I spend 60-65 hours a week homeschooling the kids, cleaning, cooking, paying the bills, being a sahm mom. My H says I get room and board for this like that is some wonderful payment from him (he's a lawyer) and seems to see me now as an employee rather than a wife. He seems to be bothered when I take a few hours off during the weekend when he is home


OK...now I'm mad.

A stay at home mom is a real job. And homeschooling is even tougher.

He has an affair, and resents that you take some time for yourself? Listen, you TAKE time for yourself.

He gives you no spending money? Uhhhh...honey, in case you forgot, by law 50% of all your family income and assets are yours while you are married. Most states are common property states. So he gets to f*ck another woman and puts you on a strict allowance?

He's cruel and deluded and thinks you'll take this lying down.

I suggest you see a lawyer to get information about your rights. If he divorces you, make sure you get you fair share. Rather, take him to the cleaners.

If you can't get money out of him now for your interests, if need be, stop homeschooling the kids and put them in school. Get a part-time job and do what you want with your money.

Don't pussyfoot around this ogre.

Many men would kill to have a woman like you.

Do I get to punch him in the mouth?
