[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because divorce suddenly relieves that workload?

Often, yes.

So the money you would have spent outsourcing is spent running two households. Except with 2 households your children are moving back and forth. Hmmmm[/quote]

A good friend is going through this right now.  Biglaw (partner) spouse.  Friend had a big career too and then downgraded to consulting to be able to keep up with the home workload and BS still refused to do literally anything.  They have childcare 7 days a week, local grandparents and a weekly housekeeper and landscapers.  But BS insists on a beautiful, expensive, maintenance-heavy lifestyle.  Tesla, mansion, antique furnishings, dry clean only clothes, etc.  All of which Friend is left to maintain.

Friend moved to a new-build close-in town-home with a lot less to clean and no yard.  In addition to all the messes BS used to create and the stress of never being able to plan anything because a work call or email could derail everything from a playdate with a friend to an international vacation, Friend now has 100% control over the level of complexity of their life, home and schedule and can make choices without factoring in BS’s class anxiety.[/quote]
