[quote=Anonymous]DH has been unemployed for about 1.5 years.  We have maintained full-time childcare, using funds from his parents, the entire time so he can focus on his job search.  He spends ~60 hours a week in the basement "working" -- so can't help with dinner, baths, bedtime, etc.  He does pitch in with snow days and things like that.  He does not want to take care of the kids full time (and I don't want him to be a stay at home dad permanently).  At what point do I tell him he either needs to get a job paying more than our childcare costs, or he needs to move out (probably in with his parents).  If he moves out, I'm sure his parents will stop paying for our daycare expenses, so it would be a net loss for me financially, but theoretically he would actually just GET A JOB and the issue would be solved.  I do love him and want to stay married, but am unwilling to support a man indefinitely.  Is there a time cutoff?  Am I jumping the gun at 1.5 years? My resentment is going through the roof.  He has potential to be a high earner and in other circumstances would be happy for me to be a SAHM (but I would of course actually be taking care of our kids).  [/quote]
