[quote=Anonymous]It's always interesting to see the women come down so hard on any trouble husbands have. I would caution men in the future to reverse their roles in the scenarios to get a more accurate response from some of these she-devils.

OP, your wife needs to step up and get cracking. She's a SAHW (child is in school), so she can't even hang her hat on that benefit. I don't see her going to Asia as a sacrifice (especially if she worked while there). I think she's probably resentful about not finding a job since you've been back and now she's recreating the story..."She never wanted to go and now her future prospects look bad". Of course, I'm sure she was just as excited as you to live abroad at the time this was all happening.

If she's verbally abusive (or just plain bitchy), I don't think bringing up the job search with her will help. I would suggest couple's counseling and let the therapist tell these things to your wife. You're probably pretty resentful and a bit "know-it-all" when you guys talk, so she's just not trying to hear anything you have to say whether it's right or wrong. Go neutral third party on this one.

Address the inability to communicate first. Focus on the job search second. But I definitely agree with you: She needs to pull her weight. You don't owe her a SAH lifestyle and you shouldn't have to kill yourself working to provide one. [/quote]
