[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok I haven’t read everything but I was in your situation.

I married DH when we were both young. I was just out of college and he was working. So outearned me at that stage. I ended up being a high income trajectory so by the time we had kids I was outearning him 2x. I was also resentful. I loved my kids and wanted to be around them. But to quit work and go to one much lower income didn’t make sense. Plus I was good at my job and clearly had a lot more potential than DH.

At the time I was resentful but it has turned out well now I am 52. Now I earn $1.2m plus, kids are amazing, our family is intact. DH has a job he loves and I have a lot more flexibility as I have become more senior.

I feel for you OP. You are so angry and resentful. And him sending money to his family and buying people wine would have really upset me when I was in your situation.  But think of future you - you don’t have to stay married. But it sounds like you want the best for your kids - the better income earner you are, the better their life will be [/quote]
