[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Leaving aside the issue of whether OP should be earning more or whatever, I'm having a hard time imagining continuing in a marriage after the spouse has said "make more money or I'm divorcing you". How could you ever be happy or secure in your marriage again?[/quote]

I'm sure he didn't just abruptly make this announcement. It's probably something that's been brewing for a while. Would you prefer if her DH didn't say anything and just filed for divorce without warning? At least he's giving her notice. A lot of guys in his position have been known to abruptly dump their wives for younger women.

And I think it's less "make more money" and more "put a little more effort into it." I doubt he expects her to be making big money, but he probably feels like cooking dinner and sending birthday cards isn't fair when he has to work full-time. Most men don't expect their wives to make as much money as they do, especially when they were SAHMs for a lengthy period. I think it's really about attitude and effort here.[/quote]
