Obviously I don't know anything about your relationship other than what you've said, but it sounds to me like she may not trust you in defining the situation as temporary and that she is perhaps a little afraid that it might become permanent.

Personally I don't think there's anything wrong with the idea of stay-at-home dads. She probably doesn't either, but I think there's a big difference between choosing/planning that scenario, and feeling like she's being forced into it.
