[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband expressed his desire that I stay home. I didn't like the idea too much, I was anxious and uncomfortable. When my DC was born I couldn't stay away from her and became greatful that my husband was ok with me staying home. He became very successful over the years, but all of this was the result of long office hours and traveling for business meetings. None of this would have been possible if we decided to go 50/50.

If the relationship is otherwise good, I would stick with him. You're not getting any younger and if you end this relationship you might not have children. I know you said that this is ok, but you'll probably start seeing things differently when you realize how hard it is to find a good man at your age.[/quote]

OP here. I'm not anxious or uncomfortable about being a SAHM, I just find the lifestyle unappealing. I'd rather keep my career, even if part-time. I'd also rather be married to a less successful man who at least spends time with family and does his fair share of childcare.[/quote]
