[quote=Anonymous][quote]Are you really saying you'd rather remain married to someone who is "incredibly difficult"? I can't believe you are advocating staying married to a person like that just to avoid personal upheaval. Would you give the same advice to a battered woman? Stay or your quality of life will suffer?

Why is there such a lack of respect for men? Why are men expected to be donkeys whose job is to pull the load quietly and shit out some money at regular intervals?[/quote]

Under this fact pattern? Where OP clearly loves his wife and his wife clearly is in some sort of professional funk that resulted in her choosing to be a SAHM even though it isn't a good fit. Even though OP wasn't really consulted here?

Yeah. The bet that the wife will pull it together is a better risk than starting over, particularly when someone still cares for their spouse. It's the whole "for worse" part of wedding vows. The wife is clearly not in a good place. It's good of OP to be the bigger person. Someone has to or the marriage would obviously fall apart.

I'm the divorced PP in a condo. I have to say if I could do it over again, I'd have made different choices more along the lines of OP's. It would have been better for everyone.[/quote]
