Satisfactory Existence of a Male Housewife.

This nanoessay is about myself! Not about abstract political issues! Prior to discussing my situation I introduce a grading system for quality of life.

A is Excellent -- a really successful and fulfilling life.

B is Good -- some Normies like to say "Life is Good".

C is Satisfactory -- as an Aspie I say "Existence is Satisfactory".

D is Unsatisfactory -- miserable.

F is Terrible -- existence composed of Severe Suffering. This is the life of victims of severe abuse, people with severe disabilities and long term prisoners.

H is Extremely Terrible -- existence composed of Extreme Suffering. This is the life of victims of extremely severe abuse, people with worst possible disabilities and long term SuperMax prisoners.



I am a 51 yo male housewife. Thank G-d and my parents I am provided for. I do housework every day. I also wash pots and pans -- thus I am a dishwasher. I never found dishwasher jokes funny although I can make worse jokes.



Fortunately, I do not have a family of my own. I do not have responsibilities which exceed my abilities as an Aspie. Finding a job requires interacting with people. I am not stupid -- my diagnosis is High Functioning Autistic. My Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is slightly above average. Of course I am not a genius. My Emotional Quotient (EQ) is very low, thus I do not fit into Society. I am not sure I want to fit into Society! I disagree therefore I am -- remind me to put it on my avatar!



I no not drive and I do not have licence. Long time ago I traveled a lot by buses. As my weight grew, my travels decreased. Since Covid, we stay at home all the time. I do not miss offline shopping.



I have everything I need. I have good food, good housing, good medical care. Most of my 157 kg are of avian origin. I have spending money. I have Internet. I have a few duties and a lot of free time. I am definitely not suffering! Having read some stories about real Disability I understand that I do not know what real suffering is!



I have no goals in life -- I just exist. I have no major ambition. I do have minor ambitions. I hope to be able to find a company of Zoom friends who share my interests. Finding a part-time online job for $15,000 per year would be great -- I would cover some of my own expenses and have more spending money.



I feel empty and bored. Zoom friends did help a little, but it did not work out. I need to spice up my life, but anything risky is out of question. Drugs and Alcohol are out of question. Getting a drivers licence is out of question. What if my Autistic mind thinks about the latest online argument while I am driving?



My main form of Social Interaction consists of Forums and Social Media. I read flame wars a lot and participate in them sometimes. Even if it accomplishes nothing, it gives me adrenaline. It breaks my boredom and gives me emotions. Online flame wars are an addiction. But this addiction is much less harmful then drugs or alcohol. Perhaps addiction to computer games is even less harmful, but they do not excite me.



I can be harsh. I can answer insults in kind or worse. I like to be mean to those who deserve it. I have several favorite insults and curses. They are witty and mean-spirited. All five of me have been banned on Reddit. All 12 of me have been banned from Twitter. Fortunately I have not yet run into online stalkers. Should I make RedditAccount6 and TwitterAccount13? Is the risk of attracting stalkers too high?



I do not try to become famous. Fame makes stalkers unavoidable. I used to have a YouTube channel in 2011 -- 2016, but it was in Russian. I tried to start a small channel in English in 2016, but was too lazy to make more videos. I like small forums with regular users. On several forums I am one of the youngest members.

 

I am not looking for sympathy. I am looking for anyone with similar experience. Or someone who knows someone with similar experience.

 

Can you expound on what you mean by "housewife"?

 

Close to traditionally female gender role. Nothing wrong with that -- gender roles are long outdated.

 

I didn't say there was anything wrong with it. I'm not understanding why you wrote that you are a male housewife but don't have a family of your own. It's confusing and I'm trying to understand what you've posted.

 

My duties consist of housekeeping. Had I been married with children, my main duty would have been earning money.

 

So, if I'm understanding you correctly...you refer to yourself as a "house wife" because you do housekeeping while simultaneously saying that "gender roles are outdated".

Can you see how that could be confusing?

 

I mean that because gender roles are outdated, I find satisfaction in a traditionally feminine gender role. I do not envy those who work.

 

You want to spice up your life? Have you considered a venomous snake for a pet? It worked for me until I let him go back into the swamps from where it came.

 

OK. Let's try this again.

You identified yourself a male housewife.
You denounced gender roles as outdated (even though you just wrote that stereotype).

You post that you do housework.
Then you denounce people that work which implies that people who do "house work" aren't really working.

Can you see how you're contradicting yourself?

 

NO!NO! And no drugs, alcohol, driving, or anything dangerous.

 

I guess you are correct. I do not envy people who have official jobs.

 

.

Is your "husband" biologically male or female ??

.

 

Many single non-earning people view the state, community, family of origin or any support system as surrogate husband. Nothing wrong with that.

 

He was my good boy but alas, our love was forbidden by a society that just did not understand. My friends wanted me to get rid of him, pesky laws and whatnot and worried that I might get bit or some such thing or other....

I tried calling it my emotional support animal but no one was going for it...

 

No need to make fun. Many young men live with their parents and have traditionally feminine duties. Is it wrong?

 

Actually the pet suggestion may be an excellent suggestion. Maybe a more traditional pet such as a dog or cat but unconditional love is a wondrous thing.

 

My mother is 100% for.

 

Nope, do it with pride and excel at it.

 

I am proud that I did not take upon myself Normie responsibilities I can not handle -- including driving.

 

If you are not trolling (you probably are), then I'll say, you seem to be happy and content with this arrangement and this lifestyle, so, carry on. I don't really understand why you want to post it. To get more online friends? You can simply interact with people and the ones you appreciate and seem to appreciate you, you can befriend by Private Message, without the need to publicize and disclose your life situation like this. Frankly this is a very weird thread. I file it under "Department of Too Much Information."

 

You should definitely look into one but please do your research first. Pets are wonderful companions but they require attention and care. Make sure you are able to meet your obligations to the pet and they will meet yours.

 

Anyone who knows me for a long time knows that I am not trolling. I am an Aspie.

 

Some Aspies can drive. I do not need to.

 

OK, fair enough, but then, why do you experience the need to publicly disclose all these details about your personal life, diagnosis, and situation?
