[quote=Anonymous][quote]i stopped working and got my body into stripper shape. All I do is work out and get myself hot for my husband.[code]

You must be fascinating to be around.i think OP is looking for a partner to pull her weight. But you do for...

Anyway,OP, think about the impact on your kids, what model is best..

Your sounds like my mom. Lifelong depressive who never finished her phd. My dad, a successful academic, was the primary parent for a long time. My mom cooked and drove us around during the week, while raging about her shitty life, but my dad dealt with us all weekend. He used to stay up until 3 am working to do it all. She would sleep in for hours on the weekend. Some days I would not see her all day. Never occurrrd to her thst she was responsible for the  home since she wasnt working...atsome point she insisted she needed more help because she wanted to work. We had a housekeeper 4x a week and a college student driver but my mom, though she would spend hours in her office, could barely manage to adjunct one course. Finally-- my dad left her (there were other deep issues).  The issue was never the work load, it was my mom's depression and anxiety but she never dealt with it, just usually blamed my dad for putting his career over hers, never accepting responsibility for her own underachievement. She didn't know how to just get shit done, whether work or home life.

I became a successful and driven person who manages to more or less balance career and kids, which my mom finds hard to deal with (usually finds a way to undermine my success). But my brother married a depressive neurotic who never worked or had kids and who he is now forced to support despite finally divorcing her....he chose someone like my mom and ended up leaving her, just like my dad did..[/quote]
