[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not about the money. There are high stress, tiring, low paying jobs that should count as much as a spouse who has a high paying low stress job. If I were a medical resident and bringing in $70K but working 100 hours a week, and DH was in finance working 9-5 and making $350x I would divorce him if he told me that I had to put in longer hours at home because I made a fifth of his earnings.[/quote] There are times when money is not relevant. If you are a resident in a hospital and will earn a lot more later. If you are working as vaccine tzar during a pandemic. If it is something of vital importance that you both agree on, or an investment in future income. But if you want to work 90 hours a week for $45k for a random non-profit that both of you have not agreed is essential, then i am sorry but no. You can’t make choices without regard to the well-being of the family unit.[/quote]
