I am a stay-at-home spouse. We don't need my income, I have one -- I am retired and he works full-time. He has 5 weeks vacation time every year and, if I were to work for someone else, I wouldn't have the freedom to up and go as we do. He also works 4+5 and again, I have the flexibility to be with him or for us to head off somewhere. It's great!

I am thrilled that we can afford this lifestyle - and I don't see any dilemma involved in choosing to not work - regardless whether you are male/female - given the situation you've described.
Dittos; enjoy the fruits of your labors. More of us should plan well to have a chance at living that way later on.

Yes its very possible. I did it with the ex. I didn't work for the first 3 years and then started too because I was soooo bored. I really did it to buy myself things I wanted..
