[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like men have less discretion about finding a "fulfilling" job than women. The expectation is that they will be the ones who work whatever shit job is necessary to pay the bills. Certainly I would never do what OP's husband did; because I know, even if my wife contributes, that paying the bills is ultimately my responsibility. I do think that the responsible guys who do what OP's husband did not -- stick with crap jobs to support their families because it's the right thing to do -- should get more credit than they typically do.

BS.  Don't make this a male female thing.  Any spouse would be wrong to do what this guy did.

I agree that it sounds like the husband handled this poorly. I disagree if you are arguing that you are representative of anything approaching the norm when it comes to division of male/female responsibilities to provide for the family financially. There is absolutely a greater expectation that the man is going to provide for his family financially. [/quote]
