[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in this exact same predicament with my DW. She is going on multiple years unemployment now, and I really think that she will never - and probably does not want - to find a job. When we married I never expected that she would not work. I supported her through grad school, paid for nannies while she studied and then started out on her career. However, after she left her last job that she had for 5 years, I have seen her engage in self sabotaging behavior that only makes it harder for her to get a job. I also think she uses being the SAHM as an excuse as to why she has no "time" to look for a job. I have posted on these boards before and been pilloried by the female class for being a "dick" and not being compassionate towards my DW. The hypocrisy on these boards is incredible. I feel for you OP. It sucks when you expect your SO to contribute financially to the family and they can't or they won't. [/quote] You supported your wife thru grad school and now she won't get a job? Does she also have school loans to pay back? I am a woman and would be pissed off too. A woman stays at home and doesn't earn for a decade, we have to be "supportive" - but a man does it and is called a bum and a scrounger. Too many women (and men) getting used to the high life on someone else's dime. [/quote]
