[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he was turning out to be less successful professionally than you thought he would be (like not being partner material), would you consider divorce?   What if you were getting the impression that he was turning out to be more "beta" than "alpha" mail in professional or social situations?  [/quote]

My husband as been under or unemployed for the 7+ years I've known him. I knew he was "behind" professionally and financially when we met, but I thought he had potential. I'm not so sure anymore. The more time that goes by, the more resentful I feel towards him and myself -- that I made such a poor choice in a partner.

DH is a terrific father to our toddler, he does more than his share of household upkeep, and he's one of the best persons I know in terms of character, generosity, integrity, etc. but all of this is overshadowed when I feel chronically stressed from the pressure of being the primary breadwinner. For this reason, I am no longer attracted to DH. I don't want or need a man to take care of me; I want a partnership where we are realizing our financial goals and dreams (college fund for DC, golden retirement, house, etc) together.

I feel lonely, depressed, and bleak about my future. I have no one to talk to about this, so I post anonymously on DCUM.  :( [/quote]

DH here and I'm in the same boat.  [/quote]
