[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you move to your mom and your old friends...won't you loose that high-paying job as well? So your income would still be 1/3rd of what it was assuming you could get a new job quickly.

Honestly, you sound a bit selfish because you're lonely. You don't like your new friends and you want to take your toys and go home. Meanwhile you and your husband built a new life where you are. Suck it up buttercup. [/quote]

OP here: Job is transferable. I work from home full time and make about 140k a year.

I didn't choose this. He took a new job without consulting me a year ago-- that's right, he got offered a job over the phone and took it without asking me about it. Before he had a regular 9-5 job. We moved to where we are so he can commute easily while I worked from home. But it's not longer sustainable because he is just never at home.

(Way sorry for the single parenting comment. It's more like abandoned parenting. Or something. I don't mean to offend anyone by that I'm just super stressed).

It wasn't like this before. We had a great life-- we had time for friends, we had time for weekend holidays. We had a life.

We don't have a life anymore. And it's mean that you're telling me to suck it up: I have. It's been so hard. My job isn't easy and I require a lot of time to focus on it and I can't because he's never around. I have to be home for the kids. He isn't home.

He has offered to work less but I'm not sure it's enough to save our relationship. I love him, he's a great guy. But I need a person who can spend time with me, who wants to spend time with me. Which we simply do not because he chooses to play golf instead of hanging out with me. He doesn't want to see the same movies. We don't do anything together-- not parenting, not family time, nothing. The only thing is that we share a bed. For about 3 hours.

I think the general consensus is that he needs to look for a new job. I think it may be the only way.[/quote]
