[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you the one who handles the finances in the family?  If so, the dynamic you have with your DH may be more parent-child, with you telling him what has to happen, and that may be turning him off.  Sit down with him and together go over all of your finances. Not just the currents bills and income but net worth and retirement projections.  Ask him for his input.  What does he envision for retirement?  Maybe if he sees all the numbers on paper, it will give him a reality check.

Or make an appointment for the two of you to see a fee only financial planner.  Your DH may respond better if it comes from someone else.  The financial planner might also figure out a way to make your existing finances work better and maybe that will give you the hope for the future that you need.

So... he saddles her with all the work... and does nothing... and then he gets to blame her because it's a "turn off" when she does all the work for him?

LOL!!!  Gotta love it.  Must be nice! [/quote]

We really don't know OP or her husband.  She may have some controlling tendencies that contributed to their dynamic.  Regardless, she's the one asking for help here, and that's my advice to her.  They can go see a marriage counselor to work out all their other issues if they want their marriage to work.  I'm not going to judge either of them.[/quote]
