[quote=Anonymous]I am a little surprised at how negative the comments on this thread have been but I did read OP’s description and think . . . you really don’t quite get it.  I see that you are a breadwinner and don’t appear to be looking for luxuries but, at the same time, the fact that you want to live more comfortably and your husband isn’t responding to that is not particularly compelling.  Did he give you the impression that he planned to make more money . . . when you got married?  Or when you decided to have children?  Is he being underpaid compared to his peers and just doesn’t want to ask for a raise?  Or is he happy in his job in an industry that doesn’t pay as well as you would like?  It just seems that you are setting yourself up for disappointment if you want a lifestyle that he doesn’t or you want him to do something that pays better but is not what he wants to do.  There seems to be a very fundamental disconnect between what you want and what he wants.  Unless he led you to believe he wanted different things, I don’t think trying to force him to make more money is going to resolve that disconnect.[/quote]
