[quote=Anonymous]If this is real, it raises red flags. Is he cheating on you? Gambling addiction? Mental health issues?

My DH is a big law partner, I was also a lawyer who went part time and now SAH. My DH doesn’t make nearly as much as yours, but he works crazy hours, there’s no way he would want me to go back to work and put even MORE stress on his plate. My kids are younger, but even with yours being older, there’s a ton of stuff to do on the home front that can’t be done when both parents are working insane hours. He focuses on work, I deal with basically everything else, and he knows how lucky he is never to get the call from the school nurse or have to deal with broken appliances or vet visits.

1.4 is a ton of money. If he is unhappy or stressed, he should get out. Hopefully you have lots saved for an emergency fund. 190 is also plenty to live on unless you have a massive mortgage and private school. Maybe you need major life style changes, but you attempting to make more than 190 while also doing all the home stuff is insanity. It’s not like you’re working 20 hours a week at Target for minimum wage![/quote]
