[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where did she say he was a law firm partner?[/quote]

Never mind, I see it.

OP - he can take time off work.  He's acting like this (let me guess, rarely sees the kid, too) because you let him. And I agree you sound helpless.  Get a backbone and figure your shit out, woman!  You're not his daughter, you're an equal partner in the marriage (one would think, though apparently these big/no earner relationships turn weird).[/quote]

If her DH is not supportive of this step I would first seek counseling. OP has never really worked, and she is effectively placing new demands on her breadwinner DH effectively because she is bored. It's one thing if she gave up some ambitious dreams and career to stay home to take care of her kids, but it seems like since day one their marriage compact had been he works and she takes care of the home. She now unilaterally wants to change that basically because she is idle 6 hrs a day.  And honestly, once you hit the gym for an hour, order or make dinner, you only have like 4 hours free.  I can see her DH viewing this as some annoying midlife crisis (I'm 40!). Just wait 5-7 more years and your lone child will basically be completely independent and go back to work at 45. Take some classes now in preparation but keep that hot bod and law partner happy. [/quote]
