My husband is the primary breadwinner, and I stay home with the kids. But our marriage is not ‘traditional.’

I have a husband and is the assumptions people have made about me since I left my career and lived a mostly home-based life with my kids. Many seem to think I’m not ambitious, maybe not even very educated or capable.

This has been hurtful and has made it harder to embrace this traditional-looking life. However, I know what’s true about me and about my marriage, and that’s all it really takes. That, and a little bravery to simply do what’s right for you.
