[quote=Anonymous]It seems like one of the biggest conflicts here is the division of labor. Does the low earner like their job? Does the family need their job (like, it is a $50K/$125K situation with a high mortgage, or a $45k/$800K situation where the lower earners income doesn't make a dent). If the later (or similar), and the job is not fulfilling, I'd encourage the lower earner to quit and find another form of fulfillment that isn't necessarily tied to income. If you need both jobs, for any reason (money, fulfillment/satisfaction, etc...) I'd consider counseling to explore more equitably ways to divide up responsibilities, and/or try to understand the burdens each person feels they carry more fully. It's also an option that the higher earner can look for a new job that is a better fit and makes them feel less resentment or stress. If you start there, it is conceivable that some of the resentment/sex stuff resolves[/quote]
