[quote=Anonymous]OP:  your wife and you have different philosophies. Your wife is set on being a very strong career woman, and your thought is to have a different family life.  This is breeding discontent in your lives because you guys cannot, and will not, see eye to eye.

You have a few choices:
- therapy: how do you guys find middle ground or compromise when you have a strong disconnect
- separation
- divorce

Her having varying financial goals (buying a house when you don't) is not something I am used to in my life.  You having strong beliefs in certain situations that contradicts her beliefs and you can't come to a middle ground is also different.  She isn't going to give up her drive for work, you aren't going to give up your leave it to beaver lifestyle desire.

No matter what this board thinks, you need to figure out what is sustainable and going to work.  You are not doing your kids a favor with the frigidity that is going on.  And they are going to take their hint of what works and what to put up with from the two of you.

Good luck.[/quote]
