[QUOTE="Grabber, post: 15886316, member: 70485"] Not a parent, but, I know what's involved. I went through it with my Mom and parents at a young age due to severe instability in the family, drug/alcohol abuse, etc. OP - Who does the majority of the cleaning in the house? Grocery shopping, etc. Since this became materialistic, you said you drive an older car. What does your wife drive? How often does she see her friends and go out compared to you? I think what a lot of people in this thread are doing is trying to take ownership of your problem, most likely because they haven't been there or think your situation is the exact same as their's and they dealt with it and you should do it the same way as them. One thing I've learned about people, since I am an observer and I am a strong judge of character. People get comfortable. No one wants to get up as a set time every day, get ready for work, COMMUTE to work and work 10-12 hours a day or more. People need to realize that while the wife, based on the very few posts the OP has provided, is taking care of the kids and some of ht house. He does everything else. The fact that all financial decisions for him, his wife, his kids falls on him. Without him working as he does, they won't have a comfortable life they have now. As I understand it OP, you said your wife doesn't really want to work and she is comfortable with you working, right? In that case, that says it right there. She is comfortable doing what she does and comfortable with you doing what you do. The strain of being the sole provided falls on to one person, versus both parties involved in a Marriage. Lot of people saying avoid the passive aggressive approach, but, there are several in this thread with cute little passive aggressive posts. Ironic. [/QUOTE]
