[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I guess I'm just worried about being dependent on my DH even though in reality I am now given his income vastly exceeds mine.  I work in refugee resettlement and this work environment right now is, well, sad and exhausting.  DH ideally doesn't want me to stay home until [b]IF[/b] he makes partner for more security, which won't be for a few year if it does happen. [/quote]

Op, I worked in refugee resettlement and job searching too - it is sad and exhausting. No one wants to house or offer jobs to refugees.

My guess is you could likely find a SW job paying 50k+ if you wanted to. Why are you staying in that job?[/quote]

I love my job mostly as I love the families that I've worked with over the last 8 years.  The struggle right now is more political climate - less money from the feds due to less refugees entering the country and financial struggles of NGO as result.  More harassment from random people on the internet getting our emails and phone numbers who don't want refugees entering the country.  So work itself is good, political environment terrible.  Although there is less work these days due to less refugees coming in and hours might be cut back so who knows if I'll even have a job to come back to when I'm done with maternity leave.  [/quote]
