[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I met when we were in grad school. We were both ambitious and had demanding careers when we got married. We earned roughly the same when we had kids and over the years, I mommy tracked, moved to part time consulting and eventually became a SAHM of our three kids. DH’s career has soared and our kids are all thriving doing well in school, happy and social.

I recently didn’t go to my college reunion. It wasn’t a convenient time but more than anything, I think I’m embarrassed that I no longer work. DH is top of his field and earns a few million dollars per year. We live in a beautiful home in a highly desired area, have multiple vacation homes, etc. We live better and have more money than the majority of my old college friends. DH thinks I should be proud of my accomplishments because DH’s success is my success. I’m not sure how I feel about that.

Do you think your spouse and children’s success if your success?[/quote]

Yes if that’s his way of demonstrating how thankful and grateful he is of all of your hard work on the homefront so he can mainly focus on work.

No, if he’s full of cliches and platitudes but not thankful and grateful of you and your work. If he ignores you, the kids, the home or spends little quality time with you he’s showing you he’s not appreciative. And vice versa.
