Yep -- ups the financial pressure around here at home, and my W and I have never jointly dealt well with financial pressure - my natural reaction is to clamp down and try to control and well...she doesn't respond well to control.
Neither one of us really does a good job of rationally discussing it -- something else for me to work on
Good luck with the new/old job change. I can understand the desire to minimize change / risk and keep some stability in your life. I kind of made the same decision. I had a bunch of feelers out and was interviewing for several positions when the bomb hit. At that point, I felt that if I took a new job which required me to work more, travel more, and possibly relocate, I would destroy all chances of reconciliation / repair to the R, so I stopped really interviewing and threw away the offer I had.
With today's economy, I may come to regret that...
