[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She quit AND this: "I'm OP. Not to get into the weeds on the math, but we are still paying for school for the older. DW's salary covered infant care for both kids, her retirement, our healthcare, and there was a couple of hundred bucks at the end of month. So, it was a wash in her mind but not mine. We use my health insurance (crappier)."

why do people post w/o reading?  [/quote]

I'm confused, that just [b]confirms she did not make anything close to half their income as her salary paid for little other than child care and her benefits[/b].

OP, I was a SAH who went back to work and yes, that commonly happens.  But trying to force her into it isn't going to do anything other than compound the issues in your marriage.  Agree with pp that there isn't anything else people on this thread can do for you; this is at bottom about communication issues between you and your wife.[/quote]

You know this ... how?  OP hasn't said what his income is relative to what hers was.  And in any case, retirement savings and good health insurance is nothing to sneeze at.[/quote]
