Good for you, OP, living your life and not that of Megacorp’s or even DH’s.

This comment made me think of this poster from the 50’s.

FYI, that's a hoax.

Investigations found this to be a hoax. .... However, there was no magazine called Housekeeping Monthly;

Oh yeah, 50s mentality: Stand by your man! Even if he neglects or mistreats you, because you and your children are completely financially dependent on him.

I'm one to post to this thread, as I'm in a situation with a reluctant spouse as well.


However, this week I found out that two people that had quit (one took an ER package), after taking time off to travel and just hangout, started adventure 2.0 in their lives. Perhaps the solution in your case is a new part time endeavor for your other half, such as volunteer work or even a job. One of the people I mentioned are now running a BnB with fantastic, creative breakfasts (too much work, imho) and the other is doing part time, low stress work on a contract basis (with good pay).
