What are you going to do if your life partner wanted to stay home with the kids and found value in that? Sorry but you have just insulted any stay at home mom, which is shameful.

I don't see the insult. It seems to me they would support the decision to stay home, but their partner clearly prefers to work.

I'm in a situation right now in which only I am working and my wife's at home with the kid. This is for visa reasons (H-4). My wife's self-esteem has plummeted because of this situation. She indeed complains it is extremely boring to stay home all the time. I completely support her desire to get back to the workforce, and I really look forward to the added benefit of our combined income.

He insulted no one. You missed the word "some" at a key point in his comment.
