[quote=Anonymous]My husband left Big Law to open his own firm with a friend. This meant I would be the main breadwinner, and we would be relying on my health insurance. When DH came to me with this plan to leave, I said, "Let's sit down with your future law partner and his wife, and map this out. How much money will the start-up cost? What is the total value of your combined book of clients? How many months will it take you to be in the black? Will you be able to maintain that status? At what point do you think you will meet the salary you are making at Big Law now?"

Then, based on their answers, I said "Let's try for one year." It was important going in to know I wasn't blindly standing by my man, and that we had an exit strategy if needed. We still rely on my job for health insurance, but DH's income has once again surpassed mine.

OP I think you have been very wrong to not have set something like this up with your wife. It's fine to try something and struggle, but at a certain point when the entire family is sacrificing for your dream long term with no end in sight, that's not cool. [/quote]
