[quote=Anonymous]I’m the pp who met freshman year of college. We obviously didn’t know our financial picture / roles back then. For years while he earned a PhD I was the breadwinner. I also have investments (inherited) and started a 401k sooner. He then did low-paying post-docs but has out earned me for about a decade. For a few years when our kids were younger I went part time so my salary was even lower then. He’s had two periods (one about 4 months and one about 2 months) looking for work and I’ve been in a steady job. So it ebbs and flows in terms of what we contribute financially at a given moment. I told him about this thread and he said (and I agree) our big incompatibility is my desire to travel - and my tendency to want to travel when stressed - and his preference for not traveling. He’d be fine with me traveling alone sometimes, and each year I take a trip to my sister to visit with the kids, without him, but I really want him there to share it with. [/quote]
