[quote=Anonymous]We had kids later and I went through many rounds of IVF as well as losing a child. When we had our twins, I ended up passing out on the delivery table due to blood loss and ended up in ICU in an induced coma.  I went to back to work at 3 months and was still recovering.  I told my husband that I feel like I am overwhelmed, depressed and about to have a nervous break down.  I asked for a break from work to recover and concentrate on our kids.  He was not supportive.  I told him I can't do it all, managing the house, finance and working a demanding job.  I even gave him the option of being a SAHP since I have a great income potential but he does not want to be a SAHP and does not want me to be a sahm.

We have a net worth of 4M including a home that is paid off.  Both of us make the same amount of money.  I feel we have plenty of money for one of us to be a SAHP.   Recently he wants to build a $1M home.  Again I iterated that I was overwhelmed with the children, stressed with work and don't want to live paycheck to paycheck to build this dream house.  I cancelled the build contract and he is extremely upset.  He can't buy the house without my paycheck.  He couldn't be supportive about me being a stay at home mom even temporarily to recover, why should I suck it up and work my butt off so he can have his dream house.

He refuses to go to counseling and the resentment is growing on both side.  What can I do besides short of divorce?[/quote]
