I don’t know if the right place to post this. I posted a rant and people were attacking me for being selfish.
My partner works too much. I think if he continues he’s going to burn out. I’ve tried to help him relax. I’ve told him to take days off, to prioritise and learn how to say no. He refuses to. So now a lot of chores fall on me. I have to nag for him to even cook a meal in a week. He doesn’t want to stop working so much no matter what.
So apparently I’m selfish because I complain about because a man in his 20s is supposed to work hard to build his career.
So my partner refuses to have a better work and life balance for his mental health and for our relationship. But because he’s a man and I’m a woman I’m supposed to support him and shut up.
I work too. I’ve been on zoom call while cooking and I would mute when cutting vegetables. I don’t sit around everyday looking through the window. I just know there’s more to life than work.
Why is woman’s career so irrelevant to people compare to their male partner’s career?

they say it's toxic masculinity but watch them divorce their husbands when they downgrade their jobs or lose them

If a man's career matters more to him than his wife, he won't have a particularly strong or happy marriage...

Both the original post and this one are missing the points relevant to the situation that would help fixing it.
