[quote=Anonymous]OP I hope you are still reading. 
I honestly thought I might have written your post. 
I had to check the date to make sure it wasn't me. So many similarities. 
My DH makes a bit under 2m but same idea.  I also work On a 60 percent schedule and make 200k. 
So I am not dependent on him, but of course our lifestyle is not one that could be sustained on 200k.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I hear you.  I also have three kids and realize that while my husband is pretty much an ass, it's not like I am going to find some great guy who wants to date a 45 year old with three kids.  (I am no disaster - I work out, take care of myself, etc - but still,I am 45 and a busy working mom. I'm not some model)
Like you, we met in grad school when he was poor but humble and funny and kind, and really adored me. Now, he is pompous and rich and rude. It makes me so sad. He's not nice to me or really the kids either. He doesn't really have many friends. I have many, so their husbands put up with him ok. 
SO, this is what I am trying
1. I like my work and try to keep focused on it so my career isn't dead In the water. 
2. I have tons of friends and social plans. I have built a great community. 
3. My kids are fantastic. As they grow up, they are funny and kind and smart and interesting. I try and focus on them the most, of course, and remind myself how lucky am.  
4. Use that money to try and fix things.  Lots of help, to reduce tension in the home, nice date nights, to try and rekindle - luxurious vacations to create great family memories.

Look, I am trying the best I know how. It sucks to see couples truly in love, and I am trying hard to make the best of my situation. [/quote]
