Ask HN: Ok for a man to depend on his wife’s stable income to pursue indie dev?

Don't ask the internet. Ask your wife.
Yup, make a plan and make sure she understands what you want to do and that she is ok with it. You have to live with her so it might as well be a happy time.
Yes, it's perfectly fine for a man to use the wife's stable income to indie dev as long as both parties agree to it. I would discuss the plans and agree to some guidelines and metrics so that it's not open-ended.
If it’s okay with the wife then why not? No one else’s place to say really.
You might want to make some more formal agreement as to how long you have to take off and how much equity that buys them.
This is a really odd question.
Outside of old fashioned gender roles, yes, it's perfectly fine as long as you both agree.

Hell yeah, why do you think I'm getting married? :P
As long as there is mutual support, I'd not worry. I'd be proud to be supported by my future wife.
if she wasn't your wife already I would've told you she's marriage material!
Gender has nothing to do with it.
Yep, but maybe learn to cook so when they come home it's all good.
