[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you have to ask yourself what he contributed to your being able to have the career you wanted and enabled you to reach the point where you can make $750k.

DH and I have been together for almost 30 yrs.  We met at 14 and we both worked min wage jobs.  When we got married there was nothing.  But after 30 yrs together his family is my family and my family is his family.  My brother is getting divorced and needs a new place to live.  We are giving him the down payment -- it's "our" brother that needs the help.  DH now makes 5x what I do.  The reality is that he earned the money that is going to my brother.  [/quote]

Very much like is, I was 15, but through our education I earned the money that supported us during our studies, he was less successful in employment during that time but still earned what he could. Our familial relationships are very complicated. We don't love close, I've never had the chance to get to know them very well despite my many attempts and they aren't very interested in knowing me still. We only see them whe. I plan visits to them. He has strained relationships with them as well but does not want to see them struggle, understandably. We are both from poor families, me more so than him. So I completely understand. I guess my questioning is if he made 60k a year, and that was what we had foreseen that would be different than me knowing exactly what his intentions were and being drawn to that ignition then for him to stop putting effort in. It's to the point that I have to push him to take projects etc. I just don't think I will be able to handle that. I can't respect settling, that was also his opinion in the beginning.

Am I being ridiculous? [/quote]
