[quote=Anonymous]A close friend of mine made 6 times what her husband did at her peak earning. She’s been happily married for 30 years and her DH (also a scientist, btw) assumed the lions share of mundane child rearing tasks since his job was regular and flexible hours. His doing that enabled her to flourish in her career and she has had a wonderfully close relationship with her kids because, to be honest, she is the “fun” parent while her husband was always the rule maker and enforcer, errand runner, etc.

There may be many benefits to your situation, OP, that you don’t appreciate yet bc your kids are so young. My friend’s husband naturally stepped up to his family role bc they have a great partnership and he recognized he had more time and flexibility to be running the kids to post school activities, doing the laundry, managing the kids’s dr appts and school paperwork etc. My friend has also always and vocally valued her husband and his contributions and his intelligence and career. They are a true partnership.

If your husband is using his extra time only for himself, then perhaps that is where you need to start these discussions with him vs separating your assets. [/quote]
