[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I'll share my personal issues with this in the event it's helpful to you.  In my case, I'm the sole breadwinner and my husband is a SAHD.  I feel a tremendous amount of pressure related to money and finances, and I can't help but feel defensive when he raises money management suggestions.  I know he isn't attacking me, and I try to work through my own hang-ups about money, but despite this I sometimes find myself shutting down when he brings up money issues.  I think I cope with the pressure and anxiety by ignoring the issue, and him bringing it up forces me to deal with something that I'm just not equipped to confront in the moment.

Obviously, I'm the one with the issue in my family (luckily we have enough income that it isn't a cash flow problem -- more long term savings and investment priorities), but I thought I'd share in case any of my reaction sounds similar to what your husband is dealing with.  [/quote]

FWIW, I'm also pregnant with my third with a 5 year old and a 2 year old.  I'm kind of a wreck in general :)[/quote]

Op here- Thank you so much for sharing! This is a piece of it from his end as well. You get the ultimate pass on behavior though with working full time and being pregnant again. I hope people are pampering you![/quote]
