[quote=Anonymous]OP, I am in a similar position. DH went to top schools, did very well academically, and his first jobs were fairly prestigious. Over time, though, he just fell behind. In his case I believe it is a deep lack of confidence and reluctance towards self-assertion -- maybe even some unconscious ambivalence about being successful. He's also too much of a perfectionist for his own good, which really kills his efficiency. I will say that when he does complete a project it is always excellent, however. Anyway, I spent the better part of my 30's resentful and feeling a bit ripped off about this. My solution was to go back to school and work on my own career. I now make most of the money and he's taken on more home responsibilities. Hey, it wasn't what I signed on for but it's better than sitting around feeling angry. He's a good man and a great dad. Just a lousy earner. Oh well, what can you do?[/quote]
