Are you in a financial situation where you can cut your work hours? If so, why would H have an issue with it?
CL
H is the one that likes to spend money. If I quit my job it would mean less money for his toys (i.e. new boat). (Also have to consider college costs for D16). I am considering working through May and then explain that I would like to have the summer off to really enjoy the boat together. He doesn't have routine hours so our days off might never be the same otherwise.
I need to show how not working would benefit HIM. (My current job would not work as a part time job)
Meanwhile, H due home tonight. I told him I wanted to go out for dinner one of the nights he is home. I think I made it clear that I wanted it to be just us--a real date!
