[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]9:17 here. normally I hate when people say this, but reverse the roles. if it was the husband out of work for almost 10 years and rearranging his shoe collection then verbally abusing the wife? "Divorce!!!!!!" [/quote]

NP, but think this is absolutely not the case.  If a DH gave up his work for his wife's job to be a SAHD for five years, and then had trouble reentering the workforce despite efforts to find a job, I would definitely [b]not [/b]say "divorce!"  I think the real issue is the verbal abuse, not the job issue.  It is hard to tell from DH's post whether DW is [b]continually blaming him, belittling him, lashing out (which would sound more like typical abuse)[/b], or whether it is generally a (bad) reaction to when he raises the employment issue or criticizes her on this front (still not appropriate behavior from DW, but seems less like abuse and more like a bad dynamic that they've both created).[/quote]

OP here.  DW worked while we were in Asia for four years.  She worked a total of nine years before we came to DC.  As to her entanglement with the criminal justice system, she was charged with two class 3 misdemeanors - criminal trespass and resisting arrest.  She plead no contest to the first and did community service and the record is supposed to be expunged.  However, I do think she needs to formally request the expungement.  The latter charge was dropped.  As to the highlighted part, I think this fits more the pattern.[/quote]
