[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry for your heartbreak. I think it’s for the best. I sympathize with your sentiment but I think it’s very hard for most people to realize just how much parenthood changes their lives. there might be room for compromise too- what if you went part time and had a part time nanny? You might actually prefer that and it’s a safer option in one way as sahms can get screwed if they leave the workplace entirely and struggle if forced to re-enter. We chose this route but it meant we bought a house on one salary and with 20% down to give ourselves the wiggle room. That meant a modest house in an exurb. Make sure you are willing to sacrifice the ‘dream house in north bethesda’ scenario and see if he’s willing to. Good luck. Also, I met my spouse at 35 and we have three kids so you still have a chance. [/quote]
