Is it reasonable to expect an increase in living standards over the years?

Why doesn't anyone take personal responsibility for themselves anymore?

Make your own money. Otherwise, yes, it's unreasonable to expect someone else to shoulder more work than they feel comfortable with. |

| Yes you have a right to be upset. You need to find a better man who is not a loser. Dump the chump and get a divorce! |

| It is expected? Sure. Many expect their lifestyle to expand as they work more and harder and take risks and opportunities. Not everyone wants that and at %2-3 annual raise they wont get that far. Some people get more $$ staying at the same level but changing companies a couple time each time for 10-15% more pay at least. Some value status quo and longevity if it gives them flexibility. My DH has gotten maybe %3 increases for 7 years now. But he is WFH and flexible about hours and no travel and he really enjoys the subject matter and does a lot at home and is a saver not a spender. I took a risk and went for a promotion 7 years ago and then again jumped this year (same company) so i've gone up by $100K since then. More stress and more travel but also more $. And we had 2 kids in that time too. |

| It's unreasonable that YOU expect HIM do so this. And you're angry at him for it. You are a real piece of work. I feel sorry for your husband. |
