This is a great topic!
My wife is very supportive. And she was even supportive in the years before I made more than a few nickels. We do have the occassional spat, the mostly stems from the fact my "free time" is spent on the business... So I hit the overworked feeling way more often than she does (plus my daytime job requires more energy).
I work my @$$ off though. We try to split everything 50-50... And what is always forgotten in that equation is the time I spend working from home. So taking care of our son and all the work around the house (cleaning, yard stuff, meal perparation, etc) is pretty evenly divided overall. Just when she goes to bed early or watches movies or whatever - I'm working. We have had some tension when I've tried to switch it to a 40-60 arrangement (which does bother me), but my relationship/family is more important than anything else which can draw my time.
