[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be pretty shocked if someone out of the workforce for 15 years could find a job paying anything close to 60-70k.[/quote]

Op here, some judgmental people but of course it’s DCUM.  To some of the posters, DW is a speech therapist working part-time.  I know that she can transition to full time and make $50k - her skills are current and demand is high.  And yes, I do help at home with cooking, laundry, cleaning etc, and we also have a cleaning person every 3 weeks.  I never said I wanted a divorce either, I just need he to make more.  We don’t spend frivolously but there are still lots of expenses, especially with college looming.  I’ve done what I can to earn more and took a stressful GS-15 job as a result, but I’m 15 years in towards a pension so not going to leave for a private sector job.[/quote]

OP, you are absolutely within your rights to want this and anyone who says otherwise is 100% wrong.[/quote]

I agree! And the people suggesting he move to the private sector and make more money are truly nuts. He has a well-paying, stable job that will provide him and his family with a pension, good insurance, etc. It would be incredibly stupid and short-sighted for him to give that up for a less stable job as the breadwinner. I mean, what are you guys even thinking??[/quote]

And, she also has a job.  If he wants her to work more and harder so should he.  He could also take a second job.  [/quote]

What? The wife doesn't even work full time and husband needs a SECOND JOB? So her majesty can put in more quality ass on couch time?

He can work harder by picking up more chores if he likes.  Her job brings peanuts. [/quote]
