Alpha and WAW - part 2

[alpha99]

Hi toots

You make a very good point, and I'm sure there's a lot of truth in that. In our case the last few years have been the most financially secure of our 10 years together. W's job meant We could overpay on mortgage, go on 11 holidays in a 2 year period, and have spare cash for things. Two things wrong for us though, to maximise every possibility regarding hols etc, I took tight control over finances. Too tight. W has resentment over that since she was main earner. Secondly, I have no problem with W earning more than me, I felt I was sacrificing a career to be at home, and incidentally I am the better parent by far with the kids no ego here, its just true). Time at home for me when W at work also lead to resentment. Thinking back, last Christmas I had two weeks off.over the Christmas period, w knew for weeks in advane she had to work Christmas eve, Christmas day, New years eve. She was not happy at that or at me and my time off. Again, with kids off school.there wasn't much.choice given our setup, but how now I wish the tables had turned and it was me working and her at home. No doubt her A wouldnt have taken place then and we wouldnt be here.
