Me and my partner are looking to move to a remote area. Thanks to the wonders of Starlink for me it would be business as usual but for my spouse it would mean quiting her job in academia (she's a biologist) and being jobless in the traditional 9-5 sense.
Does anyone have an arrangement where one of you works and the other doesn't? How does that look like for you, especially if you don't have kids?
This works well for us, but it takes some personal traits for it to work. Neither of us is career-driven and we value our work-life balance (and work-rest balance generally). Plus I trust my wife with the money more than I would trust myself. So while this arrangement works for us, it may not be for every couple.
