Everyone wants someone to take care of them and support them, and there's nothing wrong with being a stay at home dad, but the key is getting to that point and not just surviving, but succeeding to some degree in your life until you get there.
Learn to depend on yourself for everything, face the prospect of being homeless/bankrupt/starving and decide how you intend to solve that problem on your own. Finding a mystery future power wife to support you is not a solution.
My bf Matt, his dad was a stay at home dad and you know what he did before that? He ran his own landscaping business, and it was successful. He did that for years. Don't get angry at the world for it "being wrong to want to be a stay at home dad", understand that you can't be that right out of the gate.
Meet new people and start trying to be something more than you are now professionally at least. If there's nothing else that you want to do, then at least look at things monetarily weighed against your Talents. You could be an EMT, you're great at that kind of work, and it likely pays better than what you make now.
You need to decide what you want for yourself that is reasonably achievable. Not just what your heart desires.
