[quote=Anonymous]I think resentment is normal. My husband and I both work full time but my job is very flexible and far less demanding (I can sometimes watch tv during the day and get errands done during the weekdays most weeks and am able to do school pick up, and no I am not on the clock...for my work I just get done what I have to do). My husband makes about 5x more than me and has pretty good flex considering his salary. But he works much harder, for longer, sometimes with unpleasant stints, and is often in the office. I think he can resent my freedom but still appreciates how I contribute and respects my work. I sometimes resent him, especially when things are more even between us work-wise and I realize he makes so much more than I do, but I appreciate his effort and income. Normal marriages navigate these things while still allowing people to feel normal feelings. [/quote]
