I am 37, she is 34, been married for 10 years . She works FT job , but just this month she did not include her salary our account. I work the part time job two or three times a week, 15 hours total on top of my full time job. I initially got the part time job when we had our second child to pay for extra bills; but now we have been using it to pay for extras and vacations. I also use the money, because I pay all the bills.
The family vacation we take every summer for two weeks, I have reserved the hotels, and when she said she wants to move out, she said I can cancel if I want, but she likes to see the children happy on this annual trip. And I couldn't dream of cancelling the trip, cause I want us all to be together,and saving up all year. I jump at things, specially, on a Saturday when sometimes she asks to have lunch as a family, then I get over excited.
I have really been trying to sort myself out, part of the history is that I have worked alot, and got complacent. She was home taking great care of our children, while I was working.And the amount she used to do, packing school lunches, putting children to bed, she did this and being organized , so she has been doing the two jobs as well. When I started to do these things, she said ..to little to late, you should have been doing these things years ago.
