Just a shot in the dark, but I get the impression she had dreams of living as a doctor's wife.....and blames you for not fulfilling it. Sadly, some women do guilt/blame/shame the H who doesn't give them everything they ever wanted.
Every woman would love to have a dream house, but some of us have enough maturity and sense to realize it isn't going to happen, and the relationship is much more important than a house. There is a significant difference in a man who will not work to give his family food & shelter and some other necessities in life that would affect the W's feelings of security. He is not required to give her the best of everything, or for even fulfilling her dreams. That is one reason so many women are disillusioned is b/c they have this wrong idea that the H is suppose fulfill her dreams. I think men who really love their W wants to give her nice things, but may not have the finances to purchase them. It really upsets me to hear how some women just see money signs when they are marrying a man, and then beat him down if he doesn't measure up. Maybe I have it all wrong and she became that way later, but she sounds more than just disappointed. She sounds bitter that your career did not go as hoped.

My wife wants to live alone with the kids and the idea terrifies me. She can't afford it, but she is very strong willed and could make it happen.
After you've described her a little more, I am thinking it would be to your advantage...if she does her go her separate way...that you get the legal department to make the call about what you or how much you pay. Otherwise, she is going to drain you dry. Protect yourself now.
Well, the more you can tell us, the clearer the picture and better we might be able to help.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
