[quote=Anonymous]I got incredibly resentful, DH started doing less and less when he was home, and our marriage almost broke up. It was awful and took years to repair. I think either 1) you get on board with this (because you think it's a good move for the family ultimately) and you hire help and/or suck it up to make it work, or 2) he has to find another job. I wanted option 2. It wasn't just the stress of being the home parent to toddlers. It was that DH had other, arguably better, options that didn't involve travel. He didn't earn enough to hire the amount of help we needed to make it sustainable. And I did not want the kind of family life/marriage where one of the partners is gone 50% of the time (and checked out when he's home). DH had been a great dad and partner up till then.[/quote]
