Why though?  Seriously.  This is OP, and no need to be defensive.  I have no idea why I feel this way and others don't, and am curious.  Not exactly something I can ask in real life.[/quote]

Ok my honest answer is that my DH has a “big” job. He makes a lot of money, is very senior in his company and works decent hours generally, but if they say get on a plane tomorrow or finish this project, he does.  He loves what he does and is very ambitious. He’d do this whether we were married or not, had kids or not. Some version of this is his dream job. So it’s the constant in our lives that I have to work around and accommodate. It’s easiest for me, a mom of 3, to accommodate it by not working.

Now if I had loved my job? I’d maybe have had more qualms about quitting. But I didn’t. So given the circumstances I have to work around...here we are.

He makes enough money that it really doesn’t matter if I spend the day hanging out by the pool or whatever.

Make sense?[/quote]

When you’re hanging out by the pool do you ever think you’re husband could be unfaithful on one of those business trips and leave you and your kids in a tough situation? Or is your husband not the type to cheat?[/quote]

This makes me so sad for you and your marriage. What a horrible way to go through life [/quote]
