[quote=Anonymous]OP I chose to leave a good career to raise our kids because my ex traveled 90 nights a year and we had three kids in very close succession. I was a SAHM till we divorced after 14 years that became increasingly abusive. Now- I’m definitely an anomaly but I went back to work for a previous mentor/boss who I had stayed close with. By the time my POS ex settled 2.5 years later I was out earning him. Again- I was lucky but it’s not impossible. I had family money to rely on which is why staying home felt safe to me: but had I not I would strongly recommend a post nuptial agreement delineating that he will continue to fund your retirement or whatever assurance you need to give up your income. It’s a precarious gamble for most, unfortunately. My 12 years home with my kids was a blessing- I loved in and truly believe that my kids benefitted. Good luck with whatever you decide. [/quote]
