He says that I don't need a job. I'm confused. What do I do? Do I just get a job and leave him angry or do I just remain a housewife. Is this simply because of the age gap, or is it because we don't have kids yet? What do I do? Reply to this Question

Instead of worring about getting a job ask him more often about work BUT do it in a nonchalant way so he can get stuff off his chest. Also, make his experience of working easier by doing little things such as getting up with him before work and "catering" to him like getting his clothes together or helping him find his keys. I think a working man just wants to feel apprectiated so make sure your doing everything you can to make it happen. Good Luck!

I would also say that you are indeed working when at home. How much does he do around the house? A home is a job you never leave. Would you be interested in volunteer work... with kids, for instance, reading in schools, or with elderly... shopping, meals on wheels, etc. There are many ways to be appreciated, and you deserve to feel that.

He wants you to be the old fashioned woman who cooks for him the whole time when he wants at the time he wants, i'd advise you to get a job without his permission even just a small one, soo that you gain some independence!

Well, just out of curiosity, when and why does he throw these things up into your face? That would help a lot in thinking the situation over, at least on my end.
