[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pretty shocked if someone out of the workforce for 15 years could find a job paying anything close to 60-70k.[/quote]

Op here, some judgmental people but of course it’s DCUM.  To some of the posters, DW is a speech therapist working part-time.  I know that she can transition to full time and make $50k - her skills are current and demand is high.  [b]And yes, I do help at home with cooking, laundry, cleaning etc, and we also have a cleaning person every 3 weeks.[/b]  I never said I wanted a divorce either, I just need he to make more.  We don’t spend frivolously but there are still lots of expenses, especially with college looming.  I’ve done what I can to earn more and took a stressful GS-15 job as a result, but I’m 15 years in towards a pension so not going to leave for a private sector job.[/quote]

I'm sorry OP. Some of these women lashing out at you are totally crazy and shockingly entitled. Obviously your wife should pitch in, and it's selfish that she's not. [/quote]

+1. I’m a woman and I’m so sick of these types of women. These women want equality, but do not want to be treated as equals when it comes to money. They still expect a man to pick up the check, pay for everything, and support them. You should do the same as men if you want equality. Work a FT job, being in the same pay, and still parent and do your fair share for the household. [/quote]

Wow OP does his wife’s job(because she is a SAHM and should do the cooking, laundry, cleaning, etc), his other job and pays for a house cleaner? What does his wife do? [/quote]
