[quote=Anonymous]I'd like to try to offer a different approach to complement some of the good advice you've received here.

If you are the "money manager" of the family - this is just fine and you should take over this role.  Now what can you offer to him so he can become a meaningful part of the relationship and develop some self esteem?  Surely you have some flaw, some Achilles heel, some area in which he thrives and you falter?

Is he funny and social?  Let him plan and enhance your social lives and friend groups.  Can he cook?  Put him in charge of all food intake and celebrate his skill!  Is he handy?  Let him lead a home improvement project.  Does he have great empathy?  Let him be the one who carries the emotional water in your family.  And lean on him for it, all the while making him feel like he has a quality you don't and you need to him become a whole person.

If the only measure of the man is financial acumen than you two seem shit out of luck right now.  Square peg, round hole.  But don't discount your role in his behavior or the psychology behind why you chose HIM to be your partner.  And definitely hold off on procreating until you can make some meaningful changes.[/quote]
