[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP no one knows your marriage but you, so difficult to advise. But a few uncomfortable things jumped out at me from your post:

You’re a hard worker, you enjoy investing, you make more money than your DH. Your arguments may be “splitting hairs” but you’re still having them, and you don’t sound like a dummy, so your points probably have merit. You’re being given two choices: keep arguing or back off entirely. Why not a third option, where you continue to work together, or learn to communicate about financial planning in a way that isn’t a fight? If you had no interest in finance, it would make sense to trust and bow out. But you do have interest in the topic, and you’re a high earner.

A plan to retire early, stop earning money, and trust to be “taken care of” by a spouse who wants me to “back off” of being involved in all financial discussions while I’m still young feels…not safe (to me). YMMV. But your post makes me wary.

This.

I see no reason why your husband should in control of the decisions. I mean if you didn’t care, fine. But you do care.[/quote]
