A letter to … my wife, who won’t get a job while I work myself to death
- Thread starter Koba St
- Start date
That lady went to law school to find a husband. That's why she looked "radiant while everyone else looked nervous". She didn't have any worries b/c she already had plans to marry one of them so she wouldn't have to work.
That man wants a less stressful position withouth having to downsize. That is why he wants her to work.
That lady is wrong and lazy. Even if she didn't want to be a lawyer, she could've found something else to do. I probably would've began my own business. They have the money to do it.
He should leave her after the last child turns 18.
Actually, you're wrong. More like 20 + years (go back and read). & b/c of that, the rest of your little theory is incorrect as well.
This is what the man thought his wife was going to do. He had no problem with her staying at home to take of the kids. The kids are grown now and she's lazy doing nothing, complaining about wanting more money, but doesn't have a job.

So your wife is a careerwoman, nothing wrong with that. Not all women are though and theres nothing wrong with being a homemaker either thats the point Im making.
Either way that the womans choice, I just think its a weird expectation for a man to have of his wife.
I don't understand how people marry women like this

Thanks, I re-read the post, and to me is he saying he has at least 25 years to go, not that he's been with her for 25 years. In any case, he didn't stand up for himself, and is not in the least blameless.

He got her acclimated to it being one way and now he wants it to be the other way

If this guy is really 20 years deep into a law firm, he's a partner by now. If it's a BigLaw, or even a mid-sized firm, he's got to be grossing in the high-six figures.
He needs to be investing every cent of that or moving it off-shore for the divorce.
He needs to divorce and go in-House before he kills himself.

She is probably being slayed by some nikka who didnt even finish his plumbing course at Everest while ol boy at work
Divorce isnt an option with 3 kids and 20 yrs together the child support and alimony will finish him
This nikkas best bet is to play a long game ...Establish finances that she cant take while waiting till the kids are grown...once the last one leaves he can 
outta there

If I were to ever get married my wife would still have to work. That would be understood. Staying at home would not be an option unless I was DEEP into the millions. Tens at least. Economy is too fragile to pin the fate of a family on one income.
You are right! (yeah, yeah...lol) Thanks. I was just confused. One usually does't last more than 7 years at a firm without partner and buying in (thats US, though). To save my pride, I'm calling
