[quote=Anonymous]OP, you and your DH are a team. In the old days, your roles were he took care of bringing in the cash and you took care of house and kids. Now that he can't bring in as much cash as needed, and I assume you don't have babies at home anymore, you need to update your roles. At his age, DH may never make what he used to make. Take some pressure off him and try to make up that 30% yourself. Anything will help. I don't care how traditional a couple you are; he will be resentful if he's working hard for less money and he sees you still sitting at home all day. Not be brutal, but you should be past "laying the groundwork," unless you're training for something lucrative, like programming, or getting a teaching certificate or something. Even if you take a part-time job, it will bring in some cash and still allow you to work on a career switch if necessary. BTDT, or I wouldn't have replied.[/quote]
