[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I have the perfect relationship until it comes to money. She has always had the expectation or hope that I be the primary breadwinner and work to give her the UMC life she feels she deserves. I have worked for 9 years now and my income has gone from 50k to 300k to now 60k again. I have spent most of the past decade in low earning roles and spinning my wheels professionally.

My wife’s income has steadily increased from 40k to $120k now. She feels our incomes combined would not make for a feasible lifestyle for children. She wants me to increase my income but I truly don’t know how. I have a liberal arts education and cannot go back to be a doctor or a lawyer.

I am increasingly fed up of being told I’m not making enough and it’s effecting my marriage. [/quote]

No where above leads to her “resenting” you.

She is concerned about the HHI and the costs and demands of raising a child.

You, on the other hand, are festering over your volatile erratic and now low income, versus her steady and rising income. And perceiving all sorts of odd things.

Get going and grow up Op. [/quote]
