[quote=Anonymous]Although he is saying it poorly, to me it sounds like you are holding the purse string way too tight for your husband's liking. Budget money for the two of you to have have fun (separate and together) because a healthy marriage is as important as 529 plan. And your marriage should not sit in the back burner to your kid's and his family's needs. If that fix his complains, then stop reading all of these dark DCUM thoughts because you and your parents seems to trust him. If he is truly unhappy in this marriage, it seems stupid to stick out for potentially 40 years in the hopes his in-laws won't spend/lose/get swindle out of their money and his wife will then deposit millions on his account for him to claim half.

Don't tell me there is no room in the budget. His family can visit at your expense 1-2 times an year instead of 2-3, you kids can partially barrow money for collage, or a million other things in that budget of yours that is not as important as having a good relationship with your husband.

Now to your problems, first: you seems to have an issue with your husband being less ambitious or you are resenting having to carry more of the financial load (I can't tell which one it is but I suspect the latter). Second, you seem to resent that he is choosing to spend his time-off with his friends than just the two of you (Again it is heathy to do separate and together so maybe that could be the goal instead of either you or them). You also need to have frank discussion with him and/or a therapist about these feelings! I am sure solutions can be found.
