[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a bit like this also. Several years ago, he accepted a new job that nearly doubled our HHI because he wanted to buy a house and build better savings and have a second child. Note that I said HE wanted those things - I also want them but I was not the one pursuing this job and making 5 year plans about it. We are in year 4 of that plan, which is going like clockwork as mapped out in 2015, and he is such a drama llama about it. Hates the job. Doesn’t play to his skills. Feels like he’s wasting his time. Feels venal for taking a job solely because of money. Blah blah blah.

I hear him out, comfort him, make suggestions about how to reframe his dissatisfaction, remind him that next year, he can step down to something else and I can take the financial load, but none of that really reduces the complaints. It is frustrating but probably less frustrating than OP’s husband, who seems to accept zero responsibility for how they ended up in this situation and also makes zero attempts to improve the situation.
