[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]65k with a masters? jfc. In the 90s I was starting new tech hires at that salary at a fed agency. I knew people 20 years ago who made that kind of money but worked easy 9-5 jobs. I would consider divorce if he wouldnt quit.[/quote]
Him quitting outright puts us in a worse position. I need him to find something new. I wouldn’t even care so much about the money if he was just home for dinner. He could find a job making exactly what he makes now, but if he was able to leave at 5, I wouldn’t even care.

It’s the combination of the pay and the hours that drives me insane. [/quote]

I hear you op and I agree. That's where I would want to leave him because he isn't home to help. My dh worked insane hours most of our lives and  when they were younger it was very hard. We have no family here and I had to deal with all the kid stuff by myself and one kid has disabilities. He's a great father and provider but even he wishes he hadn't pushed so hard at work. He was paid very well for that though. Your dh is willingly being treated like crap and that passivity about it would not be ok. He's hurting his family with this job.[/quote]
