[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, You sound like a loser. What is YOUR income? My DH doesn't care if I work or not.

What difference does his income make?  Assuming he isn't an uber high, typical DCUM'er wouldn't you want a spouse who engages in the workplace and has experiences of her own?[/quote]

I bet he doesn't make much. Maybe he needs to fix himself first.

My DH doesn't care if I work or not or have experiences of my own, LOL. He wants me happy. I can have experiences at work or AT HOME. 
Threads like this make me so appreciative of DH.[/quote]

NP here.  And what about you?  I'm guessing you care if your DH works.  What if your DH came home and said he's not happy and wants to quit his job?  What would you all do?  Would you get a job so your DH could be happy?

It doesn't sound like you are truly appreciative of your DH.  It sounds like you are appreciative of his income.  [/quote]

Actually this happened. Thanks for asking.
DH was an engineer at his family's company. The closed the business. He didn't want to do engineering anymore. So he was home for 5-10 months or so while the business closed and he applied for an MBA program. I can't remember exactly how long, I think November to September. Then he was in school for two years full time. So he wa so it if the workforce for THREE years.
We had two kids and used savings and my income to live during this time. I worked part time but it helped.[/quote]

You didn't feel the need to work full time?[/quote]

No, I didn't think that would make for a balanced life. My kids were little at the time. I didn't want to miss out on being there. Plus, when DH was in school, we were able to work my hours around his school, thus no daycare cost. If I was full time, I couldn't do that.[/quote]
