Me and my husband (f31, m33) have been married for almost a year, and we usually have a good arrangement for sharing chores.

He's recently gotten really swamped at work, if he's not working in the office then he's either working at home or tired. What this means is that he's not keeping up with his portion of the housework and I have to do most of it.

I do understand it's his job, but this is a lot for me as well so I decided to hire a maid to come in every couple of weeks. She came around for the first time a few days ago.

My husband isn't at all happy with this and is saying it's not much and I should be able to take care of it myself, and he does what he can. If I really need a maid, then he's telling me to pay for her using my personal savings.

I told him that's not fair on me, and we've been going back and forth on this. I know it's a silly issue but it's kind of blown up now, and my sister suggested I make a post here. So AITA?
