[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just make sure you know where all the money is and how to access the accounts, and that you have access to sufficient funds to pay a very good lawyer up front should you ever are faced with your DH's idea of success has changed to include dumping the old for a new model.

This is so unnecessary, and your jealously is showing. [/quote]

NP. I seriously don’t understand why people always think it’s jealousy. My DH is a physician and he makes about $600k from his job and consulting on the side. I could easily stay home with the kids but I choose to work. I spent many years of my life getting a PhD in an area I’m passionate about and I enjoy working. I am truly not jealous of wealthy SAHMs. It’s not appealing to me at all. [/quote]

Right, but OP is making this choice. Stay home or don’t. But complaining about lack of self actualization due to her own choices while living a life of luxury with supportive husband is cringe. [/quote]

I think the problem is that OP isn't going to find a ton of people who feel like she does. 
(1) There are people who want to work and so they do. They would say to OP, just go get a job again. 
(2) There are people who don't want to work and hate that they do. They would say to OP, stop complaining, your life is amazing. 
(3) There are people who don't want to work and so they don't. They would say to OP, not working is the best, you're crazy to want anything else. 
(4) And there are going to be a few people who don't work but want to and they will understand.

Otherwise, you're just going to get annoyed responses from (1)s, jealous responses from (2)s, and insecure responses from (3)s. OP did get a few (4)s who said they understand, and then the rest of the pages is just idiots being pedantic. [/quote]

Right but as a 1, I don’t see the issue? If having a career is so important to the OP why not start working again?

You are correct that I find people like the OP annoying because she fails to take ownership for her past and present choices. [/quote]
