[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] In the nearly 25+ years we've been married, we have always lived where DH's jobs have been as he is the bread winner.  I was a SAHM for many, many years ( by my choice when they were young  and later on his insistence because he didn't what to have to step up to the plate and share kid and house responsibilities if I want back to work)  and returned to part-time work recently to fill my days rather than really contribute financially. FOr the last 15 years, we lived in a place I hated because of our DC established roots and the schools were good... and DH's high paying job.

Soon, all DC will be (hopefully) away at college and I want it to be MY turn to do what I want after 20 years of raising our children.
As an introvert in a family for 3 extroverts, I am also seeking quiet and calmness.
I'm dreaming of driving off to Cape Cod or Nantucket for the school year once DC2 hits college in the fall ALL. BY. MYSELF.

How do I tell DH I NEED a school year by myself and this is what I am doing? THere is no discussion.

Financially we can easily handle me renting a place. [b] I fear DH will suggest he retire and join me.  UGH![/b]

The bolded part saids it all, OP.  Why don't you get a divorce now.  Then you can go live where ever you want without fearing your DH will retire and join you.[/quote]

You don't love your husband, OP. It's clear. So get out of the marriage.

[b]Oh, what's that? You want the[i] substantial wealth[/i] [b]he's[/b] earned?[/b]

You're selfish and horrible.[/quote]

Giving up her career to raise THEIR children - gave her ZERO income.  What is a FAIR part of HIS income, after 20+ years of marriage should be hers?[/quote]
