So I(m36) currently have no job. I am a second year law school student. Some relevant background:

About 3 years ago my wife(f33) got a really good job opportunity so we moved to different country.

Before moving for my wife’s job i was a doctor. After moving, i decided to take a gap year, revaluate my goals and entered law school.

Additionally, i don’t really have to work. I’m the sole beneficiary of my grandparent’s trust. Plus while i was working i saved and invested smartly more than half my earnings until i got married.

So yesterday, all my courses were cancelled. Our 8yo daughter was going to a sleepover after school to work on a project. And the nany picks up the twins after kindergarten.

I basically had a free day and wanted to relax. Play some videogames, catch up on movies, etc.

Unbeknownst to me, my wife wanted to organize some sort of team building for her coworkers at our home since they finished a huge project.

I was fine with it. But since I wasn’t going to see them much i looked pretty unkempt and the house was mostly a mess, since the cleaning lady comes on Thursday

My wife doesn’t talk much about her personal life. And since this is a newer team they didn’t understand much about our finances.

So at some point I overheard one woman say something along the lines of: “What’s it like having a deadbeat husband?”

Look I’m not one to get mad at random insults. But I also dislike getting disrespected in my own home.

So while going to grab something from the kitchen i threw an off handed comment directed towards my wife’s coworkers: “What’s it like making less in a year than i do in a month?”

They were pretty red with embarrassment after my wife explained the situation.
