[quote=Anonymous]The problem isn't his 90K. The problem is your attitude of wanting to be supported and not wanting a partnership where you both contribute. DH and I got married almost 20 years ago. I was starting in big law and made a lot more than he did. He got promotions, raises, etc. but the big law raises were huge at the time. I went part-time and ultimately stopped working to stay home with the kids. In the meantime, DH was out-earning me so we were able to maintain our life-style without my time. We are a team and the money is ours. I went back to work a few years ago and it takes some of the pressure of being the sole breadwinner off of him although we could not maintain our lifestyle on my income. Fortunately, we have learned over the years (through lots of trials -- illness, special needs kiddo) that there is more to life than the number on your paycheck. So, we would be okay no matter what.[/quote]
