I'd probably get bored off my ass with only housework to do, so I'd take this some of the time if my partner raked in €12M/y. And I'd hire a cleaner.
It's an interesting question really. You have enough money & time to have your every need covered, and have had so for the past several years. You've done everything you've set out to do when money was no longer an object, you've seen & done it all. What now?
Divorce her and take some of the money.
Now I'm free to do whatever I want, and I get a hefty amount of money.
I do not advocate for marrying and divorcing someone for lonely.
Unless that person is a proper bellend, like Musk, Zuckerberg, whoever the hecks in charge of google. Bezos
This reminds me of a story I saw some years ago on a subreddit, not sure if it was a revenge subreddit or MaliciousCompliance, of a slightly older man stocking shelves at a major supermarket. This older man seemed well-groomed, well-spoken, all that jazz, and he drove a Jaguar to work. So one day our OP asked for his story.
Turns out the man, several years before, had a job in upper management at a Fortune 500 company, making easily six figures before bonuses. One day, he and his wife end up divorcing, and she demands 45% of his income, as well as the house. One of the lawyers manages to negotiate a different deal, where she gets 75% of his income, but he gets to keep the house. No number, no minima, just "75 percent of his income."
So when judge signs off on it, this old man quits his Fortune 500 job and takes a minimum wage job, stocking shelves at a supermarket.
Of course, the ex-missus is pissed, now that her income has basically dried up, but there's little she can do.
Get a homelab, self-host everything, email included.
I'm pretty sure "stay at home" does not mean you are a prisoner and are only allowed to do the dishes. With that kind of cash behind you, you would mostly have to make sure the house runs fine, but not necessarily alone. Then, it gives you some time to do whatever you want. Heck, even if you really stay at home most of the time, you could have rooms for games, training, making stuff, etc.
Although bringing money back is a requirement, it is not the motivation for a lot of people. Making stuff they enjoy is. If I was not burdened by the need to pay for food & a roof, I believe I would still design software, code, and have hardware projects. The only thing that would change is their scope, not being driven by customer craziness.
Learn, study, figure out how to be a better person, see if I can figure out one of the universe's mysteries. Put effort towards helping others. Or play video games.
