[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had always told my wife that I did not want to be a sole provider.  When we got married, she had every intention of going back to school to earn her RN as she is an LPN and stuck in a lower paying, non career advancement type job.  Due to some health complications on her end, we ended up having a baby before she started going back to school.  Originally  she said she could go to school once DD was a little older because we had friends that did it and she figured she could do it too. Wife stopped working after DD was born because daycare was so much more than what she made we decided it wasn't worth it for that year and we would wait until she went back to school.  That was 6 years ago and wife has no intention of going back to school or work.

I love my wife and DS, but I am resentful. I own my own company but I don't make a ton and I'm constantly stressed. From conversations I've had with wife as well as things I've overheard, I don't think my wife had any intention to go back to school or work after having a baby but knew if she told me that, I may not have married her.

I appreciate  all she does in raising DD, but the resentment as well as a little bit of distrust has prevented me from wanting a second kid. [/quote]

A genuinely good wife who sees her husband struggling financially will help out the family by getting a job and not make excuses. That's messed up she intended all along not to work. One of the characteristics I look for in my future spouse is work ethics regardless if I earn a very high income.I not marrying someone who is lazy and unambitious. [/quote]
