[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So here is what I got from OP:
She is Ivy educated but quit her lucrative career to be SAHM
She is good looking
Her DH is handsome, but not hot
She could have hot
He wants to throw money at childcare and household so he doesn't have to clean, etc..
She does have part time house help
She has young kids, which is hard in any situation
She thinks he doesn't threat her with respect

I can' assume some things, but it they might be wrong as only OP and her DH know answers.
Here is the real question here.
Did you marry him because you loved him?
Or did you marry him because even then he earned a lot of money and was in hot pursuit?

I earned more than him when we got married. I married him because he was so nice. I was surrounded by cocky hedge fund and bankers. Now DH has the same ego.[/quote]

NP, and I can empathize with you OP on that. My husband also had a huge personality shift over the years (becoming more egotistical) as he gained more financial success, and it's made me increasingly just not like him very much. He doesn't value me or respect me (and I make 100K - it's not SAHM thing or WOHM thing - it's just a jerk thing).  That said, I'm not ready to throw in the towel, because I think it would be really damaging to the kids to be parented by him solely 50% of the time.

I've found that I just need to find happiness in other things - my job, my kids, my friends, my religion, and hobbies - hobbies are really important when you are feeling down and self-defeated. But I've given up on having a loving partnership for the next 10 years until my kids are out of the house. It's kind of like walking around all day with your glass 3/4 full - or almost happy - but it is what it is right now. [/quote]

Yeah and then 10 years later what kind of marriage are you going to have when there's not even the kids to keep you together?[/quote]
