AITA for getting mad at my husband for not wanting to go to work or help around the house while I do everything?

So, I (F, 32) work full time as a marketing manager. My husband (M, 34) has been out of work for a while now, and we’re really struggling financially. My salary just about covers the bills, but there’s not much left for anything else. It’s honestly been super stressful, and I feel like I’m drowning sometimes. At first, my husband said he was "looking for a job," but lately, it’s become clear he...

After receiving feedback that ignoring a spouse can be abusive, I decided to have a proper conversation with my husband about what he said recently. I explained how deeply his comments about my body, especially after just giving birth, have offended and upset me. He acknowledged that what he said was 'messed up' but insisted he cannot 'help' what he finds physically arousing. My body has th...
