Hi Lou I don't hate my H, I just get frustated with him sometimes because he makes daft financial choices - this was the 4% I told you about.
He's really romantic, he knows exactly how to treat a woman, what to say, what to do etc but he's fairly hopeless when it comes to money, although he has been getting better at it the last year or so.
He doesn't have much ambition professionally, which frustrates me and his ideal thing is being at home with our dd's.
When I was a home with our first child and did nothing else, I was so bored and unfulfilled that's why I set up the business. I brought in money from my own talent. I sometimes felt I was selling myself short, being a 'housewife' (no offence to housewife's, if it's what you want, great).
H on the other hand hated his office jobs because he said he didn't want to paper-push for someone and get paid only �12,000 a year for 50+ hours a week and then die of a heart attack at age 50. He is happier doing 'odd jobs' freelance and stopping with the kids.
It's crazy, really, when I look back at our M, I see that some of our problem was wanting to be in the opposite role. I think if he had been a 'househusband' and I had gone to the office, it would have solved some of our difficulties.
I love him a great deal, but that's just why sometimes I feel more like the H. He's VERY good with women, though, so maybe that's why.
