[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay sounds like opinions are split.  Just to clarify I am a doctor so capable of making a good salary. We are careful with money. I have encouraged him to consider a less stressful job.  I try to be supportive but at some point I don't get vthe point of being in a relationship with someone who can't spare 5 minutes at 830 at night to check in with family.

You’re a doctor?  So you have been through some version of this associate in a law firm thing during residency, and that’s probably why you see through it a little better than those who haven’t worked intensely outside the home.  You have probably seen the other side of this at work too, where someone is dismissive of a spouse who doesn’t understand how VERY IMPORTANT work is vs someone who has a picnic dinner in the call room with his wife and kids during a break in a 30 hour shift.     
You also gave up a lot to cut back and support his career after spending a decade training for yours.  You have every right to be resentful.  [/quote]
