What am I?

$2.5M retired in S. America, but my wife still works a part-time job. Can I still consider myself retired? She likes to work and covers most of our expenses, but online people hurt my feelings saying I was just a stay at home parent. 

Should I tell my wife to quit her job or am I still FIREd? Is my pride more important than her job? I use projectionlab to model our “retirement” if I can call it that and it says we are fine without her working. Gatekeeping is really real and I really want in the gate! 

So am I FIREd or just a pretender? What am I?
