[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never do this either. It’s hard to imagine that money is so important to you. It’s not like he’s a deadbeat and not contributing. [/quote]

It’s very simple - I am going to have to work many years longer than I want to at a job I don’t love to compensate for his prioritizing his own interests over income in order to pay for college and retire comfortably. If either of us decides to leave the marriage, I don’t feel he should get half of the wealth I’ve built making sacrifices he has not made. [/quote]

To be fair, he's not forcing you to do this; to stay at a job you don't love because you make 3x more. YOU choose to do so and I understand WHY you choose to do so because who doesn't want to make that kind of money. That said, you can't hold it against him because he's happy and content. In terms of half of the wealth if things fall apart, welcome to marriage. Divorce works both ways. If you want to protect your neck, sure get a post-nup but curious to know what his reaction will be.

This is like women who complain that their husbands golf with their buddies on a Saturday but "I dont get any me time/girl time!". Unless the husbands are tying them down, wives are free to make their own plans/spa days etc. they just don't.

I am a mom BTW as well as the one who makes more. [/quote]
