[quote=Anonymous] “ So basically I feel ashamed for being financially dumb in my 20s, hating and quitting biglaw, and not really being able to have her be part-time. Should I feel this way? It’s really damaging our marriage. I constantly scan job boards for her, brainstorm for ways for her to get out, help her network, but she makes it very clear she resents me for not earning more and being able to rescue her from her situation. ” Yes you should feel ashame. Sorry I am not a troll and not a SAhm whom doesn’t want to work. But I support your wife. I would feel resentful as well. I do think you need to make some sacrifices for your family. You can’t have it all. You have 3 kids! Physically and socially you are in the position to work more and earn more than her. So stop having cushy life style while your partner suffers. [/quote]
