I can somewhat relate to your situation. My husband is an entrepreneur, I had a corporate job with insurance, benefits, stock options, etc. I put him on my insurance, he enjoyed the benefits of my stable income.
I lost my job 2 years ago and things have been very rocky since then. I too am not ready to paint him with the con man brush mainly because I know in his past marriage and relationships, he was the breadwinner (business was much better back then) and he took alot of pride in taking care of his woman. He didn't have the resources to do that with me and I actually think that was a part of our issue. He would never say it, but I think that's true.
Hang in there.
