time.

See the problem here? She's never been 'independent' of her husband, he's the main breadwinner, she just does her part time job for pocket money and now she has to rely on her husband for that, she suddenly isn't 'independent' any more. The fact he does the heavy lifting, paying for their house and puts food on the table, is just taken for granted.
