"She sees it differently - she wants to work less and have me pay her more so she can have her free time, which she uses to work out, shop, and talk to OM for hours a day!"
Yeah, typical dreamy WAW thinking...
I have a few guys here telling me their wives say the same thing. 2 out of 3 of them are WAWs.... Go figure.
I have read it here on the forum, and I know a guy who successfully DB'd to keep his W, and it seems that sometimes reality has to sink in before they realize how good things were all along. I would predict the same in my sitch.
