[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the breadwinner and make 4x what my husband does. Should I lose my job my DH’s salary could not support us. That puts immense pressure on me and is a pressure that I don’t like. I have been the breadwinner for almost our entire day 14 year marriage. I find it lonely as well since most of my friends have higher earning DHs and can’t commiserate or really understand where I am coming from. My DH does split home front duties but shockingly his low paying job is also very inflexible so I am the parent on deck should an emergency arise. I feel very alone sometimes and that I can’t change jobs or follow a passion because my income is so needed. My DH will never make more than $60k (which is much more than he makes now) so we need my $150k income. [/quote] +1,000. My situation almost exactly. I could’ve written every word of this.[/quote]
