The fact that you (and pp) can't discuss these kinds of things with your husbands is insane!  Looking at internet forums for info about family finances?  Instead of ASKING your husband?  Then again, you probably never see him.  Just - I have no words.

PP here, I knew someone would yell about this. Yes, in a perfect world, I could ask my husband whether promotions come every two years or three, or whether 2013 is supposed to be a crap year for bonuses, or if Firm X is poaching and Firm Y is on the rocks. Unfortunately I do not live in a perfect world, and my husband is afflicted with a severe case of Imposter Syndrome rendering him incapable of dwelling on work issues at home without it devolving into a panic attack. Are we working on these issues? Yes, but in the meantime I am happy people spread that kind of info around on the internet, if you look hard enough. Twenty years ago we would have been really screwed.

But I guess the idea of trying to work through, and around, a spouse's problems instead of kicking them to the curb is outré around here.[/quote]
