[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was married to someone like this.  You need to read him the riot act.  We give up the right to act unilaterally when we get married and have children.  He needs to apologize for doing this and promise it will never happen again.  If he says that you've failed to listen to his needs, then you need to discuss and address that.  He needs to agree to sit down with you and work on a plan for his real estate career that you both agree with.  There needs to be a timeline for him to get to a certain place, and an agreement that he will do something else (get a steady job with a certain income) if this time comes and goes.

And you need to see a divorce attorney to figure out where the chips would fall if he fails to follow through.  Essentially, this is an ultimatum from you - he needs to show you that you can depend on him, or you need to go on your own.  [/quote]

Very true. For some people it's hard to give up their independence and consult their spouse; for others, it's pure impulsiveness; and the rest are just selfish. Figure out which one you have and act accordingly.[/quote]

My parents are divorced now, but I swear you could be talking about my dad.  Two or three times during the course of their marriage, he basically just decided he didn't like his job and quit.  My mom had a very good job so he leaned on her way more than a responsible adult should and just thought somehow they would manage on her salary alone.  He was basically like an adult child. When my parents divorced, he moved in with my grandparents.

He sounds like a jerk.
