[quote=Anonymous]The issue is OP asked for advice on how to discuss this with DH. OP- Maybe one way to talk about it is to ask DH what he envisions his life and his life with the family looking like in a 9-5 job. That might present a picture that appeals more to you (and is more concrete) than your fear of having less income. I'll project a bit here, but when my DH talks about a career change, I'm always discouraged by how much of what he envisions doesn't really involve me or the kids (and for the record I'm the breadwinner in my family). Hopefully your DH has a decent amount of family time in mind. Anyway, after hearing what life looks like, draw up a budget of that that life costs. Maybe he too would have second thoughts once he sees you won't be doing X,Y, or Z. Finally, there is little harm and only potential benefit in him starting to look for another job. Fed jobs don't come through quickly. Good luck![/quote]
