[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]why is everyone piling on the OP.  All she does is shop and spend the money he makes!  Being that anti social is weird and frustrating ofr a couple and especially challenging for an outgoing and only child.  Growing up with a "village' is a wonderful thing for kids.   OP I think you should go ahead and separate and make this a trial run for your new life. Join the club as well and take your daughter to activities there. I think you will be so much happier.[/quote]

I think OP's wife sounds like she's depressed and not a great mom and spending his money, so yeah, he should probably consider divorce.

That said, OP seems not to grasp that a country club is a VERY niche activity that projects a VERY niche image that a lot of people are uncomfortable with.  It's not like, say, wanting to sign your kid up for swimming lessons. Everyone needs to learn to swim at some point, it's offered by parks and rec OR private lessons, and whether one takes lessons or not doesn't really convey anything about socioeconomic or other markers.  But country clubs by definition provoke strong reactions from people.  OP has to be incredibly unsympathetic to not understand that ALOT of people, regardless of job, income, depression etc, balk at the idea of a country club as a social entry.

Signed, mom who grew up UC, married to a DH who grew up dirt poor, who now both make lots of money, who both abhor the idea of country clubs.  [/quote]
