[quote=Anonymous]Not sure why everyone's jumping all over the OP - except for the fact that it's DCUM and that's just what we do.

If you want to get a top notch degree on your own dime or your parents' dime and then not use it, fine. OP would have no right to say anything if he had the degree when she met him but he also had the gov't job and it was clear he was going to be a low level gov't lifer. In this case those -- OP sacrificed for and helped pay for the degree. You know when he got admitted to Yale MBA or wherever, he said her -- I know it'll hurt your career to move to New Haven with me and I know it'll take US time to pay off the debt, but with the money I'll be making, it'll be worth it. And she went along with that. And then he didn't uphold his end of the bargain at all.

I get that OP should be grateful at what sounds like a HHI in the 200s, but where is it written that you can ONLY complain if you're at the poverty line? I mean have you folks read DCUM before??

OP - have you ever raised this with DH - about switching jobs to one where he's compensated better? It sounds like he's not working short hours now, so why not go someplace where the hard work could make him more money? If you bring it up, what does he say?[/quote]
