[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are in a similar situation except I am the higher earning spouse (similar to your DH) and my DH is a lower paid (closer to you) startup founder who is even busier than me. So we both have to share the load and it is not easy with young kids. I would take your balance in a heartbeat without any changes. The only thing that kind of helps is we have highish net worth so psychologically either of us could step away, we are just choosing not to at the moment. If my DH's startup works out I might take a step back but I know he never will. [/quote]

Your situation is completely different. You already have a high NW and your DH started a startup that could theoretical give you a $100M+ net worth. Plus, if it’s a “hot” startup, you have access to portfolio loans via your paper NW and the ability to cash out millions via secondaries during raises.

You’re in a totally different ballgame than OP. Even if the startup fails in the end, secondaries can unlock tens of millions for you in the meantime. [/quote]
