[quote=Anonymous]I think OP is a troll but I'll bite.

OP - is it possible your husband's lack of ambition and direction is a result of your career success?  That is not blame or criticism, but I do wonder if he shares your belief in traditional gender roles, but your astronomical success makes it hard for him to be motivated to pursue what would be enormous success in another context, but compared to you would still only be middling, especially when he recognizes someone has to step up at home, and it makes less and less sense for it to be him. I know you are looking for financial advice not relationship advice, but that seems worth mentioning.  Marriage is a partnership and what one partner does invariably affects the other.  Your husband may not want to be a SAHP or even the one taking on the primary responsibility at home, which might be why he is not very good at it as yet.  You may need a real conversation about what life will need to look like with you working 80 hours a week and two small children.

Either way, maybe your marriage is just done.  You sound like you may be done with it at the very least, and that is not judgment.  It's impossible to know and judge what happens on other people's relationships.  If that is the case though, you need to talk to a lawyer about your best options instead of an anonymous board of parents, and think about what types of separation scenarios will be kindest for your husband, and by extension your children.[/quote]
