[quote=Anonymous]OP here - DH doesn't seem depressed to me but we haven't talked about it. It seems like he's really gotten used to an easy life and doing less and less as time goes by. For those who are saying I expect a maid - I don't. In fact we have a cleaning service, so all I really need him to do is the grocery shopping weekly, throw in SOME laundry and I can take care of the rest, and cook dinner a few nights a week and figure out a plan for take out the rest of the week. I really don't think this is a lot of work in exchange for a very comfortable life.

He does have a college degree - in hotel mgmt. We're high school sweethearts who were together for many many yrs before marriage and kids. To get ahead in hotel mgmt to where you're the GM of a large hotel, you basically have to spend a few yrs learning all the roles in the hotel. He started off doing that after college and was fine at it but had no real interest in busting his @ss for it. So when we got to a point where I didn't want to step back in my career, he wanted to do it in order to create a family life for us. I'm grateful for all he has done - he knows that - but when one person now has 30 hrs of downtime a week and the other has none and is still doing the grocery shopping, it causes resentment.[/quote]
