Did you and your husband come to an agreement that it would be you who sacrificed? Or did your husband just kind of pressure or push you into that position? Did your decisions regarding this have to do with earnings potential? Has your husband never come to realize your sacrifice? Has he ever truly shown you that he sees and is grateful for everything you have given? Has he tried to make it up to you?
We talked about our situation years ago and I thought that we both agreed. My wife told me within the last 6 months that I wanted it that way and she really didn't. She was willing to have opposite schedules so that one of us would always be with the kids and she could work, too. I remember telling her I didn't want to never see her. She acquiesced. I made much more money than she did, so I stayed working and she quit. I certainly pray that I have not traded my relationship with my wife for money!
