[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeez, I disagree with pretty much everyone here. Apparently every DCUMer wants to be a kept woman to a self-absorbed high-earner who barely tolerates her.

Your DH, as others have admitted, sounds like an ass. Financial success often brings an ego trip. (Lawyer here, see it constantly--tho of course attorneys have this problem regardless of income :) .) (1) Get a job.  I see no reason why a highly-educated women such as yourself should have any problem finding work in the [u]long-run[/u]. I emphasize the last word, because the difficulty is that it will likely take networking and working your way up again.  But you have exactly what you need to achieve this: time and resources. So get going. (2) Make explicit, reasonable requests (in advance) of DH. Date night. Family event. You want him to take DS to Star Wars b/c kid would love it. (4) Outsource household drudgery. (Duh.) (3) Take your time.  See where you are in a year, two years. I agree that DH sound unbearable now, but perhaps he should be given the opportunity to change as well.

And disregard the Stepford harpies that pretend that any work is miserable toil that will ruin your children.  I love my job, most of the folks I work with and around love their work. You can too.

Well, I agree with you! 
and excellent point, unless you have a highly specialized field where there a dearth of experience, you are unlikely to find something both high paid and fulfilling right away. The point is to get the ball rolling making changes professionally and personally because it is not working now. [/quote]
