Of course. You clearly hate him. Provide notice on a memorable day.

Not one woman in that thread was thinking of leaving their husband because of his inability to earn more money.



I said it ranks up there with the other thread. Pay attention.

I paid attention, did you? Some wished they had chosen differently, but no one was planning on leaving.

Way more appropriate. Good. I hope that whether or not counseling leads to reconciliation, that it at least leads to civil, respectful interaction. Good luck.

Maybe not the best place to do it, but I had been trying to address it with him for years in private and he never listened. Fast forward we are in couples therapy and I am in individual therapy and we are making progress. We have a long way to go but you owe it to your kids and yourself to make every effort to fix the marriage before bailing. You do not want to have regrets. Good luck from me, just on the other side.

For those of you who said I was after his money - relax. We are both government contractors, we make pretty much the same amount of money, despite him being a PhD and me only an MBA.


Bet he was scared s'less going to dinner.
