[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP ignore the haters. I completely understand your frustration!

I am in the same boat as you. My dh has had a very good education. Private secondary school, great private college and a graduate degree from an almost Harvard like institution. He could've had his pick of careers AND companies upon graduation.

Instead he picks a shady, low paying job that you could get with an associates degree or a degree from any subpar state school.

Im befuddled by his lost potential and saddened that he can't see how much he can do. I also resent him because of his unnecessary choices, we will have to struggle to make ends meet or leave this area all together.

I can also relate to both of you only while my DH makes a good income, it has no real future career advancement or retirement potential. I feel like he has just been floating along for the past 7 or 8 years, not advancing in any way shape or form. We pay our bills but never really feel like we get ahead...although he loves to spend. I am feeling resentful because I think more about the future and seem more concerned than him. I'm seriously thinking about splitting our finances and moving along on my own. I'm tired of working my tail off with nothing to show for it. [/quote]
