Is it possible that the status quo (or stepping down for better balance) are not real possibilities for him career wise?  Not because of want but because those jobs don’t exist or won’t pay for your life?  Because otherwise at least for us that wouldn’t be a unilateral decision. [/quote]

+10.  You need couples counseling.  I know it doesn't feel like a relationship issue, it feels like a work issue - but it's not.  It's primarily a disagreement about how to structure your lives.
