My ex didn't do a very good job of taking care of our sons when I was working (something he had a problem doing).

I think there IS pressure on women to do everything including having a job, study, raise kids and do the house. This is one of the things the womens movement has to answer for. They said we could do it all, which most of us can. Just not all at the same time in my opinion. It puts far too much pressure on a woman to be everything if she happens to be married to a man who doesn't realize how much 'work' she actually does.

In my opinion (which can be supported by research), these unrealistic expectations have had a huge influence on the rising divorce rate in society today.
