Women take only the positive from work into the home (and vice versa), while for men it’s the stress that spills over

This seems to be the exact opposite of what I've experienced in two marriages. The last thing I want to talk about when I get him is work, especially the negative aspects of it.

My mum never talked about anything else but how unfair it is at work and how exhausting and everyone is a bitch and an asshole and blah blah blah, but my dad only complained maybe twice a month... From personal experience I can say that when my mum had a bad day at work, it was gonna be a bad day for everyone

How role jugglers maintain relationships at home and at work: A gender comparison.

**ten Brummelhuis, Lieke L.,Greenhaus, Jeffrey H.**Journal of Applied Psychology, Jul 23 , 2018, No Pagination Specified

We examined how demands and resources in a role relate to the quality of relationships in another role. In Study 1, 26 cohabiting dual-earner couples reported on five consecutive days about their work demands and work resources,

26 couples, 5 work days, we don't know where it was done and we don't know what jobs were involved. I don't think this study says anything conclusive. The paper is still paywalled.

emotional support they provided to the spouse, and relationship quality among family members. Dyadic data analysis revealed that husbands’ work demands were negatively related to family relationship quality through reduced emotional support provided to their wives. Wives’ work resources were positively related family relationship quality through enhanced emotional support provided to their husbands. In Study 2, we explored whether the same gender pattern existed in the home-to-work direction. Sixty-four coworker dyads reported on five days about their home demands and resources,

64 couples, 5 days, slightly larger study, but not significantly so.

emotional support provided to their coworker, and relationship quality among team members. For male employees, home demands were negatively related to team relationship quality through reduced emotional support they provided to their coworker. For female employees, home resources were positively related to team relationship quality through enhanced emotional support they provided to their coworker. The findings suggest that relative to men, women prevent role demands from reducing the support they provide in another role and use role resources to enhance the support they provide in another role, thereby strengthening relationship quality in that role.

This is so vague, there is no way to tell what they are referring to.

More fluff.

In other words, either women are more likely to lie about how stress effects them or women are less likely to have genuinely stressful jobs.
