[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With respect, this sounds immature. You say your husband does not appreciate your professional field about which you are passionate? Why does it matter if a spouse is excited about your work? And you say he is professionally lost, but he has a job and a master's degree. Is this one of those "my husband is a failure because he only makes $150k" posts? Because there are many, many families in my circle with 2 or more kids making less than 100k and getting by and enjoying life. If you want a second child you two can make it work. But it sounds like you aren't in love, and would be able to tolerate that for more money, but not for the current amount.[/quote]

This is somewhat correct, but not entirely. If he was fulfilled by his work and it made him happy, I wouldn't mind as much. He makes less than you think (well under 100k) and feels dissatisfied with his work. He is very smart, which attracted me in the first place, but has had a hard time finding his way and has been floundering for a long time.

For me, work isn't just work, it is a big part of my identity outside of business hours too.

"But is sounds like you aren't in love." This is so true. [/quote]
