Be careful about issuing ultimatums you’re not willing to follow through on.

If you do this and don’t divorce, all that happened is that you damaged your relationship, you’re still agonizing over every financial decision and your wife won’t take you seriously. If you do divorce, I guarantee you will have significantly less money than you do right now. Whatever small savings you currently have will be depleted. Half of your retirement will be gone. Financially you will be worse off than you are today.

So, maybe instead of going down the ultimatum road, why not insist on marriage counseling?

You will probably have to let go of the idea of a 70K windfall from your wife’s hypothetical full time job. Your wife will probably have to find a better paying part time job or work longer hours. You will both have to give a little to avoid losing a lot. [/quote]
