[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a realistic fear. And as a PP mentioned, never discount your fears. You are apprehensive for a reason. It is also telling that you seem to anticipate that your DH would be difficult in a divorce situation.

I will add that I think if your marriage is already shaky, becoming a SAHM could actually make things worse. It really changes the dynamics of a marriage. [/quote]

It made our marriage much better. For us there would have been no chance of a happy life if I continued to work.
Kids and husband wouldn't have been happy at all, would have been impossible for our family (given husbands job demands, my old job hours, kids' needs).
So, I gave up a big part of me for the family.

To make that work you do have to do things to make yourself happy.
A part time job does not sound like a bad idea if you can do that. 
Volunteer work, part time work, a hobby, gym time, run a marathon, whatever.
Make sure your whole life isn't your family and you should be good.

If momma's not happy no ones happy..[/quote]
